Updating the frysk rpm in Fedora

Before doing this make sure you have a fedora account and that your environment has been set up by following the instructions described here:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/Join

1. Check out frysk cvs modules (You probably already did this if you have followed the instructions above) But anyhow: Follow how to set up fedora cvs: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/Join#head-29b1437eeedc9e87ea0e5c92a9e52684876c30a3) then http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/Join#head-3de96e1e7f6c4c9197e8beb02a0b3d7a5eb9dada

2. If a tarball has not already been created, follow the instructions on the release page

   http://sourceware.org/frysk/releases/

3. Move the created tarball into the frysk cvs directory for distro you want to update
   • For example for f8 move the tarball to frysk/F-8
4. Run make new-sources FILES=frysk-0.0.1.2008.02.29.rh1.tar.bz2
   • This will upload the tarball to koji so you dont need to upload this tarball again.
   • It will also update the sources file to point to the newly uploaded tarball.
5. Edit spec file:
   • Update version - release - Changelog - Dependencies' versions etc
6. Clean up patches which have been pushed upstream
   • Remove the patch from cvs - delete the patch from the spec file
7. Run make local (fix build problems)
8. cvs remove/add files run make clog cvs commit using clog file as commit message
   • make tag
   • make build
   • This should kick off the koji build always make sure that devel is newer or as new as the other releases.

   • You can now go to the koji webpage to watch the build http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/ also koji will output the specific url to command line you can view the output through the web page or using koji watch-logs <ID>

9. When the build is done you will be notified
   • If the build fails fix it, create a patch and try again other wise you are done and must now create an update using the rpm you have built.

10. Go to https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/fryskClick on 'New Update' and push the rpm to the appropriate distros(f7,f8)/repos(stable/testing).

Comments welcome
