Question about copr: howto update my project and rebuild the package

[Dario Lesca]

I have follow this quick start howto:
https://docs.pagure.org/copr.copr/user_documentation.html#quick-start

and i have correctly upload and rebuild my src.rpm package on copr.

Now I must modify a source file  and .spec file then rebuild the
package.

What is the best way to procede?

I must modify this files in local, rebuild src.rpm in local then re-
publishing it to copr, or I can modify these files on copr?

Let's me know.

Many thanks

I don't know if this helps but I just started using a COPR for alphas/betas
of projects already in Fedora, my workflow is as follows:

1. Fork the project from src.fedoraproject.org
2. git clone the forked project
3. Add a "upstream" remote back to fedora dist-git.
4. Update the spec file (I use rpmdev-bumpspec -n <version> -c "Update to
<version>." <spec>)
5. Download the new source files and upload them to the forked dist-git via
rpkg (I have no idea where this goes and I don't think it's necessary, see
below).
6. Commit the changes (to the fork, not the fedora dist git)
7. rpkg build <project-name>

This creates an SRPM and uploads it to COPR instead of having COPR check
out the forked project like fedpkg does. So I really don't need to upload
the sources to the lookaside cache.

Thanks,
