== Qt5 Packaking Process ==

Following procedure automates the communication between a packager, Gitorious and OBS.

Following directory paths are required:

* Clone of Qt5 Git repository (/work/qt5 in this example)
* Checkout of Qt5 project from selected OBS (/work/obs/qt5 in this example)
* Qt-specs (/work/qt-specs in this example) (https://gitorious.org/qt-spec-effort/qt-specs)

=== Prequicities ===

Checkout OBS Project
machine:/work/obs$ osc co qt5

Clone git tree
machine:/work$ git clone git://gitorious.org/qt/qt5.git

=== Configuration ===

Open update-sources.sh for editing and change following details according to your directory structure:

# QT5_DIR is the directory where qt5 and all the submodules have been
# checked into
QT5_DIR=/work/qt5

# OBSDIR is the directory holding your OBS qt5 project
OBSDIR=/work/obs/qt5

=== Process in nutshell ===

./update-sources.sh --help
./update-sources.sh --no-pull

update-sources.sh command has following functionality

* Fetch latest Qt5 tree from Gitorious
* Include .spec, .changes and .path files from qt-specs
* Create tarballs from Qt5 tree
* Commit previously mentioned source packages to OBS

=== Workflow ===

Create a patch:
machine:/work/qt-specs$ ecmas qtbase/files/fix-borken-thingies.patch

Modify packaging:
machine:/work/qt-specs$ ecmas qtbase/qtbase.spec

Commit changes to OBS:
machine:/work/qt-specs$ ./update-sources.sh --no-pull

Follow OBS logs and fix more things.
