git repository, versions and making RPMs
Added by Douglas Needham 5 months ago
Greetings all,
I just started working on making a RPM for installing Wt on machines for development on Centos. Rather than downloading the latest version of the source as a file, I cloned the git repository, but I noticed that there are no tags for the versions in the repository. Is this something which is just not being pushed to the publicly accessible repository, or are there no tags being made for revisions?
Also, for the developers... is there interest in including the RPM spec files in the repository? If so, what is the location preferred for such a file? I know some packages put such a file in the top level directory of the source, while others create a separate directory for such files.
Thanks!
- Doug

Hey Doug,
As I recently found out, tags aren't automatically pushed along with a branch, so that's why they are missing (I will fix this). Still, I would recommend to use the source package.
We are certainly willing to accept the .spec file in the repository. We already have a 'target' directory which contains specific build scripts for android and OSX, so that would be a good location. I would prefer not to add (more) clutter to the top level directory.
Also, you might be interested getting in touch with Pau Garcia who is packaging Wt for Debian/Ubuntu to discuss things related to packaging ?
Regards,
koen

@Doug,
Any chance your planning on making a fedora friendly RPM?
