packit prepare-sources

Prepares sources for a new SRPM build using the content of the upstream repository. Applies the same as for packit srpm, but instead of building a SRPM in the end, prepared sources are moved to the result-dir.

Requirements​

  • Upstream project is using git.
  • Packit config file placed in the upstream repository.

Usage: packit prepare-sources [OPTIONS] [PATH_OR_URL]

  Prepare sources for a new SRPM build using content of the upstream
  repository. Determine version, create an archive or download upstream and
  create patches for sourcegit, fix/update the specfile to use the right
  archive, download the remote sources. Behaviour can be customized by
  specifying actions (post-upstream-clone, get-current-version, create-
  archive, create-patches, fix-spec-file) in the configuration.

  PATH_OR_URL argument is a local path or a URL to the upstream git
  repository, it defaults to the current working directory

Options:
  --result-dir DIR                Copy the sources into DIR. By default,
                                  `prepare_sources_result` directory in the
                                  current working directory is created.

                                  repository is source-git).
  --merged-ref TEXT               Git ref used to identify correct most recent

  --bump / --no-bump              Deprecated. Use --[no-]update-release
