Python Package for Automatic Generation of RPM Release Fields and Changelogs

This project hosts the rpmautospec python package and script, which has these functions:

Attempt to automatically calculate release numbers and generate an RPM changelog from the dist-git repository of a package.
Tag commits in a dist-git repository with build NEVRs (quoting certain special characters).

The script run-rpmautospec.py allows testing the various algorithms for automatic release and changelog generation. It accepts normal CLI options, run python run-rpmautospec.py --help for more information.

Generating a Changelog

This is how you can use it:

Clone a dist-git repository

fedpkg clone -a guake

Generating the changelog, pointing it to the repository cloned above

python run-rpmautospec.py generate-changelog guake

Calculating the Next Value for the Release Field

Calculate the value for the RPM release field by running the script this way:

python run-rpmautospec.py calculate-release <pkgname>
