This log only covers the highlights. If you need granular change detail, please pull up the SCM log and/or code diff between releases (where available).
Finished debugging. Copied, expanded, and reformatted documentation from old sources, converted to Markdown, and added tests. Ported SCM from private Git repo (Bitbucket) to public (GitHub).
Refactoring objective turned into a complete rewrite. Jenkins support is implicit rather than explicit (and no longer mandatory). Ported SCM from Mercurial to Git; abandoned history.
Added intrinsic Jenkins support; automatic release version tracking and incrementing; and pre-defined variables:
- build box OS
- build box arch
- builder identity
- Changelog-compatible date generation
Major expansion to enable templating spec files. Later extended template handling to additional files (namely init.d scripts but the engine works on any text file with appropriate markup). Ported SCM from MSSCC to Mercurial; abandoned commit history (no way to port).
Modular code rework. Functionally the same but no longer one monolithic file.
Builds all indicated projects when passed a directory containing helpers matching a given file-name pattern. Added to MSSCC for versioning.
Project origination as a trivial helper script that merely assisted with kicking
off the rpmbuild command with repetitive command-line arguments fed from a
directory of helpers (pre-defined arguments passed into the main script).
