Description

As a reminder:
https://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/manual/html_node/Updating-version-info.html

LIBVERSION = current:revision:age
LIBVERSION_MAJOR = current - age

Right now we usually use the form "{*_}LIBVERSION = 1:2:3" in Makefile.am, and we hardcode the resulting LIBVERSION_MAJOR in lots of files, namely:
  • debian/control
  • debian/rules
  • contrib/*.spec.in

The idea here would be to generate LIBVERSION_MAJOR automatically as a autconf/automake variable which can be fed into those files automatically, so we don't have to update them every time LIBCERSION_MAJOR changes (and hence potentially avoid breakage during release time).

So, I'd follow these steps for each project:
  • Normalize the LIBVERSION variable to follow a standardized naming, so that we can track it later better on osmo-release.sh, for instance ${LIBNAME}_LIBVERSION (replacing "-" with "_"). Example: LIBOSMO_NETIF_LIBVERSION. Or even better, LIBVERSION_LIBOSMO_NETIF.
  • Have LIBVERSION variable be generated out of 3 new variables (also following normalized name with LIBNAME), example:
    LIBVERSION_CURRENT_LIBOSMO_NETIF = 3
    LIBVERSION_REVISION_LIBOSMO_NETIF = 2
    LIBVERSION_AGE_LIBOSMO_NETIF = 1
    LIBVERSION_MAJOR_LIBOSMO_NETIF = LIBVERSION_CURRENT_LIBOSMO_NETIF - LIBVERSION_AGE_LIBOSMO_NETIF
    
  • Use $LIBVERSION_MAJOR_LIBOSMO_NETIF in the files mentioned above
  • Update osmo-release.sh to follow new naming
Considerations:
  • We may need to move debian/control to debian/control.in so we can template it? That means also configure must be run before generating the package, I guess that's expected?

Note that currently the OBS scripts are using the .spec.in file and replace the version there. From a quick look, it should be possible to use the .spec file generated by ./configure instead (as osmo_obs_add_rpm_spec gets called after gbp buildpackage). But I have not tested it.
