Hi,
I am trying to retrieve the srpm for the latest centos-release pacakge from centos-git by following the instructions @ https://wiki.centos.org/Sources.
If I run the following commands: git clone https://git.centos.org/git/rpms/centos-release.git cd centos-release/ git checkout c7 ~/centos-git-common/get_sources.sh
Everything completes without error. The problem is that the sources that get downloaded are not for 1804.
(vgeppetto2 pts21) $ ll SOURCES/ SPECS/ SOURCES/: total 28 -rw-rw-r--. 1 mock mock 1584 Aug 6 08:19 1000-centos-release-cr.patch -rw-rw-r--. 1 mock mock 264 Aug 6 08:19 85-display-manager.preset -rw-rw-r--. 1 mock mock 2439 Aug 6 08:19 90-default.preset -rw-rw-r--. 1 mock mock 12799 Aug 6 08:20 centos-release-7-1.1503.tar.gz
SPECS/: total 8 -rw-rw-r--. 1 mock mock 6471 Aug 6 08:19 centos-release.spec (vgeppetto2 pts21) $grep "define upstream_rel" SPECS/centos-release.spec %define upstream_rel 7.3 (vgeppetto2 pts21) $
So if I am reading things correctly, it looks like the SOURCES are for 1503 and the spec file is for 1611.
Can someone please explain to me how to actually get the current SOURCES and SPEC for centos-release-7-5.1804.1 from centos git?
To be clear I know I can get the srpm from vault but I would like to understand how to work centos git.
Regards,
I'll let Johnny comment on that but normally (if he has rights to push to Sources) he's supposed to git commit & push to git and also push binary sources to git.centos.org/sources/
But iirc, he reported that he had issues pushing to that area, so only way to retrieve it was to use the src.rpm pkg pushed to vault.centos.org
