Packaging/SDL

Packaging of SDL2 and related libraries. We use tar_git for packaging and git-remote-hg for integrating the upstream Mercurial repository into our Git packaging repository.

• Upstream website: http://libsdl.org/
• Upstream VCS: https://hg.libsdl.org/

TODO

• Cleanup / move away old branches (rpm and master)
• Remove master branch or make master branch point to default branch from hg

Current approach

• Using git-remote-hg (see git-remote-hg wiki)
• Branch is nemo
• Token (tar_git) is also nemo
• Old ChangeLog (from pre-April 2014 developments) entries are imported via rpm/*.changes
• RPM package name, OBS package name in nemo:devel:mw: Git repository (upstream Hg repository):
  • SDL2, libsdl2: https://github.com/nemomobile-packages/libsdl (upstream: https://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/)
  • SDL2_image, libsdl2-image: https://github.com/nemomobile-packages/libsdl-image (upstream: https://hg.libsdl.org/SDL_image/)
  • SDL2_mixer, libsdl2-mixer: https://github.com/nemomobile-packages/libsdl-mixer (upstream: https://hg.libsdl.org/SDL_mixer/)
  • SDL2_ttf, libsdl2-ttf: https://github.com/nemomobile-packages/libsdl-ttf (upstream: https://hg.libsdl.org/SDL_ttf/)
  • SDL2_net, libsdl2-net: https://github.com/nemomobile-packages/libsdl-net (upstream: https://hg.libsdl.org/SDL_net/)
• Deprecated packages:
  • SDL2_sound, from: http://hg.icculus.org/icculus/SDL_sound/
• Needs rebasing:
  • SDL2_gfx, from: http://cms.ferzkopp.net/index.php/software/13-sdl-gfx

Packaging new upstream releases

1. Clone upstream: git clone hg::https://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/
2. cd SDL
3. Add nemo remote: git remote add nemo git@github.com:nemomobile-packages/libsdl.git
4. git fetch nemo
5. Checkout the "nemo" branch: git checkout nemo
6. Merge a new upstream release: git merge release-2.x.y (potentially drop local patches merged upstream)
7. Update version in rpm/*.spec, reset release to 1
8. Run a test build: mb2 build
9. Commit spec file changes, message: [nemo] New upstream release 2.x.y
10. Push changes: git push nemo nemo
11. Tag as nemo/VERSION-RELEASE (e.g. nemo/2.0.0-1)
12. Push tag: git push nemo nemo/2.0.0-1

Packaging local changes / patches

1. Clone nemo: git clone git@github.com:nemomobile-packages/libsdl.git
2. cd libsdl
3. Checkout the "nemo" branch: git checkout nemo
4. Make changes
5. Run a test build: mb2 build
6. Increment release number in rpm/*.spec
7. Commit with message [nemo] DESCRIPTION OF CHANGES
8. Push changes: git push nemo nemo
9. Tag as nemo/VERSION-RELEASE (e.g. nemo/2.0.0-2)
10. Push tag: git push nemo nemo/2.0.0-2

Previously

• Using hg-fast-export for importing from hg to git
• Branch is rpm
• Token is nemo
