gear-remotes-watch - check for updates in git repo listed in .gear/upstream/remotes file

SYNOPSIS

gear-remotes-watch [-h|--help] [-v|--verbose] [-q|--quiet] [--action command]

DESCRIPTION

gear-remotes-watch checks for updates in foreign upstream git repository(ies) listed in .gear/upstream/remotes file. For that gear-remotes-watch 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, notification is issued.

gear-remotes-watch 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
