Packaging/SDL

Packaging of SDL2 and related libraries. We use tar_git for packaging.

Current approach

• Using git-remote-hg (see git-remote-hg wiki)
• Branch is nemo
• Token (tar_git) is also nemo
• 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/)

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. Checkout the "nemo" branch: git checkout nemo
5. Merge a new upstream release: git merge release-2.x.y (potentially drop local patches merged upstream)
6. Update version in rpm/*.spec, reset release to 1
7. Run a test build: mb2 build
8. Commit spec file changes, message: [nemo] New upstream release 2.x.y
9. Push changes: git push nemo nemo
10. Tag as nemo/VERSION-RELEASE (e.g. nemo/2.0.0-1)
11. 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
