How to build package off GitHub

[Jan Holčapek]

Hello there,

since I'm new to Copr, and could not find answers in [1], particularly in
section [2], I'm seeking help here.

First things first: did I actually get it right it's possible to build SRPM
and binary RPMs off git URL (accessible over https, namely Github repo)?

Here's what I would like to do:

1) create a new copr
2) create a new package within the copr
3) build the package off the sources (tar.gz + specfile) hosted on Github
4) package is built

Here's what I end up with:
1) well, I did that
2) ditto, so far, so good
3) build failed with suggestion "See logs for more details.", yet I can't
find any
4) (not there yet)

I'm suppose this might be an instance of a known bug [3], yet the
referenced build [4] is off external SRPM, rather than public git, like my
build [5].

Thanks!

Jan
