Please note that there are references to Fedroa 12 and Fedora 13
in the section For Testers:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Package_update_HOWTO#For_Testers
Perhaps these should be updated ?
I am planning on making some minor changes to the section
Build a Package For Rawhide:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Package_update_HOWTO#Build_a_package_for_Rawhide
and would appreciate any feed back or comments about them.
In the past I have made the mistake of running
fedpkg build
In cases that failed and could have been avoided using scratch builds; see
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Using_the_Koji_build_system#Scratch_Builds
It now seems to me preferable to do the following before uploading new
sources:
wget http:///path/to/yournewtarball.tar.gz .
rmpbuild -bs <package_name>.spec
koji build --scratch rawhide <package_name>.srpm
To this end, I have listed a set of edits below:
1. Place the example code above before the example code
fedpkg new-sources /path/to/yournewtarball.tar.gz
2. Change the previous example code to
fedpkg new-sources yournewtarball.tar.gz
3. Place the follow example code
fedpkg scratch-build
directly before the example code
fedpkg srpm
koji build --scratch --arch-override x86_64 f18 ...
with some connecting text.
4. Change the final example
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Package_update_HOWTO#Example
to
# get the curent fedora settings
fedpkg clone foo
# change into directory created by previous commnad
cd foo
# get the upstream source
wget -N http://dl.sf.net/foo/foo-0.0.2.tar.bz2
# change the required things in the specfile
gedit foo.spec
# check that the changes you made are correct for this architecture
fedpkg mockbuild
# check that the changes you made are correct for all architectures
rmpbuild -bs foo.spec
koji build --scratch rawhide foo.srpm
# upload the new sources
fedpkg new-sources foo-0.0.2.tar.bz2
# double check our changes
fedpkg diff
# commit and push your changes
fedpkg commit -m "Update to 0.0.2" -p

It's a wiki... and as Fedora contributor, you are trusted enough:
