fedpkg 1.35 Release Notes

Released on August 21, 2018

This release requires rpkg >= 1.56.

Python compatibility

fedpkg works with Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.6 and 3.7.

What’s new in fedpkg 1.35

Submit builds from stream branch

fedpkg is able to submit multiple builds from a stream branch, if a config file package.cfg is created in a stream branch. This file is an INI file, and currently has one configuration section named koji, for example:

[koji]
targets = f28 epel7

which means when packager runs command build, builds will be submitted and built for release f28 and epel7.

This file could be created for each stream branch and give specific configuration for a branch.

Refer to fedpkg build -h for more details.

New command releases-info

releases-info is helpful for packagers to know current active Fedora or EPEL rleases, or both. For example to show active Fedora releases:

fedpkg releases-info --fedora

This command could run anywhere from local system. It’s not necessary inside a package repository.

Enable Greenwave policy validation

rpkg-1.56 supports to validate Greenwave policy for build RPM packages and containers. This fedpkg version enables it.

Allow to create Bodhi update with command line options

update command now has a set of options that allow package maintainers to create Bodhi update from command line directly without entering the template editor to editor update details.

For example to create a bugfix update:

fedpkg update --type bugfix --notes "Fix bug xxx"

You could also pass multiple lines of notes to --notes.

Please note that, most of command line arguments have default value that is same as the one in the template. If --type or --notes is omitted, template editor is still displayed to let packagers confirm and edit update details before proceeding creation.

Warning

Behavior to abort update creation process is changed. Originally, nothing changed in template editor will stop proceeding creation. Since this new version, you could terminate creation process by two ways, one is to commented out all lines, and another one is just remove all lines.

Do not delete bodhi.template if fail to create update

There could be some reasons that causes update creation fails. Once it happens, bodhi.template.last is saved and includes what you entered via command line arguments or edited in template editor. This behavior gives packagers opportunity to get data back and save work effort for next try.
