Re: Query on upgrading the Fedora package

I don't know what part of the procedure you're unclear about, so here's a
summary of the entire process from start to finish.

Get the package sources:

fedpkg clone fctxpd
cd fctxpd

Now download the new upstream code.
Optionally verify the package was downloaded correctly by checking a SHA
or other hash.

Open the fctxpd.spec file in your preferred editor. Update the various
versions (commit, snapshotdate etc.) and add a new entry to the %changelog
section. Save the file.

Create a SRPM from the changed (but not committed spec file):

Oops, this was meant to say:

Create a SRPM from the changed (but not committed) spec file:

fedpkg srpm

Run a scratch build in the koji build system:

fedpkg scratch-build --srpm $(fedpkg verrel).src.rpm

Wait for the results, check them, fix any problems.

Once you have a working package, commit your changes to the spec file:

fedpkg new-sources NEW-UPSTREAM-TARBALL.tar.gz fedpkg commit -c

And your mail software seems to have lost a newline between these two
commands:

fedpkg new-sources NEW-UPSTREAM-TARBALL.tar.gz

fedpkg commit -c




And publish them:

fedpkg push

And do the real build:

fedpkg build


I should also say that these steps are not the _only_ way to do it
(they're not even the way I would do it most of the time). But they
should be a simple-to-follow sequence that is relatively hard to screw
up.

Use 'man fedpkg' to find out more about each step, and see these links
for additonal background information:
