I’m trying to set up Github Actions to build a modified version of the kernel package. I have a private Github repo 2bdkid/fedora-kernel which contains a modified f34 branch of https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/kernel.git.
I configured a Github Actions self-runner on my desktop and all of the kernel building dependencies are already installed. To build the kernel I am executing fedpkg local on the repo. Here’s the problem:
One of the first things fedpkg does is download a linux source tarball. However, it generates a URL to this tarball using the repository name, so in my case it uses 2bdkid/fedora-kernel instead of rpms/kernel, which results in a HTTP 404 error, killing the build.
This is the output from one of the build runs:
Run fedpkg --verbose local

Is there a way to tell fedpkg to change the repository name so this doesn’t happen?
