Diaspora RPM tools

Creates Fedora 13 RPM packages from diaspora git repository.

Synopsis:

Create source tarballs like dist/diaspora-0.0-1010041233_fade4231.tar.gz
and dist/diaspora-bundle-0.0-1010041233_fade4231.tar.gz % ./make_dist.sh source % ./make_dist.sh bundle

Setup links to tarballs from RPM source directory: % ./make_dist.sh links

Build rpms: rpmbuild -ba dist/diaspora.spec rpmbuild -ba dist/diaspora-bundle.spec

Install rpm -U ~/rmpbuild/rpms/i686/diaspora-bundle-0.0-1.1010042345_4343fade43.fc13.i686 rpm -U ~/rmpbuild/rpms/noarch/diaspora-0.0-1.1010042345_4343fade43.fc13.noarch

Initiate (as root) /usr/sbin/diaspora-setup # Fix hostname afterwards by editing pod_url in # /usr/share/diaspora/master/config/app_config.yml

Start development server: sudo su - diaspora cd master ./script/server

Start using apache passenger: See: http://github.com/diaspora/diaspora/wiki/Using-apache

Notes

Routines uses last available version from master branch at github. The version contains a time stamp and an abbreviated git commit id. If listed in filename order, like ls does, latest version will be the last one.

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

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. Editing spec files should be done in this directory, changes in dist/ are lost when doing ./make_dist source.

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.
