I talked with Slavek at summit briefly and we talked about a way to handle the giturl-of-doom or turning various arbitrary blobs into srpms.
I suggest that the tool turn-git-to-srpm-o'matic should not be part or copr itself. It should be separate project. And there are already some existing. E.g. Tito, or {cpan,gem,...}2spec + rpmbuilder and probably others. Yes - copr can use them and utilize them.
I agree. The whole point of the playbook is to run other programs.
I don't know what the turn-git-to-srpm-omatic would do - Slavek said Radek was very interested in that ability. When Slavek and I talked about it at summit I said - I don't know what particular tool would be used to do that conversion but if the url that we git from the user for a package is NOT a srpm then we should just pass it off to this program and move merrily along.
