Overview

Overview#

This page describes the process to release JSS on Fedora.

Authentication#

Obtain a Kerberos ticket for FEDORAPROJECT.ORG account and COPR authentication token.

Getting Source Package#

The repository for JSS source package for Fedora is located at https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/jss. To clone the repository locally:

$ fedpkg clone jss
$ cd jss

The repository can be forked for development. To add the fork into the local repository:

$ git remote add ``\ `` ``\ ```ssh:// <ssh://>`__@pkgs.fedoraproject.org/forks//rpms/jss.git
``$ git fetch ``

Updating Version and Release Numbers#

Follow this guideline to update the version number, release number, and phase in the spec template:

  • version: ..

  • release: 0.1, 0.2, …, 1, 2, …

  • phase: a1, a2, …, b1, b2, …

For pre-releases, set the version number to ..0, set the release number to 0., and phase to -:

Version:        4.5.0
Release:        0.1%{?_timestamp}%{?_commit_id}%{?dist}
%global         _phase -a1

For initial release, keep the version number as ..0, set the release number to 1, and comment out the phase:

Version:        4.5.0
Release:        1%{?_timestamp}%{?_commit_id}%{?dist}
# %global       _phase -a1

For upstream updates (i.e. upstream bug fixes), increment the in the version number, set the release number to 1:

Version:        4.5.1
Release:        1%{?_timestamp}%{?_commit_id}%{?dist}
# %global       _phase -a1

For downstream patches (e.g. platform-specific patches), keep the version number as .., increment the release number:

Version:        4.5.1
Release:        2%{?_timestamp}%{?_commit_id}%{?dist}
# %global       _phase -a1

Merging Spec Changes#

To merge the spec template with the actual spec files:

$ meld ``\ ``jss/jss.spec ``\ ``Fedora/jss``/jss.spec ``

In the actual spec files, add a change log entry for the new release in downstream spec file (unless there is one already that has not been released):

* Tue May 29 2018 Dogtag PKI Team <pki-devel@redhat.com> - 4.4.4-1
- Rebased to JSS 4.4.4

Notes:

  • Do not override changes that were done downstream unless they were done improperly.

  • Do not add a change log entry in the upstream spec template.

  • There might be changes that cannot be merged. This is OK.

Commit Upstream Changes#

Commit all changes to upstream:

$ git commit -a -m "Updated version number to x.y.z-r"

Create a local tag with the following commands:

$ git tag v4.4.4

For pre-releases, append the phase name to the version number, e.g. v4.4.0-a1.

Update Source Tarball#

Generate a tarball with the following commands:

$ cd ``\ ``jss
$ ./build.sh --source-tag=v4.5.0 src

Import the source tarball with the following commands:

$ cd ``\ ``Fedora/jss
$ fedpkg new-sources ~/build/jss/SOURCES/jss-4.5.0.tar.gz

Then verify with the following commands:

$ fedpkg local
$ fedpkg lint

Creating Test Build#

Create a COPR build with the following command:

$ cd ``\ ``Fedora/jss
$ fedpkg copr-build @pki/10.6 --nowait

or create a scratch build with the following commands:

$ fedpkg srpm
$ fedpkg scratch-build --nowait --srpm jss-4.4.5-1.fc28.src.rpm

Once the test build is complete, push the changes and tag upstream:

$ cd ``\ ``jss
$ git push origin master
$ git push origin v4.4.4

Commit Source Package Changes#

Commit the changes to master (i.e. rawhide):

$ cd ``\ ``Fedora/jss
$ git commit -m "Rebased to JSS 4.4.4"
$ git push origin master

Creating Koji Build for Rawhide#

Create a Koji build:

$ fedpkg build --nowait

If necessary, the task can be monitored with the following command:

``$ koji watch-task ``

Once the build is complete, tag the source package repository:

$ git tag jss-4.4.4-1.fc29
$ git push origin jss-4.4.4-1.fc29

Creating Koji Build for Current Fedora#

Cherry pick the changes from master into the current Fedora (e.g. f28):

``$ git checkout ``
``$ git cherry-pick ``
``$ git push origin ``

Then create a Koji build:

$ fedpkg build --nowait

If necessary, the task can be monitored with the following command:

``$ koji watch-task ``

Tag package repository:

$ git tag jss-4.4.4-1.fc28
$ git push origin jss-4.4.4-1.fc28

Creating Bodhi Update for Current Fedora#

Once the Koji build is complete, submit a Bodhi update:

$ bodhi updates new \
`` –request=testing ``
`` –notes=”Update to JSS 4.4.4-1” ``
`` –type=enhancement jss-4.4.4-1.fc28``

The update will appear here.

Creating GitHub Release#

Go to dogtagpki/jss and edit the release.
