sync_ff

Program to sync an OBS repo with the github-repo

This will delete all *.patch-files in the github-repo and copy over the new ones (in order to notice deleted patches). It will also copy all relevant Firefox-files to github-repo/Firefox/ (excluding tarballs, scripts and the like)

Usage

1. Put or better yet link sync_ff in a directory in your $PATH
2. Go into your OBS-repo you want to sync
3. Specify github-repo path (your local checkout)
   1. Either by giving it directly: sync_ff /your/path/here
   2. By hardcoding it into sync_ff (DEFAULT_FF_SYNC_TARGET)
   3. By giving it via env-variable: FF_SYNC_TARGET=/tmp sync_ff
   4. By giving it via env-variable from your .bashrc

spec_patch_series

Program to import all patchfiles into an hg-repo from a given rpm-spec file.

Usage

1. Go to your hg repo
2. run script with the associated spec-file
3. Apply the patches in the patch-queue

get_mozconfig_from_spec

If one wants to build FF or TB without OBS, one needs a mozconfig. This file is generated in the spec-file. This script, utilizing the rpm build-option --with only_print_mozconfig prints the mozconfig for a given spec-file and suse-version.

Usage

1. Find out which %suse_version you need (e.g. 1510)
2. Optional: Find out which arch you want (otherwise local arch is used, e.g. s390x)
3. Optional: Find out additional rpmbuild-commands you may need/want
4. Call get_mozconfig_from_spec $SPECFILE $SUSE_VERSION [--target=$ARCH]

chr
