Salome Fedora Packaging

Initial setup:

    git clone --recursive git@github.com:FedoraScientific/fedora-salome.git
    cd fedora-salome
    ./add-upstream-origins.sh

Layout:

• Each salome-<name> directory contains a spec file and a clone of the respective source tree.
• The clone of the source tree contains two branches, master and fedora. The fedora branch carries all the patches needed for the fedora package
• Each source tree clone has two remotes, master (the github repo) and upstream (the upstream repo at git.salome-platform.org)

Workflow:

• Building an existing module/plugin

  cd salome-<name>/<name>
  ../../salome_gensources.sh <tag>
  

  Tag is i.e. 7_5_0b1. This script will generate a tarball for the specified tag, rebase the commits in the fedora branch and generate the patches. Patches and tarball are created in the directory above the source tree.

• Updating a module/plugin

  cd salome-<name>/<name>
  git checkout master
  git fetch upstream
  git merge upstream/master
  git push
  git checkout fedora_<tag>
  git checkout -b fedora_<newtag>
  git rebase tags/V<newtag>
  git push -u origin fedora_<newtag>
  

  <tag> is the previous tag before <newtag>, i.e. 7_5_0b1 -> 7_5_0rc1.

• Adding a new module

  mkdir salome-<name>
  cd salome-<name>
  git clone http://git.salome-platform.org/gitpub/modules/<name>.git
  cd <name>
  
  # Create github repo on github.com called salome-<name>
  git remote rename origin upstream
  git remote add origin git@github.com:FedoraScientific/salome-<name>.git
  
  git checkout -b fedora_<tag> /V<tag>
  # Fedora specific patching
  
  git push -u origin master
  git push -u origin fedora_<tag>
  

• Adding a new plugin: similar as for module, but clone as

  git clone http://git.salome-platform.org/gitpub/plugins/<name>.git
  

  and use salome-<module>-plugin-<name> as github repo name.
