tito: manage RPM based projects using git

NAME

tito - manage RPM based projects using git

SYNOPSIS

tito init

tito tag [OPTIONS]

tito build --test --rpm

tito build [OPTIONS]

tito release [OPTIONS] TARGET

tito report

DESCRIPTION

After setting up a directory as a Git repo, use tito to manage the tags and builds. A simple workflow may look like:

1. Save user preferences as described in titorc(5)

2. Initialize a .tito directory

3. Test

1. Make changes to source

2. Use git to commit changes

3. Build: tito build --rpm --test

4. Finalize a release

1. Tag: tito tag

2. Push: git push && git push $ORIGIN $TAG

3. Build: tito build [OPTIONS]

OPTIONS

tito init

This will create a top-level metadata directory called ".tito/" and commit it to git. This directory will store tito's configuration and package metadata on a per branch basis. It will be filtered out when creating .tar.gz's.


Note

Your spec file should list the source as %{name}-%{version}.tar.gz

tito tag [options]

By default, tito will tag by bumping the rpm version (i.e. we bump the Z in X.Y.Z). If you'd prefer to bump the package release instead (normally should just be used for changes to the spec file or patches applied within it), you can change the tagger class in .tito/tito.props to ReleaseTagger. This will affect all packages in this git branch; if you'd prefer to do this on a per-package basis you can do so in a package specific tito.props.

-h, --help

show this help message and exit

--debug

print debug messages (can be also set using DEBUG environment variable)

--offline

do not attempt any remote communication (avoid using this please)

-o OUTPUTDIR, --output=OUTPUTDIR

Write temp files, tarballs, and RPMs to OUTPUTDIR. Create sub-directories as needed by rpmbuild(8). (default /tmp/tito)

--tag-release

Deprecated, no longer required.

--keep-version

Use spec file version/release exactly as specified in spec file to tag package.

--use-version=USE_VERSION

Update the spec file with the specified version.

--use-release=USE_RELEASE

Update the spec file with the specified release.

--no-auto-changelog

Don't automatically create a changelog entry for this tag if none is found

--accept-auto-changelog

Automatically accept the generated changelog.

--auto-changelog-message=MESSAGE

Use MESSAGE as the default changelog message for new packages

--changelog=MESSAGE

Use MESSAGE as the changelog when tagging, this can be specified every time a package is tagged. Useful when needing to generate custom changelogs. This will override the auto generated changelog.

-u, --undo

Undo the most recent (un-pushed) tag.


Note

Tito will create automatic changelog from git commits. Unless you specify one of auto options, tito will open text editor and allow you to edit the text. Editor is by default. This can be changes by environment variable EDITOR.

tito build [options]

-h, --help

show this help message and exit

--debug

print debug messages (can be also set using DEBUG environment variable)

--offline

do not attempt any remote communication. Avoid using this please. See OFFLINE section below.

-o OUTPUTDIR, --output=OUTPUTDIR

Write temp files, tarballs and RPMs to OUTPUTDIR. (default /tmp/tito)

--tgz

Build .tar.gz

--srpm

Build srpm

--rpm

Build srpm and rpm

-i, --install

Install any binary RPMs being built.


Warning

uses sudo rpm -Uvh --force

--no-sudo

Don't escalate privileges when installing. Use when running this command with required privileges.

--dist=DISTTAG

Apply DISTTAG to srpm and/or rpm. (e.g., ".el5")

--test

use current branch HEAD instead of latest package tag.

--no-cleanup

do not clean up temporary build directories/files

--rpmbuild-options=OPTIONS

Pass OPTIONS to rpmbuild.

--builder=BUILDER

Override the normal builder by specifying a full class path or one of the pre-configured shortcuts. Only useful if you need to override the default builder for some purpose, such as testing a build via mock.

--arg=BUILDER_ARGS

Custom arguments specific to a particular builder. (key=value)

--scl=COLLECTION

Build package for software collection. This is mostly useful for building src.rpm, because for rpm you want to define this option for specific tag in tito.props

--quiet

Suppress output from the build process.

--verbose

Expose more output from the build process.

tito release [options] TARGETS

Runs the release targets defined in .tito/releasers.conf.

-h, --help

show this help message and exit

--debug

print debug messages (can be also set using DEBUG environment variable)

--offline

do not attempt any remote communication. Avoid using this please. See OFFLINE section below.

-o OUTPUTDIR, --output=OUTPUTDIR

Write temp files, tarballs and RPMs to OUTPUTDIR. (default /tmp/tito)

--tag=PKGTAG

build a specific tag instead of the latest version (e.g., spacewalk-java-0.4.0-1)

--dry-run

Do not actually commit/push anything during release.

--no-build

Do not perform a brew/koji build, only DistGit commit. (only for Koji/DistGit releasers)

--all

Run all release targets defined in .tito/releasers.conf.

--list

List all release targets defined in .tito/releasers.conf.

--all-starting-with=ALL_STARTING_WITH

Run all release targets starting with the given string. (i.e. if you have defined release targets yum-f15 and yum-f14 in releasers.conf, --all-starting-with=yum will run only these targets, and ignore any others.)

--scratch

Perform a scratch build in Koji. Can be specified using environment variable SCRATCH set to 1 as well.

--yes

Do not ask to confirm release commits or edit their messages.

tito report [options]

Display a report of all packages with differences between HEAD and their most recent tag, as well as a patch for that diff. Used to determine which packages are in need of a rebuild.

-h, --help

show this help message and exit

--debug

print debug messages (can be also set using DEBUG environment variable)

--offline

do not attempt any remote communication. Avoid using this please. See OFFLINE section below.

-o OUTPUTDIR, --output=OUTPUTDIR

Write temp files, tarballs and RPMs to OUTPUTDIR. (default /tmp/tito)

--untagged-diffs

Print out diffs for all packages with changes between their most recent tag and HEAD. Useful for determining which packages are in need of a re-tag.

--untagged-commits

Print out the list for all packages with changes between their most recent tag and HEAD. Useful for determining which packages are in need of a re-tag.

OFFLINE

Offline lets you potentially do builds you can't reproduce, normally we check that the tag you're building exists in the remote repo. If it hasn't been pushed, it's quite easy to do a build that will result in a checksum that is no longer the same. This is something you should try to avoid.

EXAMPLES

Build and install a test package from the latest code in current git HEAD

tito build --rpm --test -i

Overriding the default builder to build via mock instead

tito build --builder mock --arg mock=fedora-15-x86_64 --rpm
