rpkg 1.59 Release Notes

Released on September 10, 2019

Python compatibility

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

What’s new in rpkg 1.59

Add commands for interacting with Koji side-tag plugin

Add commands for interacting with Koji side-tag plugin

There is a Koji plugin that can create, list and remove side-tags. This patch adds support for a commands to do that.

It is used like this:

$ rpkg request-side-tag [--base-tag=FOO]
$ rpkg list-side-tags [--mine|--user=LOGIN] [--base-tag=FOO]
$ rpkg remove-side-tag TAG

The base tag is used as a parent of the new side tag. If not given, rpkg will find build tag of current target and use it.

The plugin creates both tag and target (with the same name), so the output of rpkg contains a suggestion on how to submit builds to the new target.

Port to libmodulemd 2 API

rpkg will now user libmodulemd library version 2 instead of version 1.

module-overview allows filtering by owner

Adds additional arguments to command fedpkg module-overview:

--owner - param is added to mbs query and shows only builds of that owner

--mine - use current Kerberos user (or system username if Kerberos is not present) for filtering.

Arguments are mutually exclusive.

Add option to skip build for container-build

With this option, build can be skipped in container-build command, to update just buildconfig for autorebuilds.

Show nvr in container-build

After build is created with container-build, build’s nvr is listed on output.

Different import --offline command behavior

*pkg import --offline didn’t update source and .gitignore files. Modified incorrect output about uploaded sources. Offline mode now does everything but uploading sources into lookaside cache.

In Container-build add --build-release argument

Add support for a new --build-release argument to the container-build sub-command. This allows users to specify a specific “Release” value to OSBS for the build’s Name-Version-Release.

Allow some arguments for container-build together

For rhpkg container-build command allow --signing-intent together with --repo-url. --compose-id is still restricted to be used with these arguments.

Ignore error when adding exclude patterns

Creates a .git/info directory if is missing during clone of a remote repository. Then exclude file can be updated.

Custom handler for koji watch_tasks

Output text during rhpkg/fedpkg build process states that there is a watch_task subcommand. When koji_cli library is imported in rhpkg/fedpkg tool, it shows that command is named rhpkg/fedpkg watch_task instead of brew/koji watch_task. Custom handler replaces the internal one inside koji_cli library. Additional fix in rhpkg is needed after this change is released.

Fix clone --branches

When cloning with the --branches option we first clone a bare repo locally, then clone each branch from that bare repo. Avoid adding an excludes file to the temporary bare repo (which fails because we pass the wrong path to the git dir). Add an excludes file to each branch dir.

Make gitbuildhash work for windows builds

The requests are structured differently to rpm builds, so we need to look at different field to extract URL.
