Hi, a small summary about Rebase-helper project.
The purposeoftherebase-helper is to save developer'stime during package rebases. Rebase-helper is intended to be run in the cloned (Fedora) package repo and needs only the path to the archive (tarball) withnew upstream sources. The rest is automated. If any decision is needed, the developer is prompted.
The current workflow is as follows: * Downloadarchive with the current (old)and new sources * For all existing patches applythem, one at a time, to new sourcesand help with rebasing patches if needed (using tool like 'meld') * Build packages (old and new) automatically. * In the future we will perform various checks (rpmdiff, API/ABI check, etc.) and add them to Upstream Monitoring in Fedora GitHub repository is: https://github.com/phracek/rebase-helper If you would like to try rebase-helper then only clone the github repository or install rebase-helper package which is already available in Fedora 20. And try: *rebase-helper <upstream-sources>*** If you discover any issues,feel free to add anewissue ongithub https://github.com/phracek/rebase-helper/issues?state=open and we will work on fixingthem based on their severity. What will be another steps? * Add support for rpmdiff * Add support for API/ABI check * Add support formore patching mechanisms - like git patch alghorithm (mentioned by Kamil Dudka) * Upstream Monitoring in Fedora * you name it... ;) Any feedbackandcomments are welcome either on IRC: #rebase-helper or to us.
