rpmautospec - how to add suffix to the current release and don't bump it right now

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

 



Hi all,

I would like to ask a question about whether the workflow below, which I use frequently, can be used in packages which uses rpmautospec. I hit this when I was doing a testing scratch build of another package which already switched to rpmautospec and since rpmautospec is now proposed to be default for new packages, I would like to know whether, and if so, how my workflow can be applied with rpmautospec.

My workflow:

If I have a fix which I want to send to user to verify in its environment, I do a testing build, which has the same release as the current stable package (f.e. 1.fc37), but I add additional suffix to set the testing build to higher NVR than the package in the stable (f.e. 1.fc37.test.1). Then the user can just install the testing packages via DNF, accepting koji links to RPMs, and once an official fixed package arrives (with bumped NVR - 2.fc37), the official stable package replaces the testing one, ensuring the user has the supported rpms.

Is this doable with rpmautospec and if it is, how?

Thank you in advance!


Zdenek
