Hi Roland,
As you saw it all went perfectly, just a few comments in case
someone else does it next time (or just as documentation for
myself).

Make sure you update the configure.ac version and copyright year.
Double check the email address put in elfutils.spec.in, the Makefile
logic is a little too simplistic but changing it more intelligently
is more work than just checking the diff generated afterwards.

I added them this time.

Then merge master into the portable and robustify branches one last time.

You update the patches by removing them and typing
make elfutils-portability.patch elfutils-robustify.patch
Don't forget to update the Makefile elfutils.git ?= rule
if you have the local git checkout somewhere else.
And don't forget to strip out old patches that have been incorporated
in the new release. Forgot that myself at first. Causing some confusion.

That worked fine.

BTW. There is now a #elfutil channel on freenode.

fedpkg new-sources elfutils-0.153.tar.bz2
git commit -a -m "Update to 0.153"
fedpkg local [If you want to check things out locally first]
fedpkg build [To trigger a koji build]
(git checkout f<old>; git merge master; etc. as appropriate)
(Have to use fedpkg update on anything not rawhide to trigger bodhi)
Note, f17 didn't yet get the fixed binutils, it is still in
some update bodhi cycle, so the build there failed, will resubmit
when binutils in f17 gets through.
Afterwards I saw that with a newer autotools you will get warnings
in the portable configure.ac for not using AC_LANG_SOURCE inside
AC_COMPILE_IFELSE. Fixed that on the branch.
Also rpmlint caused errors for the outdated COPYING file (which
contains a bad address). I updated it with a fresh one from gnulib.
Cheers,
Mark
