Hi, I maintain a few packages in [my copr] (hazel-bunny/ports Copr). I use the %autorelease macro for handling releases in accordance with the recommendations from the fedora project. It is supposed to automatically bump release number on rebuild. However, when I’m trying to rebuild [this package] (Build 6219412 in hazel-bunny/ports) the release number is not increased on subsequent rebuilds. Could anybody explain the cause and possible fix?
I do not see any commits to the spec file after your switch to autorelease.
A simple “rebuild” of a build in copr will not change the release - it rebuilds the exact same package.
A rebuild - or rather - retrigger in copr or via git makes copr/rpkg rebuild the spec/srpm. If nothing has changed in the history then no new release will be created: autorelease basically just counts the number of commits since the last version bump.

Thank you!
For anybody wanting to bump release without changing spec, eg for rebuilding against new dependencies, follow this
