Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'simp-release-tools'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install simp-release-tools

OS Prerequisites

The package changelog command relies on the command-line executable rpmdev-vercmp. On EL/Fedora systems, this is provided by the rpmdevtools package. To install these tools:

# From EL6/EL7
sudo yum install -y rpmdevtools

# From Fedora
sudo dnf install -y rpmdevtools

Usage

package

The simp-release package COMMAND commands can help generate the RPM Updates section of the simp-core CHANGELOG.rst.

1. Mount the ISO of the previous SIMP release and record its contents: simp-release package record simp-core/SIMP_ISO_STAGING/CentOS6.8-x86_64/

2. Just after building the your latest release Candidate, run simp-release package record PATH/TO/SIMP_ISO_STAGING/OS_DIRECTORY/

3. Generate the

package record

Recording an RPM manifest after building an ISO from simp-core:

simp-release package record simp-core/SIMP_ISO_STAGING/CentOS6.8-x86_64/

Recording RPM manifest from a mounted ISO

simp-release package record /var/run/media/username/SIMP-4.2.0-2/

package changelog

Generating a changelog RPM Updates table using two recorded RPM manifests:

simp-release package changelog -S -f out-5.1.X.rst \
   ISO_RPMs_VDD_for_SIMP-5.1.0-3.yaml ISO_RPMs_VDD_for_SIMP-5.1.0-4.Alpha_20160902-1230.yaml

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake rspec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
