Hi Joe,

I would also like to see some good tool for auto-updates especially connected 
with auto-rebuilds. I already made a commitment to myself that I will try to 
implement something a while ago. I will most likely try to go with polisher[1] 
and build on top of it since a lot of stuff like infrastructure tools 
integration are already implemented there. But this is definitely a long run. 
Most of our updates and rebuilds in Fedora requires really a lot of manual 
work. I probably don't see any issues with gem2rpm handling some sort of 
updates although you are probably aiming on simple things that can be achieved 
by a short bash/ruby script. But that being said I will definitely try out 
anything you come up with.

Regards
Josef

Subject: gem2rpm and upgrades of existing rpms

Hi all,

Does anyone use gem2rpm to upgrade an existing rpm to new versions of upstream 
gems?

I'm contemplating working on a pull request to make gem2rpm aware of an 
existing .spec file and only update specific sections such as: version, 
requires, buildrequires, and adding a changelog.  As it is now, it overwrites 
the existing rpm spec, removing any changelog entries, etc.

Is this a good idea?  What do others do to regenerate the updated version, 
requires/buildrequires to avoid human error?

Thanks,
