It is still under construction and content may change. Do not rely on this information.
Procedure for applying arch-specific patches:
- Check out the Fedora package sources using fedora-cvs (from fedora-packager):
fedora-cvs packagename - Change to the current distribution version:
cd packagename/F-13 - Bump the release number:
rpmdev-bumpspec -c "Modified to build on ARM" *.spec - Apply changes to the specfile (and other as required)
- Make a SRPM:
make srpm - Link the SRPM on the wiki page.
- Test the SRPM on ARM:
koji --server https://arm.koji.fedoraproject.org/kojihub/ build --scratch dist-f13 *.src.rpm - Test the SRPM on the primary arches:
koji build --scratch dist-f13-updates *.src.rpm - If the tests are unsuccessful, fix the problem and re-test (step 3).
- If the devel and F-13 versions are different, change to the devel directory and repeat the patching process. Test again.
- Mark the test results on the wiki page.
- Create a patch from the parent of the F-13 and devel directories:
cvs diff -uN >packagename-arm.patch - Create a bugzilla entry with the title:
"packagename: ARM arch support". Attach the patch. - Enter the bugzilla number on the wiki page.
- 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.
