centpkg-sclo

Wrapper script around centpkg and cbs utility, that is especially designed for working with packages and repos in SCLo SIG group.

Currently, since there is no dist-git and look-aside cache working in CentOS for SIG groups, this tool uses repositories on Github space at https://github.com/sclorg-distgit and look-aside cache from Fedora. As the build system, CentOS Build System (CBS, at cbs.centos.org us used.

Install instructions

This tool is build as RPM in Copr at https://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/hhorak/centpkg-sclo/.

Install instructions for Fedora 23

sudo dnf copr enable hhorak/centpkg-sclo
sudo dnf copr enable bstinson/centos-packager
sudo yum install centpkg-sclo

Or alternatively, if you don't use dnf copr plugin:

sudo curl https://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/hhorak/centpkg-sclo/repo/fedora-23/hhorak-centpkg-sclo-fedora-23.repo >/etc/yum.repos.d/centos-sclo.repo
sudo curl https://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/bstinson/centos-packager/repo/fedora-23/bstinson-centos-packager-fedora-23.repo >/etc/yum.repos.d/centos-packager.repo
sudo yum install centpkg-sclo

Install instructions for EPEL 7

sudo curl https://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/hhorak/centpkg-sclo/repo/epel-7/hhorak-centpkg-sclo-epel-7.repo >/etc/yum.repos.d/centos-sclo.repo
sudo curl https://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/bstinson/centos-packager/repo/epel-7/bstinson-centos-packager-epel-7.repo >/etc/yum.repos.d/centos-packager.repo
sudo yum install centpkg-sclo

Usage instructions

API of centpkg-sclo was deliberately designed to be the same as we know it from fedpkg or what will eventually be in centpkg.

That said, all actions, except 'create-branch', work the same as we know it from 'fedpkg'.

Action 'create-branch' creates a new branch in current repository. For creating entirely new repository, go to https://github.com/sclorg-distgit.

Example of whole workflow when building a new package

# 1. Create a repository in GUI at https://github.com/sclorg-distgit, e.g. mariadb

# 2. Clone the repository locally and enther the directory
$> centpkg-sclo clone mariadb
$> cd mariadb

# 3. Create a new branch according the scheme documented in https://wiki.centos.org/BrianStinson/GitBranchesandKojiTags
# For CentOS 7 and rh-mariadb101 SCL it will be 'sig-sclo7-rh-mariadb101-rh'
$> centpkg-sclo create-branch rh-mariadb101 7

# 4. (optionally) Switch to particular branch
$> centpkg-sclo switch-branch sig-sclo6-rh-mariadb101-rh

# 5. Import the srpm package
$> centpkg-sclo import rh-mariadb101-mariadb-10.1.10-1.el7.src.rpm

# 6. Commit the changes
$> git commit -am "Initial commit"

# 7. Push the changes
$> git push

# 8. (optionally) Build package locally
$> centpkg-sclo local

# 9. (optionally) Build testing package in CBS
$> centpkd-sclo scratch-build

# 10. (optionally) Create SRPM that may be submitted to CBS manually using `cbs` utility
$> centpkg-sclo srpm

# 11. Finally, build regular package in CBS
$> centpkg-sclo build
