== Description ==
<!-- Put a description of the task here.
-->
Each new release we create a build target for the next release.  This SOP will describe the steps necessary to prepare the new build target.


== Action ==
<!-- Describe the action and provide examples
-->
Adding a build target is a complicated task.  It involves updating koji, git, fedora-release package, and a few wiki pages.
=== Koji ===
In koji a couple collection tags need to be made, and a target created to tie them together.  We create a base collection tag named after the release, and a build tag to hold a few things we use in the buildroots that are not part of the distribution (glibc32/glibc64).  Inheritance to the previous release is used for ownership and package data, as well as buildroot content data.
The <code>add-tag</code>, <code>add-tag-inheritance</code>, <code>edit-tag</code>, and <code>add-target</code> commands are used.
<pre>
$ koji add-tag --help
Usage: koji add-tag [options]  name
(Specify the --help global option for a list of other help options)
Options:
-h, --help      show this help message and exit
--parent=PARENT  Specify parent
--arches=ARCHES  Specify arches
$ koji add-tag-inheritance --help
Usage: koji add-tag-inheritance [options]  tag parent-tag
(Specify the --help global option for a list of other help options)
Options:
-h, --help            show this help message and exit
--priority=PRIORITY  Specify priority
--maxdepth=MAXDEPTH  Specify max depth
--intransitive        Set intransitive
--noconfig            Set to packages only
--pkg-filter=PKG_FILTER
Specify the package filter
--force=FORCE        Force adding a parent to a tag that already has that
parent tag
$ koji edit-tag --help
Usage: koji edit-tag [options] name
(Specify the --help global option for a list of other help options)
Options:
  -h, --help      show this help message and exit
  --arches=ARCHES  Specify arches
  --perm=PERM      Specify permission requirement
  --no-perm        Remove permission requirement
  --lock          Lock the tag
  --unlock        Unlock the tag
  --rename=RENAME  Rename the tag
$ koji add-target --help
Usage: koji add-target name build-tag <dest-tag>
(Specify the --help global option for a list of other help options)
Options:
-h, --help  show this help message and exit
</pre>
For example if we wanted to create the Fedora 17 tags, we would do the following:
<pre>
koji add-tag --parent f16-updates f17
koji add-tag --parent f17 f17-updates
koji add-tag --parent f17-updates f17-candidate
koji add-tag --parent f17-updates f17-updates-testing
koji add-tag --parent f17-updates-testing f17-updates-testing-pending
koji add-tag --parent f17-updates f17-updates-pending
koji add-tag --parent f17-updates f17-override
koji add-tag --parent f17-override --arches=i686,x86_64 f17-build
koji add-tag-inheritance --priority 1 f17-build f16-build
koji edit-tag --perm=fedora-override f17-override
koji edit-tag --lock f17-updates
koji add-target f17 f17-build
</pre>
{{admon/note|-pending?|The <code>-pending</code> tags are used by [[Bodhi]] and [[AutoQA]] to track and test proposed updates. These tags are not build targets and they don't get made into repos, so proper inheritance isn't vital.}}
=== Git ===
The pkgdb2branch.py file which is hosted in puppet (modules/gitolite/files/distgit/pkgdb2branch.py) needs to be updated for the new target for making branches.
Update <code>BRANCHES</code> with the new branch information.  The branch name maps to the branch that is its parent.
<pre>
BRANCHES = {'el4': 'master', 'el5': 'master', 'el6': 'f12',
        'OLPC-2': 'f7',
        'master': None,
        'fc6': 'master',
        'f7': 'master',
        'f8': 'master',
        'f9': 'master',
        'f10': 'master',
        'f11': 'master',
        'f12': 'master',
        'f13': 'master', 'f14': 'master'}
</pre>
and update <code>GITBRANCHES</code> with the translation from pkgdb branch string to git branch string:
<pre>
GITBRANCHES = {'EL-4': 'el4', 'EL-5': 'el5', 'EL-6': 'el6', 'OLPC-2': 'olpc2',
              'FC-6': 'fc6', 'F-7': 'f7', 'F-8': 'f8', 'F-9': 'f9', 'F-10': 'f10',
              'F-11': 'f11', 'F-12': 'f12', 'F-13': 'f13', 'F-14': 'f14', 'devel': 'master'}
</pre>
The genacls.pkgdb file also needs to be updated for active branches to generate ACLs for.  Update the <code>ACTIVE</code> variable.  genacls.pkgdb lives in puppet (modules/gitolite/files/distgit/genacls.pkgdb). The format is pkgdb branch string to git branch string (until pkgdb uses git branch strings):
<pre>
    ACTIVE = {'OLPC-2': 'olpc2/', 'EL-4': 'el4/', 'EL-5': 'el5/',
              'EL-6': 'el6/', 'F-11': 'f11/', 'F-12': 'f12/', 'F-13': 'f13/',
              'F-14': 'f14/', 'devel': 'master'}
</pre>
=== fedora-release ===
Currently the fedora-release package provides the '''%{?dist}''' definitions used during building of packages.  When a new target is created, fedora-release must be built for the collection with new dist definitions.
=== Wiki ===
Various wiki pages need to be updated with the new target information.  Below you'll find a (hopefully current) list of pages to change:
* [[Koji/CurrentKojiTags| Current Koji Tags]]
* [[PackageMaintainers/Git_Admin_Requests| Git Admin Requests]]
=== Comps ===
* In the comps module in Fedora Hosted git (ssh://git.fedorarhosted.org/git/comps.git), create and add a new comps file based on the previous release. (Just copying it should be fine.) Add the new file to <code>po/POTFILES.in</code>.
* When rawhide is retargeted in koji to point to the new release, update the <code>Makefile</code> to target comps-rawhide.xml at the new version
* Don't forget to <code>git push</code> your changes after committing.
== Verification ==
<!-- Provide a method to verify the action was successful
-->
Given the complexity of all the changes necessary to create a new build target, the best way to verify is to attempt a build.  Given that fedora-release has to be built before anything else so that dist tags translate correctly it is a good test case.  For example, this was used to test the new Fedora 15 target:
* Use pkgdb to request an F-15 branch of fedora-release
* Use pkgdb2branch.py to actually make the branch
* Update fedora-release clone
* Adjust .spec file in master for new dist defines
* commit/build
* Track build in koji to ensure proper tagging is used
What this won't test is translations of dist at tag time given that fedora-release doesn't use dist in it's Release.  Verifying with a second package that uses dist is a good idea.
== Consider Before Running ==
* '''FIXME'''
* Too many to list right now.
