Description of problem: When the build failed at importing, the log link is broken: failed - Build failed. See logs for more details. BUT http://copr-dist-git.fedorainfracloud.org/per-task-logs/604331.log Not Found The requested URL /per-task-logs/604331.log was not found on this server. Thus we don't know why it fails. Moreover, the documentation is quite confusing on how to use a git hosting service (Github, pagure) as input: * It misses a clear tutorial * How to store large tar file ? Best practices * Can build process download the source from internet ? (my upload link is too low to upload SRPM just to try if it works) * Any explanation when the build fails. I succeed to build https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/fabricesalvaire/ngspice/ but not https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/fabricesalvaire/xyce Why ???
Hello, the logs are available here: https://copr-be.cloud.fedoraproject.org/results/fabricesalvaire/xyce/srpm-builds/ We already have copr-frontend released with this info available in UI (https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2017-def19d0fd5) but we need to wait until it gets into Fedora for a few more days. > Moreover, the documentation is quite confusing on how to use a git hosting service (Github, pagure) as input: * It misses a clear tutorial * How to store large tar file ?

Yes, you are right in all the points. We are in the middle of transition period to a "final" solution (not exactly final but final enough to be user-comfortable and useful). And as I see we should do this quickly. To answer at least something...build process can download sources from internet.
Logs for srpm build stage are now available through UI. Also documentation is now much improved https://docs.pagure.org/copr.copr/user_documentation.html#scm (will be probably further tweaked). You can also read a blog post here: https://clime.github.io/2017/10/24/COPR-SCM.html for further information. As for storing large tar files, git-lfs or git-annex seems to be a way (apart from storing it somewhere else and using URLs in Source .spec definitions) but I don't think COPR currently allows it :(.
