Layered build scripts for package maintainers

Tools for package automation

fedpkg interacts with only one package, whereas the reality is many maintainers work with multiple RPMs, often with inter-build dependencies, from potentially multiple source code locations.

This page is attempting to gather together lists of scripts and tools which edit spec files programmatically and are either layered on top of fedpkg/koji/copr, or act as a more agile bypass.

Hopefully, you will find one of these tools useful. However, the author of this page has as a real motivation arguing that the underlying infrastructure should support some of this directly.
