      Scope
      Add a workflow to silence expected failures when waiting on external changes.

      Background & Motivation

      The rpm-package-build task and debian-package-build tasks are often failing awaiting external changes. For example the rpm-package-build task has been failing since March 2025

      I expect this causes alert fatigue. Devs are used to seeing this task fail. Ideas:

      • Disable packaging tasks by default with disable: true. Enable only when there is a need to test packaging.
      • Apply patches for needed changes to pass task.
