Call for testing: rpmautospec 0.2.6 in staging

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

 



Hello everybody,

it's been almost a year that rpmautospec was released in production on
Koji builders and its about time for an update. Last week I released
version 0.2.6 as a Fedora package and deployed it to Koji in staging
infra for testing meanwhile.

So, if you use rpmautospec in your package, please test this new
release extensively before we put it into production, using the staging
package repositories and `fedpkg-stage`. I want to catch any
regressions that this new release might have introduced – some of the
changes required substantial refactoring of how changelogs are
generated, and while everything held up well in my own tests, I'll feel
safer deploying into production if a couple more people put this to the
test with their own packages. Thanks!

Here are the highlights of this new release, I'll link the
corresponding tickets because they contain much detail that doesn't fit
into this mail.

* Affecting Koji builds
   
   * Enable longer changelog entries.

   Previously, only the subject line of a git commit log was used for the
   RPM changelog as one bullet point. Now you can continue this bullet
   point in the body by starting it with an ellipsis ("…", "...") and/or
   add more bullet points simply by prefixing them with a dash.
   
   E.g. this git commit log …:
   
      --- 8< ---
      This is a pretty detailed entry, therefore it
      
      ... won't fit into the 50 characters of a commit subject.
      - And here's another bullet point.
      
      Some details that will be ignored.
      
      Signed-off-by: Nils Philippsen <nils@xxxxxxxxxx>
      --- >8 ---
   
   … would become this RPM changelog:
   
      --- 8< ---
      * Fri May 13 2022 Nils Philippsen <nils@xxxxxxxxxx>
      - This is a pretty detailed entry, therefore it won't fit into the 50
        characters of a commit subject.
      - And here's another bullet point.
      --- >8 ---
      
   This can be tested by building a package with such normally using the
   `fedpk
      
   * Handle removed changelog file better (e.g. when bringing a package
   back from retirement).
   https://pagure.io/fedora-infra/rpmautospec/issue/210
   
   * Don’t trip over gaps in epoch-versions (e.g. if the spec file is
   missing or can’t be parsed).
   https://pagure.io/fedora-infra/rpmautospec/issue/237

* Relevant for local use (i.e. doesn't need deployment into production,
only the 0.2.6 version installed locally)

   * Add rpmautospec convert command which converts a package repository
   to using %autorelease and %autochangelog (thanks to Elliott Sales de
   Andrade).
   https://pagure.io/fedora-infra/rpmautospec/issue/201
   
   * Don't use localized dates in changelog entries.
   https://pagure.io/fedora-infra/rpmautospec/issue/104
   
   * Cope better with spec files outside of git repositories.
   https://pagure.io/fedora-infra/rpmautospec/issue/214

Cheers,
Nils
