I wanted to do a scratch build of the current git master (head). I tried following the instructions on:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Using_Fedora_GIT

but I'm missing something in the process.

Initially I just tried:

fedpkg --dist=f18 srpm

but there was no spec file.

I then pulled down anaconda-18.3-1.fc18.src.rpm and borrowed the spec file from there. Trying fedpkg again gave:

$ fedpkg --dist=f18 srpm Could not make an srpm: /discer.farm/es/scratch/dmarlin/gitfedora/anaconda is not a valid repo: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/es/scratch/dmarlin/gitfedora/anaconda/sources'

which is true, there is no 'sources' file in the repo.

I then tried the steps in the spec file:

# To generate Source0 do: # git clone http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/anaconda.git # git checkout -b archive-branch anaconda-%{version}-%{release} # ./autogen.sh # make dist

but encountered a new error:

$ make dist make: *** No rule to make target `dist'. Stop.

because we don't have a Makefile (just Makefile.in).

What is the correct way to do a scratch build from the head of git master (latest changes)?

Thank you,
