[Mageia-dev] Faster GNOME package submission

Wed Feb 22 17:23:27 CET 2012

I've enhanced my mga-gnome script to be able to increase the version
+number + reset %mkrel in an existing spec file. The script is meant for
+GNOME related packages/versions!
+
+To e.g. increase boabab to version 3.3.2:
+  # just once:
+  mkdir ~/src ~/bin ~/pkgs
+  cd ~/src
+  svn co svn+ssh://svn.mageia.org/svn/soft/mga-gnome/trunk mga-gnome
+  cd ~/bin
+  ln -s ~/src/mga-gnome mga-gnome
+  # command itself:
+  mga-gnome increase baobab 3.3.2
+
+This will:
+  cd ~/pkgs
+  mgarepo co baobab
+  - checks current version is newer than existing version
+  - do some regexp magic to increase version + reset %mkrel
+  - some verifications for the regexp magic
+  mgarepo sync -d    (downloads the new version)
+  bm -p --nodeps     (check that patches apply)
+
+I want it to also check the version more closely, e.g.:
+ 3.3.x -> 3.3.y : OK (unstable->unstable)
+ 3.3.x -> 3.4.0 : OK (unstable->stable)
+ 3.2.x -> 3.2.y : OK (stable->stable)
+ 3.2.x -> 3.3.y : NOT OK (stable->unstable)
+
+You might get a few bad looking tracebacks when "mgarepo" or "bm" fails.
+I have to make the output a bit nicer.
+
+Anyway, I've just tried this with a few packages. In future, I might
+automatically even do:
+  mgarepo ci -m "new version"
+  mgarepo submit
+But I want to first do more testing, plus add SHA256 verification (what
+GNOME uses and advises).
+
+
