Every packager encounters boring manual tasks every once in a while and these tasks can most probably be automated to some extent. During Hackweek I aim to try and identify such cases in various packagers' workflow and consider creating a tool that would make these tasks easier. Also, I would like to find out whether there is a demand for such tool. In that case, this Hackweek project will turn into a long-term task I plan to keep working on.

      Another idea is what the Yast team does with all packages: https://ci.opensuse.org/view/Yast/job/yast-autoinstallation-master/lastStableBuild/consoleFull

      We have Jenkins jobs that periodically check for changes in Git. If some are found, we checkout the Git repo, create a package, build it, run tests, and if everything is OK, we also submit it to our devel project and create a subtmit request to openSUSE and SLE.

      Of course, we run more tests than just unit tests. We also, for instance, run RuboCop to check the code quality.
