i regularly create COPR projects, which link an upstream repo .spec in a pagure project.

i want to build @ COPR _after_ modifying the .spec.

there are 2 ways I see doing that.

(1) manually modifying/patching the spec itself (2) having the buildsys auto-apply a patch to the spec, prior to the build

(1) is trivial, _if_ I edit a _fork_; that interferes with workflow, breaking upstream source updates' triggers for autobuilds at COPR

(2) is doable at opensuse's OBS, specifying the patch to be applied to the link-ed project sources

e.g.,

https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/home:pgnd:devel:gcc10/gcc10/_li...

what (other) mechanism exists for applying patches to a COPR spec, prior to build?

is there an OBS-style functional equivalent?

You can trigger the custom build (shell script) [1] using the custom webhook, and do whatever you need to (clone repo, apply patches, etc.). It's not really an equivalent, so -- as I understand it -- most of your requirements are specified in upstream ticket: https://pagure.io/copr/copr/issue/1441
