Usecases

Tagging

Tag new releases with incremented RPM version or release.

1. bump the version/release in spec file
2. auto-generate spec file changelog based on git history since last tag
3. commit changes
4. git tag

Building

• Create reliable tar.gz files with consistent checksums from any tag.

• Build source and binary rpms off any tag.

  $ tito build --help
  Usage: tito build [options]
  
  Options:
    --tgz                 Build .tar.gz
    --srpm                Build srpm
    --rpm                 Build rpm
    :
  

• Build source and binary "test" rpms off most recently committed code.

  tito build --test
  

• Build multiple source rpms with appropriate disttags for submission to the Koji build system.

• Build packages off an "upstream" git repository, where modifications in the "downstream" git repository will be applied as a patch in the source rpm. (UpstreamBuilder)

• Manage all of the above for a git repository with many disjoint packages within it.
