Fedora packaging branch and instructions

[twhitehead]

Hey Patrick,

I've finished working on the Fedora packaging structure on a new f14/sharcnet branch. Possibly we should create a branch for this in your upstream and pull it, and the associated tags, in as well.

Once you've got this branch, to build the latest rpm just do

git  checkout 0.1.0+git20111008
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make dist
ln -s build/ovis-0.1.0+git20110929.tar.bz2 ../ovis-0.1.0+git20110929.tar.bz2
cd ..

git checkout sharcnet/0.1.0+git20111008-1.fc14.SN.1
fedpkg local

on any Fedora box (such as any of the viz stations). The rpm will be put in a x86_64 subdirectory.

To create a new rpm version start on the develop or master branch and

• bump the version (most likely the patch version),
• tag the branch MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH, and
• build the tar.bz2 file (make dist) and create a symbolic link to it as above.

Then switch to the f14/sharcnet branch and

• add a md5sum for the new .tar.bz2 file to sources,
• add a line for the new .tar.bz2 file to .gitignore,
• bump the version in the spec file and update the change log at the bottom, and
• tag the branch sharcnet/MAJOR.MINOR.BRANCH.
