Procedure for applying arch-specific patches:
- Check out the Fedora package sources using fedora-cvs (from fedora-pacakger):
fedora-cvs packagename - Change to the current distribution version:
cd packagename/F-13 - 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 *.src.rpm - Test the SRPM on the primary arches:
koji build --scratch *.src.rpm - If the tests are unsuccessful, fix the problem and re-test (step 3).
- Mark the test results on the wiki page.
- Create a patch:
cvs diff >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.
