Builder-RPM

Welcome to our vagrant based build system for RPMs.

If you need assistence you can (almost) always reach us on IRC, channel #eox

(Currently) Supported Projects

Currently we automagically install the build dependencies for the following projects. For an up-to-date list (in case somebody forgot to add his project to thos list, see puppet/modules).

eox-release (which doesn't have any, so it's easy)
mapserver
rasdaman
eoxserver
mapserver
mapcache
gdal-shibboleth
ngeo-b

If your software mentions all build dependencies in its SPEC file, you don't need to create a new puppet module.

Vagrant Installation

Previously you could install vagrant via rubygems (e.g. using bundler), but since 1.1.x this method is deprecated, so please go to http://downloads.vagrantup.com/ and download the latest package for your operating system. On Debian / Ubuntu run the f.ex. following command.

gem uninstall vagrant
wget http://files.vagrantup.com/packages/87613ec9392d4660ffcb1d5755307136c06af08c/vagrant_x86_64.deb
sudo dpkg -i vagrant_x86_64.deb

Install a vagrant plugin to keep the virtualbox guest additions up-to-date, as well as one for keeping a package cache.

vagrant plugin install vagrant-vbguest
vagrant plugin install vagrant-cachier

To start building

Clone this project!

git clone https://gitlab.eox.at/vagrant/builder_rpm.git ./

Edit the Vagrantfile and update the project (see the beginning of Vagrantfile)

Copy your source archive into the build/SOURCES folder, your spec file into the build/SPECS folder, start the VM and open a SSH connection

vagrant up
vagrant ssh

Change to the rpmbuild folder and start building

cd rpmbuild
yum-builddep SPECS/project.spec
rpmdev-bumpspec --comment="<COMMENT>" --userstring="<NAME> <<MAIL>>" SPECS/project.spec
rpmbuild -ba SPECS/project.spec

Wait... On your own machine, you can now find your RPMs in the build/RPMS and build/SRPMS folders. Done!

How to add a new project

Find out, what the projects build dependencies are
Create a new puppet module inside the puppet/modules directory. (See the rasdaman module for an example)
Update the Readme.md and add the new project
Create a merge request

If you are not sure, you can also email the build dependencies to marko.locher@eox.at and I'll do it for you!
