What needs to be done:

All of these changes are being done in the new https://src.koozali.org GITEA instance after the packages have been migrated there.

  • Create copy of e-smith-<pkg> as smeserver-<pkg> Fork the smeserver/e-smith-<pkg> into your own user space as <user>/smeserver-<pkg>
  • Makefile - change e-smith to smeserver
    NAME := smeserver-<pkg>
  • smeserver-<pkg>.spec - change e-smith to smeserver and add in Provides of the old e-smith package
    %define name smeserver-<pkg>

Provides: e-smith-<pkg>
    If the Source: is not tar.gz change it and delete the archivefilename file
    Source: %{name}-%{version}.tar.gz
  • README.md - change name and add link to bugzilla for both new name (keep the old link there)
  • Transfer your smeserver-<pkg> over to the smeserver Organisation when you think it's ready for review/testing/etc.

Do we need to change the e-smith directories too?

In the first few packages I 'migrated' I have also change the standard e-smith directories to smeserver and created a symlink of the old e-smith directory to the new smeserver one, to support the old structure.

new smeserver directories
directory where initialised
/etc/smeserver smeserver-lib
/home/e-smith
/usr/sbin/smeserver smeserver-lib
/usr/local/perl5/vendor_perl/esmith smeserver-devtools

In the packages I have 'migrated' I have also changed the directory structure to fit this new model.

Whilst the changes in the root directory structure are fairly obvious, this also impacts the createlinks file
