Hi all,
Does anyone use gem2rpm to upgrade an existing rpm to new versions of upstream gems?
I'm contemplating working on a pull request to make gem2rpm aware of an existing
.spec file and only update specific sections such as: version, requires, buildrequires,
and adding a changelog. As it is now, it overwrites the existing rpm spec, removing any
changelog entries, etc.
Is this a good idea? What do others do to regenerate the updated version,
requires/buildrequires to avoid human error?
Thanks,
Hi Joe,
I am not convinced that it is achievable with reasonable success. If I
might suggest, then just generate new spec file and compare/merge the
changes you are interested in.
Don't take me wrong, I don't want to discourage you from providing patch
and I am willing to accept it, but I doubt it will be robust enough for
general usage :/ Actually, go ahead and for gem2rpm and will see if we
can merge your changes back.
