Hi Jun, thanks for reaching out! I'd suggest CCing someone from our
team in future to make sure we see your message. It's good though you
started the discussion on fedora-devel.

There is a bunch of projects who are already integrated with
packit-service at this point:
* https://github.com/beaker-project/restraint/blob/master/.packit.yaml
* https://github.com/abrt/faf/blob/master/.packit.yml
* https://github.com/containerbuildsystem/atomic-reactor/blob/master/.packit.yaml
* https://github.com/fedora-modularity/libmodulemd/blob/master/.packit.yml
* https://github.com/packit-service/ogr/blob/master/.packit.yaml (and
us obviously)
* ...

This the basic use case which packit is helping to solve.

Ideally, you'd maintain the spec upstream and packit will copy [1] it
for you when you perform releases.

Packit does not sync changelogs b/w the two places because they tend
to differ. As for release number -- those can get out of sync. Luckily
everything is git so changes can be seen easily and reverted or
updated.

It is, just include the patch file in the repo.


Please let us know if you need any help with setting everything up.
