[conspire] open source, working as designed (with helpful build+test tooling)

[Don Marti]

I know that pretty much everyone is (rightfully) freaking out about 
stuff that is getting worse, but I just wanted to share some good news 
in the form of an old-fashioned open-source success story / software 
automation win.

I'm a fairly boring person and developed most of my software habits in 
the late 1990s and early 2000s, so it's pretty rare that I actually hit 
a bug. But my script for rebuilding my blog ( 
https://blog.zgp.org/automatically-run-make/ ) hit an error recently, 
since it is now keeping track of more than 1024 files.

1. I filed https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2345921

2. A helpful developer, Jan Kratochvil, wrote a fix and put in a pull 
request.

3. A bot made test packages and commented with instructions for me on 
how to test the fix.

4. I commented that the new version works for me

5. The fix just went into Fedora. Pretty damn slick.

These kids today don't know how good they have it...
