Hi,
As this is the first time we do that in this configuration I'd like to
suggest a certain approach.
1) Do not migrate more than 20 packages at once ( svn cp )
2) Make things in small steps
a) copy package A
b) bump release and get a successful build done for package A
c) test new package briefly and confirm functionality
d) update package to latest stable version and get a successful build done
e) update dependencies of this package A if necessary
3) move to package B
If you hit problems with a package that is not in your maintainership
contact the maintainer or the mailing list and give 24 hours time to
respond before proceeding.
Packages that do not have a current maintainer need to get the vacant tag.
Some suggestions how to do things in detail. We have some useful
helpers in our svn tree to make things a bit easier:
1) svn-cp-tree.sh , copies a whole bunch of projects into --targetdir
it supports --dry-run to test the command
When used it copies the mentioned projects and performs a svn ci -m
'commitonly' of all packages that are successfully copied.
Here an example :
~/versioncontrol/svn/yoper/projects/errata/svn-cp-tree.sh
--targetdir=../../3.1/rocketfuel/ aMule abiword acpid add airsnort
alien alltray alsa-utils amsn appres apt4rpm aquamarine arping ash
aspell at-spi atftp athcool aufs autoconf261 automake110 automake16
autotrace
Just simply note the revision number somewhere and you can always look
back via svn log -v -rREVNO to see which packages you copied :) .
2) bump-buildreq.sh
Use this to bump the release of packages that depend on a certain
package. For example if you'd like to bump all packages in
3.1/rocketfuel that are build against sqlite execute :
~/versioncontrol/svn/yoper/projects/errata/bump-buildreq.sh sqlite-devel
This will bump the release of those packages by 1 and generate a svn
command that you can simply copy and paste.
it supports --dry-run to test the command
3) bump-release.sh
This script bumps projects that are appended to it as arguments.
it supports --dry-run to test the command
This allows you to selectively bump the release of some packages
Say you want to first see where sqlite-devel is included :
grep -l sqlite-devel */*.spec | awk -F '/' '{print $1}'
This will return you some project names where you might not want to
bump all packages but only a few.
That is where script (3) is useful simply run
bump-release.sh 'your list of projects to bump release'
I hope this helps a bit to decrease the workload and simplify the
task. More input welcome.
cheers
