You can do this with the "update issue information" API call: https://pagure.io/api/0/#issues-tab This is done by the CentOS Hyperscale folks for the package-updates tracker: https://pagure.io/centos-sig-hyperscale/package-updates The automation for it is present in that repo. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! _______________________________________________ epel-devel mailing list -- epel-devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to epel-devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/epel-devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
