I'd like to enable Packit-as-a-Service (

Qpid Dispatch GitHub repositories, so that every new PR gets tested on
Fedora infrastructure (latest released Fedora and Fedora Rawhide).
There are three (gradually more involved) ways to use Packit:
1. use it as a CI system that runs on Fedora (configurable version and
system architecture (x86_64, aarch64). The job steps are incidentally
written in a RPM spec file, but we don't use the produced RPM
2. write the spec in a way that it builds useful RPM, but don't publish the
rpm and don't synchronize the spec file with the spec file that Fedora uses
in its Proton build
3. keep the RPM specs in sync with fedora, when new Proton is released, use
a single packit command to propose spec changes and version upgrade from
the upstream proton spec to Fedora Rawhide
My intention is to get Proton all the way to the third scenario.
There are three steps to do this:
First, if the plan is approved in a vote here, ASF infra will enable the
GitHub integration, https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-25349
(authed link)
Then, a RPM spec file needs to be written and committed to the repository.
I volunteer to do that. The Packit CI job will be building from this spec
file. I'd like to place the spec in a packaging/ sub directory, so that
files for other packaging systems can be added later and it does not
clutter the /.
Finally, the spec file should be brought into 1:1 correspondence with the
spec file that Fedora itself uses. This way, changes to Fedora's spec can
be proposed and tested in the ASF project first and then shipped into
Fedora (Rawhide).
Benefits:
* Compilation of Fedora will be tested directly in the GitHub repo and
issues can be fixed right away.
* Packit infrastructure offers arm64 machines, so we can opt into compiling
on arm as well
