---+ Procedures to create and release Standard LHCb RPMs

---++ Building C++ Project RPMs
ToDo: Explain how to use the lhcb-release slot

---++ Adding RPMs to the LHCb yum repository

The command *lb-release-rpm* was added for this purpose as from LbScripts v8r0p1
If <myreleasedir> is the directory containing the new RPMs, it is enough to do:

<verbatim>
lb-release-rpm <myreleasedir>
</verbatim>

Then check the output (this should only copy new RPMs not already in the repository)
If all seems fine, perform the actual copy by doing:
<verbatim>
lb-release-rpm <myreleasedir> --copy
</verbatim>

This command essentially does:
<verbatim>
cp <myreleasedir>/*.rpm $LHCBTAR/rpm/lhcb
createrepo --workers=20 --update $LHCBTAR/rpm/lhcb
</verbatim>







---+ Special RPMs (procedures for librarians)
---++ LHCbExternals: Meta RPMs for a version of LCG

First get a version of the LbNightlyTools and configure the environment:
<verbatim>
git clone http://git.cern.ch/pub/LbNightlyTools
cd LbNightlyTools
. ./setup.sh
</verbatim>


Then produce the spec file for the LHCbExternals version and create the RPM:
<verbatim>
lbn-generate-extspec LHCbExternals v68r0p1 x86_64-slc6-gcc48-opt -o my.spec
rpmbuild -bb my.spec

lbn-generate-extspec LHCbExternals v68r0p1 x86_64-slc6-gcc48-dbg -o mydbg.spec
rpmbuild -bb mydbg.spec
</verbatim>

(see https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LHCb/ProjectRelease for the creation of the externals project)
