Packit: Bridging the Gap Between Fedora and openSUSE

The Linux world thrives on collaboration, yet distribution-specific tooling can create barriers. Packit, a CI/CD solution originally created for Fedora, is tearing down these walls by now supporting other distributions as well. Thanks to Google Summer of Code contributions, Packit now integrates with the Open Build Service (OBS), enabling support for openSUSE and other distributions.

We’ll dive into the new capabilities possible thanks to the OBS integration and demonstrate how openSUSE developers can now take full advantage of Packit's automation features — whether you're maintaining packages or managing the CI/CD pipeline for an upstream project.

Whether you're a Fedora maintainer, an openSUSE contributor, or simply curious about next generation CI/CD solutions, this talk will give you insights into the practical advantages and real-world applications of Packit's growing toolset!
