Rebuilding Spins Packages

When

This package should get rebuilt shortly before alpha, beta and the release when there have been changes in spin kickstart files since the last build. An update should be done if there was a change shortly after a release. When spin-kickstarts is branched for a release, a new devel package should be built corresponding to the next Fedora release.

How

• Get a checkout of the appropriate spin-kickstarts branch
  • git clone ssh://git.fedorahosted.org/git/spin-kickstarts.git spin-kickstarts
  • cd spin-kickstarts
  • If not using the master branch switch to the appropriate branch
    • git checkout BRANCH_NAME
  • If there is new, removed or moved kickstart file update Makefile.am to reflect that.
  • Edit configure.ac to update the version or release
  • Edit spin-kickstarts.spec.in to update the change log
  • If any changes above have been made, then they should be committed and pushed back
    • git commit -a
    • git push
  • aclocal
  • automake
  • autoconf
  • ./configure
  • make dist
  • Edit spin-kickstarts.spec if some changelog history needs to be included from existing package, that isn't in the changelog in the git repo. (And isn't wanted there; otherwise it should have been done above.)
  • To make a local srpm (perhaps for testing)
    • install -D -m 644 spin-kickstarts-*.tar.gz ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES
    • install -D -m 644 spin-kickstarts.spec ~/rpmbuild/SPECS</cpde>
    • rpmbuild -ba ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/spin-kickstarts.spec

1. If the sprm gets published then publish the tar.gz file on fedorahosted

scp spin-kickstarts-*.tar.gz fedorahosted.org:spin-kickstarts

1. Clean up the generated files:

git clean

1. To update a branch of spin-kickstarts
2. Make sure the branch is current (cvs up)
3. Copy over the new spec file
4. In each branch run make new-sources FILES=/pathto/spin-kickstarts-*.tar.gz
5. Commit the changes with cvs commit
6. Make a new tag with make tag
7. Do the build with make build
