rob thijssen 22e1ba33be feat: initial copr-publish composite action
Wraps copr-cli submit/watch/download-build with per-chroot log
dumping as collapsible ::group:: blocks. Moves the logic previously
living at .gitea/scripts/copr-build.sh in helexa/cortex into a
reusable action so every consumer gets live log visibility and
consistent failure diagnostics.

Inputs: project, srpm (glob OK), copr-config (secret).

copr-publish

Gitea composite action that submits a source RPM to Fedora COPR, watches the build, and dumps each chroot's builder-live.log into the CI output as collapsible groups.

Why use this

copr-cli build by itself only prints status transitions (pending / importing / running / succeeded). When a build fails you have to click through to the COPR web UI to see the actual log. This action:

  • Submits with --nowait and captures the build ID.
  • Prints a clickable https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/build/... link so you can follow live.
  • Watches the build to completion (blocks, propagates exit status).
  • On completion, fetches each chroot's builder-live.log via copr-cli download-build and emits them as ::group:: blocks.
  • Fails CI if the build fails, but always dumps logs first.

Requirements

The runner must already have:

  • copr-cli on PATH (provided by the copr-cli RPM on Fedora runners).
  • grep -P (PCRE, default on Fedora).

Inputs

Input Required Description
project yes COPR project in the form <owner>/<project>, e.g. helexa/cortex.
srpm yes Path or glob to the source RPM(s) to submit, e.g. *.src.rpm.
copr-config yes Contents of ~/.config/copr. Fetch from https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/api/ and store as a repo or org secret.

Usage

jobs:
  publish:
    runs-on: fedora
    steps:
      - uses: actions/download-artifact@v3
        with:
          name: my-srpm

      - name: Publish to COPR
        uses: https://git.lair.cafe/actions/copr-publish@v1
        with:
          project: helexa/cortex
          srpm: '*.src.rpm'
          copr-config: ${{ secrets.COPR_CONFIG }}

Note the fully-qualified URL in uses: — the Gitea instance's DEFAULT_ACTIONS_URL points at github.com, so internal actions must be referenced by absolute URL.

Versioning

Pin to a major version tag (@v1) for automatic patch/minor updates. Pin to an exact tag (@v1.0.3) to freeze.

Obtaining COPR_CONFIG

  1. Log in to https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/.
  2. Visit https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/api/.
  3. Copy the entire [copr-cli] config block.
  4. Save as a Gitea secret named COPR_CONFIG in the consuming repo (or at org level to share across all org repos).
