This week in the project involved bug fixes, integration cleanup and small improvements.

Bug Fixes and Workarounds

A key function required for the Forgejo integration which is used to fetch files from repositories was broken in the current Fedora 42 release due to an upstream bug in Forgejo’s OpenAPI spec. While the bug is already fixed in newer versions, it couldn’t be backported cleanly due to dependency constraints.

To move forward, I upgraded the service to run on Fedora Rawhide. However, Rawhide had its own quirks, the celery package was broken. To work around this, I installed celery directly from PyPI instead, which resolved the issue for now.

There were also several issues related to how data was being passed between the celery tasks. In particular, raw comment objects from Forgejo events were being passed around, which are not JSON-serializable and caused failures. With help from my mentor, added fixes in the logic to ignore the problematic object from being included in the payload.

Improvements and features

Enabled the `fedora-review` tool for all COPR builds in the codebase by monkey-patching the API call to enable fedora-review, which is not available directly otherwise from the packit API. This allows us to get a list of tasks and requirements for Fedora packaging compliance for the corresponding build of the package.

As of now, COPR builds and testing of the builds work. I started working on status reporting, it’s still rough, and I attempted to get comments working, but I’ll need to add more support in the OGR library to implement commit status properly.

What’s Next?

• Add support for Forgejo commit status API.
• Comments about status and builds from the service
• Add unit tests for the new functionality
• Upstream Forgejo code to packit-service
