Before any such ideas continue, I think rpmautospec should have
more decent documentation. Unfortunately it does not have even
manual page for rpmautospec command, core of its functionality. I
find that missing.
While I think rpmautospec is great idea, I do not think it is ready universally.
Correct me if I am wrong, but I think there is no way to make rightmost bump as done by rpmdev-bumpspec -r. We use it a lot for RHEL minor version updates. But there does not seem to be a way to mark some commit, after which only rightmost bumps should occur. While I have intentionaly converted many my packages, I am keeping some more complicated intentionally the old way. Especially because it allows me to rebuild those packages for CentOS/RHEL and compare their functionality.
Is there full support for rpmautospec in COPR for example? I
don't know. I have not seen it mentioned in docs. It seems too
early for any MUST related with this.
I think this still be SHOULD. AFAIK rpmfusion does not work with rpmautospec and other distributions may not as well. Forcing this to everyone does not seem reasonable to me, although I would recommend it everywhere where possible.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
No, please don't. provenpackagers should not make significant changes to packages without communication with their maintainers. rpmautospec conversion requires change of workflow and should never be done without maintainer agreement. PR are okay, but not direct commits.- 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. (FTR, 'rpmautospec convert' does the conversion, incl. the commit to dist-git. Manual conversion should not be used.) Zbyszek
This again should be documented in installed package. Sadly it does not contain even README doc file with very basic information. Or it does in python3-rpmautospec, which is where I doubt those information is usually expected.
I think easy to find documentation with skip changelog [1] instructions should be easy to find on the installed system. I do not think it is.
