Procedure for applying arch-specific patches:

  1. Check out the Fedora package sources using fedora-cvs (from fedora-packager): fedora-cvs packagename
  2. Change to the current distribution version: cd packagename/F-13
  3. Bump the release number: rpmdev-bumpspec -c "Modified to build on ARM" *.spec
  4. Apply changes to the specfile (and other as required)
  5. Make a SRPM: make srpm
  6. Link the SRPM on the wiki page.
  7. Test the SRPM on ARM: koji --server https://arm.koji.fedoraproject.org/kojihub/ build --scratch dist-f13 *.src.rpm
  8. Test the SRPM on the primary arches: koji build --scratch dist-f13-updates *.src.rpm
  9. If the tests are unsuccessful, fix the problem and re-test (step 3).
  10. Mark the test results on the wiki page.
  11. Create a patch: cvs diff -uN >packagename-arm.patch
  12. Create a bugzilla entry with the title: packagename: ARM arch support. Attach the patch.
  13. Enter the bugzilla number on the wiki page.
  14. Watch the bug and record the resolution on the wiki page if closed by the maintainer, or have an arch maintainer apply the patch if the maintainer is unresponsive.
