Remove the version_command, rpm, srpm, rpmbuild, rpmspec, rpm_rel, debian_create, deb, deb_src, use_pbuilder, and debian_revision options, as well as the rpmspec, rpm, srpm, deb-src, deb, pkg, and the publish commands. All of these features can still be implemented externally.

Add the target_append and target_prepend input_files options

Add the build_log_append option

Add the rbm_tmp_dir option

Add the input_files_paths option

Add the ENV option

Add the build_log option

Add support for optional local configuration file rbm.local.conf

add the git_submodule option

add the hg_opt option

remove support for distributions configuration. This feature made lookup of options 3 or 4 times slower, and is not very useful. The targets feature should be used instead.

project is renamed to rbm (Reproducible Build Manager)

Add an options argument to the exec function

Add support for targets.

Add the pkg command

Add the publish command

Add the tmp_dir option, to select the directory used for temporary files such as build directory

Add the pc function in templates, a function to access config value from an other project

directory

Add support for external input files, documented in burps_input_files(7)

Add the abbrev and abbrev_length options

Add the tar option, to create deterministic tar files

Add the debug mode: open a shell in the temporary build directory in case of build failure

Add the arch option

Add the zip option, to create deterministic zip files

Add the remote_chroot option

Add the step option

Add a syntax to set a target only for a specific project

Add a sha256 function in templates

Add support for config based on current step

The remote/[script_name]/exec option is replaced by the remote_exec option. With the addition of steps configuration, it becomes useless to have per step exec option.

Add support for pre and post scripts, to be run as root. Those scripts can be used to install/remove build dependencies.

Add the install_package option, for use in scripts templates.

Add the fileparse function in templates

Add the build_id option

Add the remote_start and remote_finish options

Add support for remote builds using docker

Add an sha256file function in templates

Make environment variables available to templates

Add support for mercurial repositories

Change default remote_mktemp to use /var/tmp

the filename in input_files can now point to a directory

Move %default_config into a separate file

Add the shell_quote function in templates

It is now possible to run debian package builds on a remote host with ssh.

Move all documentation to man pages

Add versioncmp function in templates

Make it possible to use perl syntax to define configuration, in any of the configuration files

Add the as_array option to the project_config function, which will return all matching results as an array instead of only the first one.

Add automatic detection of running distribution using lsb_release

Add support for distributions configuration. It’s now possible to define options depending on the selected distributions.

Usage command now opens the corresponding man page

Make it possible to use templating in output_dir option

Use YAML::XS rather than YAML perl module

Add the tmpl function in templates

Fix lookup of 0 or empty options

It is now possible to put a function reference in the default configuration. When accessing a configuration option (or one of the elements in the path) that is a function, the function is executed and the return of the function is used as the value. The function takes as first argument the project’s name, and on other arguments the path to the config option.

The describe option is now a perl function. This allows us to remove some explicit calls to the git_describe function, and make sure that it is called any time the describe values are used. This makes the "mkpkg showconf [project] rpmspec" command work in all cases (before that there could be problems as the describe option was not set).

Add the deb-src command, to create a debian source package

Add optional system configuration file /etc/mkpkg.conf

Automatically create output_dir and git_clone_dir if they don’t already exist.

Add the deb command, to create a debian package. With the debsign_keyid option to select the gpg id to sign the packages, and the use_pbuilder option to select whether pbuilder should be used.

Add the rpm_rel option

The showconf command can now be used to display specific config for a project.

All configuration options are now templates. The content of the rpm spec file, and the build scripts are now configuration options which by default use an include directive to include a template file.

Add the exit_error function in templates

Add the exec function in templates. This function takes a command as argument, run it inside the sources tree and return the output. The version option which was handled as a special case in the source code to execute the command defined in version_command if it is defined is now a normal option thanks to the exec function.

Add the fetch option, to tell whether new commits from remote git repository should be fetched automatically.

Add the fetch command, to fetch new commits from a git repository

rpm build is now done using a script, with template in the rpmbuild option, which can be customized if necessary.

Use commit time as modification time on source tarball and rpm spec files. The timestamp option can be used to set this to an other value.

Add the path function in templates

Use a wrapper to run gpg from git. This allow us to use specific keyring files for some projects. While doing this we add the gpg_wrapper, gpg_keyring, gpg_keyring_dir, gpg_args, gpg_bin options.

It’s now possible to filter good gpg keys IDs with tag_gpg_id and commit_gpg_id with short or long IDs, or full fingerprint. Previously it was done using short IDs only.

tag_gpg_id and commit_gpg_id can be set to 1 to accept signature from any key in the keyring.
