Getting started with the build system

To get started you will need to activate your MeeGo account for OBS. Upon initial login you will be guided through a mini-process to set up your home repository.

After this it's a good idea to set up osc in the Mer Platform SDK with the new account. osc is a command line front-end for the build service. When issuing osc help for the first time you will be guided through a mini-process to set up a local default configuration. After the initial set-up completed just fire up your favorite editor and open the file ~/.oscrc. In the file, change

 apiurl = https://api.opensuse.org

to

 apiurl = https://api.pub.meego.com

Alternatively you can follow the more detailed instructions here: Osc_Setup

Further down in the same file you will find a config section named [https://api.opensuse.org]. Change the section name to [https://api.pub.meego.com], and set the corresponding user = and pass = config options to match your MeeGo account.

You can test your osc set-up by issuing

 osc ll

which should produce a list of all projects on the MeeGo build server.

A more comprehensive "OBS getting started" page is at the MeeGo wiki.

In each project there are two sets of repositories. One repository chain that builds against current release of Mer Core and another that builds against the "next" prerelease of Mer Core (identifiable by "Mer_Core-next" in their name).
