This is an Open Build Service source service. It downloads a tarball
from a remote URL and updates the .spec and .changes files with
git commit information from the github API.
The Version field will be set to %(git_latest_release)s.
Where git_latest_release is the tag_name as read from the GitHub
API call.
You need to have valid Release added to your repository. Without,
this service will not work. See github API LatestRelease.
On the first run, github_tarballs will just set the spec file's
Version field to the latest git release. The .changes file will only
be updated with commit message information when newer commits (compared
to the one now set in Version) are found. Comparison is made between
tags.
The github_tarballs service will also change the specfile's
Source: to the filename argument of the service and the %setup
-q line to match the parent folder name in the tarball.
The github API rate limits requests. The limit can be extended by using
github credentials to access the API. obs-service-github_tarballs
will read and use these credentials from the
.github_tarballs_credentials file in the current user's home
directory if it can. The file should contain one line with the standard
in standard HTTP BasicAuth format username:password.
Requires argparse which is part of python2.7, but available as a third-party dependency in python2.6.
The tests require python-mock. To run them, just use nosetests or
python -m unittest discover (on python2.7).

You can submit or ask for improvements using github's Pull Requests or Issues. If you're sending a patch, please make sure the testsuite is still running and also run flake8 on the files you've modified. It would be great if you could also modify this README file to describe new
functionality and add tests.
You can take a look at the .travis.yml file to see how the testsuite and flake8 are being run.
