Preupgrade Assistant contents Packaging guidelines

How to package a Preupgrade Assistant contents

Contents files are packaged as a subpackage of main preupgrade-assistant package.

Naming guidelines

Every Preupgrade Assistant content subpackage name must start with preupgrade-assistant-contents- followed by original package name.

For example Preupgrade Assistant content subpackage for mariadb will be named preupgrade-assistant-contents-mariadb.

Dependencies

• All packages must have

 Requires: preupgrade-assistant
 BuildRequires: preupgrade-assistant-devel

Devel package contains macros and contents validating check script.

Architecture

• All preupgrade-assistant-contents-* subpackages must be architecture independent, i.e. have BuildArch: noarch.

Macros

• Macro denoting the parent directory where the package files go is %{preupgrade_dir}. This currently expands to /usr/share/preupgrade.
• Macro %{preupg_number} means source release from which the system is going to be upgraded, e.g. Fedora 22.
• Macro %{postupg_number} means target release to which the system is going to be upgraded, e.g. Fedora 23.
