The update command does not work with http clone

[TristanCacqueray]

Hi, it seems like the update command does not work with package cloned over http.

Here is what I did:

• git clone https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/supercollider
• update the version field of the specfile
• run fbrnch update

Here is what I got:

3.12.0
-> 3.12.2

Here is what I expected:

Finalizing the specfile (set Release back to 0 and add changelog entry)
Fetching the source with spectool
Updating the sources file
Uploading the new source to the lookaside cache

And perhaps the tool could have reminded me that:

• run fedpkg scratch-build --srpm to build in koji
• then run fedpkg push to submit the update
• then see this other doc to backport the change to a release branch

Currently I think it mostly works for repos cloned over ssh.
(There might be some unreleased tweaks for this in git - not sure have to check the logs.)

Here is the clone's .git/config:

[core]
	repositoryformatversion = 0
	filemode = true
	bare = false
	logallrefupdates = true
[remote "origin"]
	url = https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/supercollider
	fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
[branch "rawhide"]
	remote = origin
	merge = refs/heads/rawhide

I would recommend though to use fbrnch clone or at least fedpkg clone, which both default to ssh.

You are correct that https does work too apparently - whereas I was simplifying/assuming a https repo to be an anonymous checkout.

Maybe some user config could be added: like "prefer-https-to-ssh".
I probably won't get it that soon though.

It is also useful to have support for "anonymous checkouts" (eg if you are working on a host without your ssh keys or not a Fedora packager), and https: is probably the main way to do that currently (maybe git: also works).

And perhaps the tool could have reminded me that:

* run `fedpkg scratch-build --srpm` to build in koji

(You mean fbrnch scratch

* then run `fedpkg push` to submit the update

and fbrnch build ? ;o)

But I do like your idea of suggesting next steps... that would be friendly - let me see later...
