NAME

gear-remotes-uscan - update to new version if found in git repo listed in .gear/upstream/remotes file

SYNOPSIS

gear-remotes-uscan

DESCRIPTION

gear-remotes-uscan is like gear-remotes-watch, but if a new version is found it calls gear-uupdate to perform gear repository update instead of issuing a notification.

It first checks for updates in foreign upstream git repository(ies) listed in .gear/upstream/remotes file. For that gear-remotes-uscan lists tags available in upstream git repository and compares them with the current version in spec file. If a tag with greater version is found, it calls gear-uupdate with correct options to perform gear repository update.

gear-remotes-uscan uses the following auxiliary scripts, if found and if they are executable: .gear/upstream/filter-tag is used to separate release tags from all tags found, and .gear/upstream/transform-tag is used to transform custom tags like RELEASE_1_0_1 to rpm version compatible look like 1.0.1. In other words, after you fetch remote commits, you should get a list of available upstream versions using
git tag | .gear/upstream/filter-tag | .gear/upstream/transform-tag
