When we started packit, we played with the scripts and makefiles in
your kernel repo and I hope it's not too bold of me to say that it
shouldn't be that hard to integrate the two now.
I'm assuming you're using pagure.io - at this point, we're not going
to integrate packit with pagure (for obvious reasons). What are your
future plans for the git forge?
The benefits would be that you'd get all the features of packit which
we have right now and those we implement in future.
While the scripts have changed a bit, I don't see any actual benefit
to packit with what we are doing. The script to create a release
builds the dist-git. This was more about managing the lookaside so
that we weren't uploading quite as much with the daily kernel builds
in rawhide.
