# LTS package maintenance utility
|
|
|
|
This tooling is designed to automate 2 main tasks that are part of
|
|
the package maintenance workflow of Clear Linux LTS. These tasks are:
|
|
- Back-porting of a patch (e.g. security fix) to older branches.
|
|
- Building RPMs with the intent of sharing binaries of older LTS branches to
|
|
newer branches whenever possible.
|
|
|
|
There should be no need to run this tool directly. Instead use the following
|
|
targets defined in Makefile.common.lts:
|
|
- lts-show: Show a summary of active LTS branches
|
|
- lts-backport: Attempt to fast-forward the previous active branch to the current branch
|
|
- lts-build: Build RPM in Koji, or reuse existing build from older branch
|
|
|
|
"Active" branches correspond to LTS releases that currently have support.
|
|
They are listed in a flat file "active-branches" in "lts" directory, from
|
|
oldest to newest. New entries are added by Clear Linux LTS developers as
|
|
new releases become available, and entries removed as releases become
|
|
obsolete.
