If data volume is expensive or difficult for you, you could

Thanks. Doesn't look expensive, but if it is only used for occasional
package builds, it is probably still a waste.
There is a thing called "DPLY" which gives free access to a Digital
Ocean-based droplet for 2 hours (you can pay for more).
Here's the link to deploy Fedora 26: https://dply.co/b/f4BVCJuS
It's only a small instance and not suitable for a lot of things, but
might be good enough to validate and upload your large sources.
Thanks, it looks more promising for such tasks, I'll bookmark it.
However, is it really that hard/problematic/.. for Fedora to support
such a use case? Certainly it'd be much more convenient for packagers if
such a small (at least, this is how I look at it!) enhancement is made.
If yes, then apparently using a third-party system is the only option.
Thanks,
Hedayat
