rdopkg is an RPM packaging automation tool. It provides automation for
package maintenance including git-based patches management and automagic
rebases to new upstream versions. It also contains various functionality we
needed for RDO packaging, such as advanced
requirements.txt management for python projects.
rdopkg is under constant development, serving the needs of the mighty
RDO packager-warriors.
Generic
dist-git
and patches management functionality and conventions provided by rdopkg
proved to be efficient way of packaging fast-moving upstream projects with
minimal human effort. In order to make this functionality conveniently
available for packagers, I'm splitting (and refactoring) the best of rdopkg
features into a generic modular packaging tools framework called
pwnpkg. Check it out if you are interested in
advanced dist-git patches management, writing you own *pkg tool or creating
fedpkg/copr-cli we deserve.
The easiest and recommended way to get rdopkg is use jruzicka/rdopkg copr. The linked page contains instructions howto enable the repository:
dnf copr enable jruzicka/rdopkg
After you've enabled the repo, just
dnf install rdopkg
Note that Fedora review
is underway but not likely to finish before pwnpkg split.
If you want to hack rdopkg or just have the latest fixes without waiting for
next release, I suggest using the git repo directly a la
git clone https://github.com/redhat-openstack/rdopkg
cd rdopkg
python setup.py develop --user
Required python modules are listed in requirements.txt and also in rdopkg.spec as RPM requirements.
For your convenience, rdopkg is also available from the Cheese
Shop. This should come in handy especially if you want to reuse rdopkg as
a module.
pip install rdopkg
Exhaustive rdopkg manual is available, you can:
- read it online
- read its nice source: doc/rdopkg.1.txt
- run
man rdopkgif you installed from RPM

some examples of rdopkg usage and more.
Please use the github Issues to report bugs. I usually fix them within days.
