It's been a while since I last updated folks on dist-git, and in reality it's been a while since I last worked on it. Fedora 13 took up all my time.
Since my last update we've made great progress on fedpkg, the new tool that will replace the make system. It is packaged up with fedora-packager and has the ability to do many tasks that our Make system handled. Here is a quick list: build chainbuild clean clog clone compile gimmespec install lint local mockbuild new new_sources prep scratchbuild sources srpm unusedpatches verrel Many of these targets take optional arguments which extend their functionality and replace some other specific Make targets. This list is enough to get us checking code out and in, and building in koji. On the koji front we've recently discovered the changes necessary to build from dist-git style repos, and those changes are being polished up and committed upstream. We have done multiple builds successfully from dist-git repos. Where do we go from here? We're ready for more wide scale testing, and to facilitate that I am refreshing the git repos from current CVS (people with existing clones will have to blow them away and re-clone), and getting a koji stage instance up that we can build against (with limited builders). We'll then push out another fedora-packager update that has the right URLs to build against this stage Koji and announce that it is ready for building. Based on this testing, and some decisions around git tagging and branch usage, we stand a good chance at being able to roll this out prior to the F14 branch event. I hope you are all as excited as I am about this! -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- Freedom² is a feature! identi.ca: http://identi.ca/jkeating
