# For installation and configuration instruction on Fedora-based systems,
# consult https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Install_and_configure_autotest

# For creating your own package, follow these instructions:

1) Decide what autotest version/branch/commit you want to package. The following assumes you want to package the next tree, at commit 0c2ab5b5306f6ccf5b47ff8b989faa2ad412c3d6. This also assumes you building packages for the fedora-19-x86_64 target.

2) Modify the specfile and update the commit accordingly.

3) Write down the "shortcommit" also, it's just the first 7 characters of the commit hash.

4) Get a tarball out of the autotest tree. This is usually a matter of running something like:

  $ git archive next --prefix autotest-0.15.1.next.git0c2ab5b/ -o /tmp/autotest-src/autotest-0.15.1.next.git0c2ab5b.tar.gz

Please pay attention to the prefix appended to the archive and the output in a separate, empty directory.

5) Create a SRPM out of the SPEC file and tarball by running something like:

  $ mock --buildsrpm --spec autotest-framework.spec --sources=/tmp/autotest-src

6) Now save your SRPM to another location, or else, it'll be overwritten by the next mock run:

  $ cp /var/lib/mock/fedora-19-x86_64/result/autotest-framework-0.15.1.next.git0c2ab5b-1.fc19.src.rpm /tmp/

7) Now build the "binary" RPMS out of the SRPM:

  $ mock --rebuild /tmp/autotest-framework-0.15.1.next.git0c2ab5b-1.fc19.src.rpm

8) Enjoy! The RPMS should be located at: /var/lib/mock/fedora-19-x86_64/result
