Issues with Setting up maltekiefer/fedora-extras COPR – Repeated Failures

Hello Fedora Community,

I’ve been trying to set up the maltekiefer/fedora-extras COPR for quite some time now, but I keep facing repeated issues that I haven’t been able to resolve. Despite my best efforts, the setup always fails. Here’s a summary of what I’ve done so far:

  1. COPR setup: I’ve followed the instructions to set up the COPR repository and added all the packages as required.
  2. Multiple Attempts: I’ve been waiting for quite a while now, retrying the setup several times, but it consistently fails.
  3. Troubleshooting: I’ve tried reconfiguring my setup multiple times, but no matter what I do, I continue to run into failures.

Has anyone else experienced similar issues with this COPR? Are there any known problems with the repository or with the packages it includes? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance!

Best,
Malte

Your builds have all failed, so I would expect problems with your spec file.

When you check the log, you see the issue is that the repo.xml is missing. Spec build is successful.

You builds are all failing - I see no successful builds.

The log I checked had this line in it.

[2026-04-18 10:21:10,809][ ERROR][PID:2272767] Backend process error: Giving up waiting for copr_base repository, please try to manually regenerate the DNF repository (e.g. by 'copr-cli regenerate-repos <project_name>')

Did you do the copr-cli regenerate-repos command as suggested?

I looked here https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/maltekiefer/fedora-extras/build/10344561/
and see if failed.

Source state is marked as success Source state: succeeded but that is not the build.

Where are you seeing success?

This ist what I mean

Nothing changed

What messages do you see when you run the command?

There is a mailing list where the copr people hang out.
I think you should ask them for help, sounds like something is not working as intended.

I think I joined on this page Making sure you're not a bot!

Hello everybody,
I just wanted to let you know what happened.

There was some unexpected Pulp outage over the weekend, which resulted in Pulp not processing its task queue. Therefore, when you created a new Copr project, its repository was not properly generated because the task was stuck in the queue.

@dkliban solved it on Sunday before anyone from the Copr team noticed, and everything should be fine now, there are even successful builds in the OP repository now

Sorry for the troubles
