Proposed Fedora packaging guideline: Forge-hosted projects packaging automation

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

I am proposing for inclusion a macro set aimed at automating the packaging of forge-hosted projects.

— Packaging draft: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Forge-hosted_projects_packaging_automation
— FPC ticket: https://pagure.io/packaging-committee/issue/719 (without the “hasdraft” tag because I don't know how to add it in pagure)
— fedora-rpm-macros RFE with the macro file: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1523779

What it does: conversion of a forge url, version, tag, commit set to the values expected in rpm specfiles, in optional rpm variables. Computation of the corresponding %{dist}.

Objective: centralize forge structure know-how in a single technical place, deprecate all the complex manual forge URL handling spread over many Fedora spec files, simplify packaging and spend time on more interesting stuff.

What's currently implemented: definitions for github.com and code.googlesource.com
(I didn't want to propose stuff I didn't use myself. Adding more definitions is trivial. The macros are in Lua which is change-friendly, no arcane rpm syntax knowledge is needed).

Please consult packaging draft for full information.

This is a spin-off of the work I'm currently doing on Go packaging, as Go is heavily forge-oriented. I took the time to extract the generic non-Go-specific forge knowledge in a separate macro file. The macros have been heavily tested on real-life Go projects with quite a lot of variance, on EL7 and rawhide. That's why they come with built-in error handling.

Regards,
