What’s new in fedpkg 1.44
Set default_branch_merge to ‘rawhide’
In Fedora, the principle is to perform all modifications in ‘Rawhide’ first. Thus, it makes sense to assume that any work that happens outside of an established dist-git repository is targeting Rawhide. Previously, the user had to manually specify --release rawhide on every invocation.
Define ‘default_branch_merge()’ to return ‘rawhide’, so that ‘rawhide’ is the default release when there is no Git repository.
New command disable-monitoring
After the repository is retired, its monitoring needs to be disabled [1]. The project after its retirement might still be marked as active in the PDC. Therefore after successful retire operation, a REST API request is automatically sent to disable such monitoring.
Operation can be triggered even manually:
fedpkg [--path <path_to_the_repo>] disable-monitoring
To send the request, a user needs the proper dist-git token set in the fedpkg’s configuration. Instruction on how to do that can be seen in the command’s help:
fedpkg disable-monitoring -h|--help
Add Jenkinsfile for CI
Current nodes of [2] are running in legacy mode and will be removed. We need to update related jobs to use new infra. See [3] and [4] for more info.
fedpkg update: can handle $EDITOR with arguments
Process the $EDITOR environment value first - it can (again) contain additional arguments. For example ‘EDITOR=emacs -nw’.
