Need packaging guidance
by dag dg
Hello all. I've been a long-time user of rpmfusion and I've reached a
point where I'm looking into becoming a contributor. I am looking to
package a variant of iproute2 that has support for variants of the
codel, cake, and fq_pie disciplines, along with a kernel module for
the cake discipline itself:
https://github.com/dtaht/tc-adv (userland)
https://github.com/dtaht/sch_cake (kmod)
It's a tricky business as any packages for iproute2 I would be
creating would directly conflict with the native iproute package.
While I realize what I'm trying to do is a difficult proposition, I do
believe it to be achievable. My concern is making sure I do this in
the cleanest and most "best-practice" method possible. I can see that
both code bases have been created as AUR packages in Arch Linux:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/iproute2-cake/
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/sch_cake/
On the RPM side, I feel creating the spec file and SRPM for the
sch_cake project will not be that difficult, but trying to merge the
nuances between the native iproute/iproute-tc packages and this
modified code base is a bit more challenging. Most of my difficulty is
coming from trying to splice the existing spec file for the native
iproute package which causes things to split out into 4 separate
packages:
iproute
iproute-tc
iproute-doc
iproute-devel
I was figuring to keep as close to that as possible so something like
iproute-cake
iproute-cake-tc
iproute-cake-doc
iproute-cake-devel
but I'm not sure the best way to handle the versioning on this. Do I
go with the iproute2 package version, the git repo commit, my own
versioning, or somewhere inbetween?
For the changelog do I keep the existing history or since it replaces
the native package do I create a completely new changelog?
I am looking to package this as I use Fedora for my home router as
part of a larger project and I'd rather not wait if I can help it for
cake to get added to the upstream kernel to reap its benefits.
Just looking for a little direction on how to best approach things, thanks.
