Note that we might decide later that it's better to invoke spectool on dist-git so that sources are not downloaded multiple times across builders.

To my understanding, there's nothing builders should download from the internet (except for packages from remote repos) as all the sources are downloaded just once then "cached" by copr's dist-git. What am I missing?

Well, you still have internet, but what do you mean by "downloading" multiple times?

what do you mean by "downloading" multiple times

Ah, after seeing implementation I see now..

Enabling spectool by 9d3f473 is not what package maintainer usually wants (this is something I almost never wanted so far). Please, hide spectool behind option (otherwise it just brings additional surprises).

Also, you should really implement this on the dist-git side; so once the package is imported, everything is "backed up" by dist-git for reproducibility. This way you would solve the downloading multiple times problem.

Sorry, of course I meant 983ea43 commit before.
