Notes

Routines uses last available version from master branch at github.

You need to copy all patches and secondary sources in this dir to the rpm source directory a. k. a. $(rpm --eval %_sourcedir).

The spec-files in dist/ are patched by ./make_dist.sh source to reference correct versions of diaspora and diaspora-bundle. The diaspora-bundle is only updated if Gemfile is updated, upgrading diaspora doesn't always require a new diaspora-bundle.

rpmlint shows many errors, most of which related to that the server won't start if the .git directories are not included. Needs investigation.

This has been confirmed to start up and provide basic functionality both using the thin webserver and apache passenger.
