Local Mer
Local Mer
A “local Mer” setup is the term given to the local OBS setup you need if you want to do a clean build of Mer.
Why?
- Independence
- Project configuration changes (build flags, etc)
- Paranoia
- Experiments
- …
The process has the following steps - repeat for whatever architectures are needed: i586 is mandatory and must be first:
- Create local project
- Set the target schedulers
- Setup a suitable prjconf
- Create a linkpac for each of the packages
- Allow the local build to take place
- Remove the remote link
Notes:
Limitations in the current OBS mean we can’t use normal linked builds because it doesn’t disable all i586 builds except the ones we want
A typical session looks like this:
BS_ARCH=armv7l BS_SCHED=armv7el osc -A merci meta prj Core:${BS_ARCH} -F - <<EOF <project name="Core:${BS_ARCH}"> <title></title> <description> </description> <person role="maintainer" userid="Admin"/> <person role="bugowner" userid="Admin"/> <debuginfo> <disable/> </debuginfo> <build> <enable/> </build> <publish> <enable/> </publish> <repository name="Core_${BS_ARCH}"> <arch>i586</arch> <arch>${BS_SCHED}</arch> </repository> </project> EOF osc -A merci ls fakeobs:Core:${BS_ARCH} | xargs -L1 -Ixxx osc -A merci linkpac -c fakeobs:Core:${BS_ARCH} xxx Core:${BS_ARCH} xxx # Crude check there were no errors osc -A merci ls fakeobs:Core:${BS_ARCH} | sort > /tmp/fake-list osc -A merci ls Core:${BS_ARCH} | sort > /tmp/bs-list diff /tmp/fake-list /tmp/bs-list # Copy the prjconf osc -A merci meta prjconf fakeobs:Core:${BS_ARCH} | osc -A merci meta prjconf Core:${BS_ARCH} -F - # Add in the paths echo "Please add:" echo '<path repository="Core_i586" project="Core:i586"/>' echo ';<path repository="Core_${BS_ARCH}" project="fakeobs:Core:${BS_ARCH}"/>' osc -A merci meta prj Core:${BS_ARCH} -e
At this point you chould check the project monitor page for any broken projects - these should be manually linkpac’ed again eg:
echo -e "elfutils-libelf-x86\nmeego-cross-armv7hl-sysroot" | xargs -L1 -Ixxx osc -A merci linkpac -c fakeobs:Core:${BS_ARCH} xxx Core:${BS_ARCH} xxx
Now wait for the project to rebuild. The following command is interesting:
watch osc -A merci jobhistory Core:${BS_ARCH} Core_${BS_ARCH} ${BS_SCHED}
Once this is done edit the project and remove the fakeobs:Core lines
osc -A merci meta prj Core:${BS_ARCH} | grep -v fakeobs | osc -A merci meta prj Core:${BS_ARCH} -F -
