| 07:01 | erikos | sdziallas: ok |
| 07:02 | sdziallas | for reference: this isn't a real meeting, we are rather logging a way of creating a customized SoaS. |
| 07:02 | erikos | #TOPIC customizing Soas |
| 07:02 | sdziallas: yup ;p | |
| 07:02 | sdziallas | alright, let's start with what we have (let me generalize it real quick). |
| 07:03 | say you've a certain patch and re-created the sugar .rpm. now you want a custom SoaS build with some other minor modifications. | |
| 07:03 | erikos: let's start with the .rpm package we've. | |
| 07:04 | erikos | sdziallas: ok |
| 07:04 | sdziallas | #link http://koji.fedoraproject.org/[…]fo?taskID=1967329 |
| 07:04 | erikos | this is a tarball contining a patch for a test |
| 07:04 | we will do in two Sugar pilots | |
| 07:05 | sdziallas | nods. |
| 07:05 | so first we'll need to grab it and place it locally in some folder. | |
| 07:06 | erikos | ok |
| 07:06 | sdziallas | #action download the .rpm file and place it in a folder |
| 07:06 | once it's there in a folder (how it's called doesn't matter), we can create a repository. | |
| 07:07 | (let's imagine the folder is called "repo" for now) | |
| 07:07 | erikos | sdziallas: ok |
| 07:07 | sdziallas | #action create the repo by running "createrepo ./repo" |
| 07:07 | (that wasn't too hard, heh) | |
| 07:07 | erikos | sdziallas: did you run that on the build machine now? |
| 07:08 | sdziallas | erikos: no... well, we can even do that locally, that doesn't matter where you do it. |
| 07:08 | erikos | sdziallas: ok |
| 07:08 | sdziallas | erikos: but I guess I should do it, hang on. |
| 07:09 | erikos | sdziallas: well, I can do it here |
| 07:09 | sdziallas | erikos: okay :) practice is good. |
| 07:10 | erikos | sdziallas: :) |
| 07:10 | Directory ./repo must exist | |
| 07:10 | zzz :) | |
| 07:10 | sdziallas | erikos: indeed :p |
| 07:11 | erikos | ok: mkdir repo |
| 07:11 | sdziallas | you need to run createrepo on the folder you placed the rpm in. |
| 07:11 | erikos | put the rpm in the folder, and run createrepo |
| 07:11 | [erikos laptop Desktop]$ createrepo ./repo |
|
| 07:11 | 1/1 - sugar-0.87.4-1.fc13.noarch.rpm | |
| 07:11 | Saving Primary metadata | |
| 07:11 | Saving file lists metadata | |
| 07:11 | Saving other metadata | |
| 07:11 | sdziallas | awesome! |
| 07:11 | erikos | then we get something like this |
| 07:12 | sdziallas | it says that it's successful :) |
| 07:12 | erikos | yup |
| 07:12 | sdziallas | now you'll need to upload it somewhere, probably your sugarlabs account or so. |
| 07:13 | erikos | ok |
| 07:14 | sdziallas | #action upload the newly created repository somewhere |
| 07:14 | erikos | http://shell.sugarlabs.org/~erikos/repo/ |
| 07:14 | sdziallas: ^^^ | |
| 07:14 | sdziallas | erikos: nice! |
| 07:15 | it might be sensible to put the .src.rpm in the repo, too (and re-run createrepo and upload it), but let's move on for now. | |
| 07:15 | erikos | ok |
| 07:15 | sdziallas | #action check out the soas kickstart files |
| 07:15 | that works by doing: git clone git://git.fedorahosted.org/spin-kickstarts.git | |
| 07:16 | erikos: I suppose I should do that on the buildslave, right? | |
| 07:16 | erikos | sdziallas: yeah, lets build on the buildslave |
| 07:16 | sdziallas: do I have access there? | |
| 07:16 | sdziallas | erikos: good question :) |
| 07:17 | erikos: it's a VM on bender. | |
| 07:17 | erikos: silbe can get you access if you haven't, yet. | |
| 07:17 | erikos | sdziallas: the address, again? |
| 07:17 | sugarlabs1.xen.prgmr.com ? | |
| 07:17 | or the second one? | |
| 07:17 | sdziallas | erikos: I'm usually ssh'ing into bender and then into buildslave-fedora-12-32bit |
| 07:17 | erikos: those are the old ones | |
| 07:17 | erikos | ok |
| 07:25 | sdziallas | erikos: okay, so you can git clone that repository into your account on the build machine |
| 07:26 | erikos | sdziallas: done |
| 07:26 | sdziallas | erikos: then you'll want to open the fedora-livecd-soas.ks |
| 07:26 | #action add the repository you just created to the kickstart file | |
| 07:27 | erikos: such a line at the top of the file should work: | |
| 07:27 | repo --name=sugar --baseurl=http://shell.sugarlabs.org/~erikos/repo/ | |
| 07:27 | erikos | sdziallas: done |
| 07:29 | sdziallas | erikos: you'll need to remove the Fedora branding in case you want this build to be public, which can be done by adding a few lines like: -fedora-logos -fedora-release -fedora-release-notes generic-logos generic-release generic-release-notes |
| 07:29 | (each of these into a line) | |
| 07:30 | #action remove branding if you want to have your build public | |
| 07:31 | erikos | sdziallas: ok |
| 07:32 | sdziallas: I will do it then to learn | |
| 07:32 | sdziallas | (if you don't want to distribute it online, you're fine) |
| 07:32 | erikos | ok |
| 07:32 | sdziallas | (it'll leave you with the hot-dog, though) |
| 07:32 | (we're working on fixing that) | |
| 07:32 | erikos | hmmm, ok - i will leave it then like that |
| 07:33 | sdziallas | alright... now you're already good to build :) |
| 07:34 | #action invoke livecd-creator to build the fedora-livecd-soas kickstart file | |
| 07:34 | (actually, we should probably use some common cache directory on the build machine for all of us) | |
| 07:34 | erikos | sdziallas: ahh, yeah that would make sense |
| 07:34 | sdziallas | let's ask silbe where he prefers that directory |
| 07:35 | erikos | ok |
| 07:37 | sdziallas | mhm. well, essentially, that's already it. |
| 07:38 | erikos: I guess we can close the session and you can build as soon as he replies. | |
| 07:38 | erikos | ok |
| 07:38 | #endmeeting |
