Hi everyone,
I'm revisting the topic of rpmautospec because I was doing some work
on various packages, and it's annoying that some packages are using
rpmautospec and others are not.
All my packages have been converted, so in day-to-day work, I don't
even think about %changelog. When working with other packages, I'll
forget to update the Relase and/or %changelog. Today I was rebasing
some pull requests in pagure, and the _only_ conflicts that I had were
about Release and %changelog.
I think it's time to switch to rpmautospec completely.
Thus, the proposal:
- new packages MUST use rpmautospec
- packagers SHOULD convert their packages
- provenpackagers MAY convert existing packages
(e.g. when they want to push some fix or separately from other
work)
- people submitting pull requests against src.fp.o MAY also
include a conversion in the pull request and packagers SHOULD
merge it.
I have some packages where the tooling isn't ready yet for %autorelease, so I
put them on hold.
I also have some packages with pre-release info still in the Release filed and
moving it to Version with ~ (to use %autorelease) would make the package
downgrade, so I am waiting for a next upstream release to do that.
I think it's to early to force this.
(FTR, 'rpmautospec convert' does the conversion, incl. the commit
to dist-git. Manual conversion should not be used.)
Note that it produces incorrect results if the Release value is not numerical
(or if it is a greater number than count of the commits since last bump). It
will happily convert release 0.1 to 3, 29.20130501hg26242d0aa7b8 to 30 or even
release 500 to 10.
I converted all of my packages with it and in some cases I had to manually fix
the results.
