0) Would it be possible to add tags to the kernel.git repository
corresponding to the "%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}" tags (ie, rpm querytags) of
the kernel rpms (that have actually been released)?
1) Eg, checking out the current Fedora 16 kernel could be done with
git checkout 3.3.2-1.fc16
instead of
rpm -q kernel-3.3.2-1.fc16 --changelog | head
git log -p origin/f16 | less
[ grep on the string "Linux 3.3.2" ]
[ copy a sha1sum ]
git checkout 28b13140ec3375d59bac4f2d6bc336f7b8ed6fc7
We might be able to script something to do this.
2) Or would that require a lot of work for the people in charge of stuff
like that?
It's not a huge burden, but it's something we'd need to remember to do.
And if we have to remember it, we're going to forget it sometimes too
;).
Lets see what can be scripted so we don't have to remember and then we
can run it by the team.
This is already available in fedpkg:
$ fedpkg gitbuildhash kernel-3.3.2-1.fc16
28b13140ec3375d59bac4f2d6bc336f7b8ed6fc7
That covers the hard part. Now we need to look into coming up with a
workflow that uses that and creates the approriate tags.
Well, it is something that all fedora packages could use, it is not
restricted to tke kernel package.
Maybe fedpkg should create a tag when building or filing an update.
CC'ing jkeating who seems to be the fedpkg contact (see
https://fedorahosted.org/fedpkg/) for his thoughts.
Cheers,
Niels
