The master branch is where development takes place: - it may contain kickstart files that are broken, or - spin concepts that are in the process of being approved by the Board (trademark approval), or - spin concepts that are in the process of being approved by the Spins SIG The release specific branches contain spin concepts that: - are approved (both by Board and Spin SIG) - maintained for the remainder of the release cycle When kickstart files are added or removed, Makefile.am should be updated to reflect the change. To rebuild the srpm for a new version or a new release without patches: git clone ssh://git.fedorahosted.org/git/spin-kickstarts.git spin-kickstarts cd spin-kickstarts # If you need a specific branch other than master: git checkout BRANCHNAME # Edit configure.ac to update the version or release # Edit spin-kickstarts.spec.in to update the change log aclocal automake autoconf make dist install -D spin-kickstarts-*.tar.gz ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES # Edit spin-kickstarts.spec if some changelog history needs to be included install -D spin-kickstarts.spec ~/rpmbuild/SPECS rpmbuild -ba ~/rpmbuild/SPECS # If the sprm gets published then publish the tar.gz file on fedorahosted scp spin-kickstarts-*.tar.gz fedorahosted.org:spin-kickstarts # Clean up the generated files: git clean
