Re: Up to date rpm spec file

[Keith Rarick]

Does anyone still want to use that RPM spec file?
Would you volunteer to maintain it? Otherwise I'll
have to remove it entirely; I don't have the ability
to keep it up to date.

I can help as will need to maintain mine anyway. Since the daemon feature has been removed its harder to run beanstalk on centos as have to run with & char at end to background it. I've found 1.8 just crashes after q while so we are still running 1.4 but will hopefully upgrade to 1.9 if stable.

Awesome, can you start by submitting a pull request to bring
the existing file up to date (or replacing it, whatever you feel
is most expedient)?

[Thomas Parrott]

Sure no problem, have forked the repo.

What is the issue with it being an autoconf template?

Shall I just create a new file in the pkg dir called beanstalkd.spec
instead?

Thanks
Tom

[Thomas Parrott]

I've seen the new beanstalkd.spec in the root in the 1.9 release so will
work on that.

Looks like its going to be fine, but will also add an init script that
the spec will install.

Where shall I put the init file?

Thanks
Tom

It's not really an autoconf template; it just looks like one.
We keep the version string in tags rather than files.
When I cut a release, I run a script that fills in the version
string from the current tag. The script used to generate a
tarball, but now it makes another commit under its own tag.

You can see how it currently works:
https://github.com/kr/beanstalkd/blob/master/pkg/dist.sh

And you can see a couple of other files that get filled in this way:
https://github.com/kr/beanstalkd/blob/master/pkg/newstail.in
https://github.com/kr/beanstalkd/blob/master/pkg/bloghead.in

You should base your work on the master branch rather than the v1.9 commit.

Packaging-related files go in pkg.

[Thomas Parrott - Infinity Tracking]

K, shall I edit the SPEC file in root or the one in the pkg dir

The one in the root is automatically generated from the one
in the pkg dir, so please edit the source file.

[Thomas Parrott - Infinity Tracking]

OK got it, will do.

Thanks
