Automated Packaging from git

Setting up a webhook to github

Open the git tree you have. Go to Settings->Service Hooks->WebHook URLs and enter https://webhook.merproject.org/webhook/ to the URL field. Click "Update Settings" and "Test Hook". After clicking "Test Hook" the webhooks admin interface will show to the admins that you have active git tree. Contact Sage or w00t at #nemomobile IRC channel and they can help you to setup the rest of the process. When this is done everytime you tag on the selected branch the webhook will automatically launch the service and the new sources will be build.

With tar_git service

With tar_git service packaging information is carried on the same branch in rpm/ subdirectory. This directory can contain any files which all are exported to packaging in OBS. If more than one .spec, .yaml or .changes is present the one that matches to the "Package" in webhooks will be taken. This allows one to create multiple packages with same source and different .spec file.

Changelogs are automatically generated from git commit messages, when ever git commit contains line that starts with "[sample text] Longer sample text." that is added automatically to the next changelog entry when version is tagged. If .changes file is located in the rpm/ subdirectory it is used as a base of the changelog generation and automated changelogs are appended to that.
