Editing automatically created Bodhi updates

Hi,

It seems that updates are automatically created now? How can I list bugs that the updates fix and set the update type now? I don’t see a way to edit on the website at least.

Thanks,

If you do not get an answer here then ask on the fedora devel mailing list where you will get an answer.

Hi Ben!

These automatic updates for builds in Rawhide and Branched (i.e. what will become F42 right now) have been created for a long time, see the Fedora Rawhide Gating document. Their purpose is to run automated tests – same as for “real” Bodhi updates in stable Fedora releases – on built packages before they are put into Rawhide (or Branched). Maintainers are not expected to add descriptions, set update types or link Bugzilla tickets in them.

I hope this helps!

Hmm. Maybe this is the first time I’ve had issues to associate (FTBFS) rather than “new version” issues since then. Thanks for the info. I’ve linked to the Koji builds in question and closed the issues manually.

Yeah, this is where stable releases and Rawhide/Branched differ – in stable you’d link Bugzilla tickets in the update and let Bodhi close them when it pushes the update to stable, in Rawhide/Branched you have to do the Bugzilla “paperwork” yourself. :wink:

But you can attach bugs to these automatic updates. :wink:

See Using the %autochangelog Macro — rpmautospec documentation

you need to refer to the bug(s) in your changelog and bodhi will update them.

Of course you need to be careful if you are also going to update other releases, as bodhi will close the bug once the auto update is stable.

NB, this is a Bodhi feature which works regardless of whether a package uses rpmautospec or not.

True, but it’s handy for this case where you want to attach a bug to an automatic update. :slight_smile:
