Script to update release and changelog?

[Orion Poplawski]

Is there a script posted somewhere for automatically bumping the release
and adding a line to %changelog?  Perhaps we could get integrated into
Makefile.common?

make bumprel COMMENT="Rebuild for gcc 4.3"

I use these two:

  http://mschwendt.fedorapeople.org/bumpspecfile.py 
  http://mschwendt.fedorapeople.org/rebuildrpms.py 

The first one only modifies given spec files and adds a changelog entry.
The second one can be used to fully automate bump'n'rebuilds like

  rebuildrpms.py foo bar more-rpm-names-here

Both still need configuration of constants at the top. They have been
used before to mass-rebuild FE (that's why bumpspecfile.py is different
from the original that's floating around).

Adding that line by hand is surely trivial, and a %changelog that just
records automatically generated (probably trivial) events isn't any real
use IMHO. Perhaps make rpmlint complain if there is no entry for the
version at hand?

That's neat. Could this functionality be integrated with the common make 
files?

It already does, with no-version-in-last-changelog or 
incoherent-version-in-changelog depending on the case.

For some reason unknown to me it did not do those checks for source rpms, but 
I've just changed that in upstream svn.

Here's a simpler one that additionally adds a version to the changelog entry, 
but "suffers" from a dependency on Emacs:

http://scop.fedorapeople.org/scripts/bumpspec.sh

It increases 0.1%{?dist} to 1.1%{?dist} whereas the less simple script
bumps it to 0.2%{?dist} as it ought to be. ;o)

Yes, that's documented in the script's "caveats" section.

(And BTW, that's a limitation of rpm-spec-mode.el, not the script ;))

Heh, I just couldn't live with that, it's fixed now in rpm-spec-mode.el 
0.12.1x in XEmacs CVS.  RFE asking for it to be included in F9 emacs is 
#432209

For that, a few things aren't ready:

 * Which email address to use? Grab one from ~/.koji/client.crt as
   a default?

 * Override default config values with ENV variables as in above
   example.

 * Improve bumpspecfile.py so it doesn't alter whitespace in "Release"
   tag.

 * Improve bumpspecfile.py so it adds EVR-without-%{?dist} to
   changelog entry. (Redundant for the most recent package release,
   but some people want it nevertheless.)

It could as well be included with "rpmdevtools" after deciding on
whether to use a configuration file and/or a set of options.

Further, rel-eng uses some scripts for automated rebuilds, too.
Where are those?

bumpspecfile.py now retains whitespace around the release value.

Maybe you should put you script there as well, as yours seem to be a
updated version with more features?

Just my 2 cent.

Hey, didn't know an older version was imported there.

I've committed it with a few more changes. EVR is added to the
changelog entries now, too. :)
