grafana

The grafana package

Upgrade instructions

• update Version, Release, %changelog and tarball NVRs in the specfile
• create bundles and manifest: make clean all
• update specfile with contents of the .manifest file
• check if the default configuration has changed: diff grafana-X.Y.Z/conf/defaults.ini distro-defaults.ini and update distro-defaults.ini if necessary
• update the manpages patch in 002-manpages.patch and other patches if required
• run local build: rpkg local
• run rpm linter: rpkg lint -r grafana.rpmlintrc
• run local builds with different OS versions: ./run_container_build.sh fedora-version
• run a scratch build: fedpkg scratch-build --srpm
• upload new source tarballs: fedpkg new-sources *.tar.gz *.tar.xz
• commit new sources file

Backporting

• create the patch
• declare and apply (%prep) the patch in the specfile
• if the patch affects Go or Node.js dependencies, or the webpack
• create new tarballs
• update the specfile with new tarball path and contents of the .manifest file

Note: the Makefile automatically applies patches before creating the tarballs

Patches

• *.patch: regular patches applied to the source, applied in the Makefile before vendoring and in the specfile (e.g. updating dependencies)
• *.vendor.patch: patches applied to the vendor tarball (e.g. patching vendored sources before generating a webpack)
• *.cond.patch: conditionally applied patches in the specfile
