Dear diary, on Tue, May 03, 2005 at 11:32:16PM CEST, I got a letter
where Chris Wright <chrisw@osdl.org> told me that...

No, I definitively won't use that:

(i)  The created tarball is Evil. It does not contain everything in a
subdirectory.

(ii) I don't want to have yet another place which I'm supposed to keep
up to date with regard to what should be packaged. That's one of the
things the SCM is for, and it already records precisely this
information, so I'd actually use it. cg-export foo.tar.gz is the perfect
tool for this.

I wouldn't accept this neither. If git.spec is already version
controlled, it should be up-to-date in the version control. Therefore,
you need to update it at the time of release, not at the time of
generating the tarball.

*shrug*

Well, it's guaranteed to be one step out of sync, but I'll just keep
doing what I've been doing.  Build rpm after you release, and send
patch ex-post-facto.

thanks,

What I usually do is to have a *.spec.in file, and have my release 
script generate the *.spec file.  I usually have a "version" file 
checked into the SCM from which all version information derives, 
including what to put in the *.spec file as well as what to name the 
subdirectory.

The release script then ends up being some variant on:

#!/bin/sh -xe
PACKAGE=pkgname
VERSION=`cat version`
scm-of-choice tag --force $PACKAGE-$VERSION
mkdir /var/tmp/$PACKAGE-$VERSION
cd /var/tmp/$PACKAGE-$VERSION
scm-of-choice export -r $PACKAGE-$VERSION
make release
cd ..
tar cvvfz $PACKAGE-$VERSION.tar.gz $PACKAGE-$VERSION
rm -rf $PACKAGE-$VERSION

... where "make release" creates the specfile and anything else that 
needs to be created (like autoconf files.)

Yup, that's precisely what I was thinking.  I cobbled up an add-on to
Mark Allen's patch yesterday, but didn't send it since Pasky didn't seem
too interested in the idea.  Anyway, here it is to demonstrate the idea.
The current setup is definitely workable, just means each release tarball
will build a bogus package with rpmbuild -ta.  So I just fix up the spec
and then build...

thanks,
-chris

Autogen git.spec from git.spec.in.  Needs patch from Mark Allen.
