Updating the frysk rpm in Fedora (by Sami)

Before doing this make sure you have a fedora account and that your

environment has been set up by following the instructions described

here:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/Join

- Check out frysk cvs modules (You probably already did this if you

  have followed the instructions above) But anyhow follow how to set

  up fedora cvs.

- If a tarball has not already been created, follow the instructions

  on the release page:

      http://sourceware.org/frysk/releases/

- Move the created tarball into the frysk cvs directory for distro you

  want to update; for example, for f8 move the tarball to frysk/F-8

- Run make new-sources FILES=frysk-0.4.tar.bz2

  This will upload the tarball to koji so you dont need to upload this

  tarball again.

  It will also update the sources file to point to the newly uploaded

  tarball.

- Edit spec file updating:

  * version

  * release

  * Changelog

  * dependencie's versions

  * etc 

- Clean up patches which have been pushed upstream

  * Remove the patch from cvs

  * delete the patch from the spec file 

- Do a local build with

     make local

  (fix build problems)

- cvs remove/add files then build/commit:

     make clog

     cvs commit

     make tag

     make build

  This should kick off the koji build always make sure that devel is

  newer or as new as the other releases.

  You can now go to the koji webpage to watch the build at:

      http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/

  also koji will output the specific url to command line you can view

  the output through the web page or using:

      koji watch-logs <ID>

- When the build is done you will be notified

  If the build fails fix it, create a patch and try again other wise

  you are done and must now create an update using the rpm you have

  built.

- Go to:

      https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/frysk

  Click on 'New Update' and push the rpm to the appropriate

  distros(f7,f8)/repos(stable/testing).

Comments welcome
