dgt (dist-git tool) is an alternative implementation of packaging tools built on top of pyrpkg with few nice things such as semi-automated rebase/patching, workflow support, improved auto-detection, dist-git transparency, git cli fallback, library-like python interface, ...

Instructions:

• ./configure # this will create src.rpm as well
• python setup.py install # as root, alternatively build and install the src.rpm
• read the help/man pages or use zsh smart completion for more info: dgt --help

Sample usage:

• dgt clone <package> --with-upstream git://<url> && cd <package> # Setup a git repo with fedora and upstream remote (the branches of that names point to master of each remote)
• dgt checkout -t fedora/f23 # Switch to a fedora dist-git branch
• dgt bump --init <version> # init semi-automated rebase, you can use 'dgt local --init' if you just want to apply a patch
• dgt bump --patch # apply all the patches from the spec file with git am, resolve conflicts, to continue run the command again
• dgt cherry-pick <hexsha> # I also want to include this upstream hex-sha commit to the rebase
• dgt bump --apply # apply back the rebased patches to the dist-git
• dgt commit --amend # review and update the generated patch
• dgt push # push if you like or 'dgt bump --abort' to reset
• dgt koji --scratch # do a scratch build, this is non-blocking, add --watch if you want to watch it
• dgt bugzilla -fcm # update bugzillla, you should do this before the koji package is built so that latest build points to the previous latest build, otherwise just last commit will be used
• dgt workflow --run rebase <version> # Do all the 'bump' machinery
• dgt workflow --run patch <hexsha> # Apply the given (upstream) patch to the dist-git (using the 'dgt local' machinery)
