for reference: this isn't a real meeting, we are rather logging a way of creating a customized SoaS. |
| 07:02 |

#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 |
