Get sources from DistGit

A simple, configurable python utility that is able to clone package sources from a DistGit repository, download sources from the corresponding lookaside cache location, and generate source RPM.

The utility is able to automatically map the .git/config clone URL into the corresponding DistGit instance configuration.

Usage

Building package from DistGit is as simple as:

$ dist-git-client clone tar
INFO: Checked call: git clone https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/tar.git
Cloning into 'tar'...
...
Resolving deltas: 100% (802/802), done.

$ cd tar

Configuration

The project provides also a predefined set of existing (public) DistGit instances (Fedora, CentOS, Fedora Copr). Check the configuration file /etc/dist-git-client/default.ini out for the configuration documentation, and feel free to drop another INI configuration file into the /etc/dist-git-client/ directory.

Install

From regular Fedora/EPEL repositories:

$ dnf install -y dist-git-client

From source code:

$ tito build --rpm --install

Without installation - directly from Git (development/debugging use-case, no support):

$ ./dist-git-client ....
