This PR is working towards doing packaging via pantsbuild. Eventually, I hope to archive and stop using st2-packages.git.
This PR is the last (planned) packaging PR that edits a deb maintainer script and an rpm scriptlet.
As noted in #6319, I did not expand the debhelper snippets and rpm macros that manage building the
/opt/stackstorm/st2virtualenv. Instead of expanding them, this PR replaces them with logic that is uniform for both deb and rpm. This replacement avoids the dh_virtualenv debhelper that is unsupported upstream, and skips the complexity of using the external tool we used in rpms.This PR makes the rpm/deb post-install scripts:
pex_binaryBUILD metadata for building st2 venv #6307/opt/stackstorm/packsand/usr/share/doc/st2/examples.makeself_archivefor each pack to facilitate installation #6311The deb / rpm packages will need to place the pex and pack archives somewhere so that they are available during the when the post-install script runs. So, a big question is: Where should we put these files? Here are some options
/opt/stackstorm/install/st2*.pex/opt/stackstorm/install/packs/*.tgz.run/usr/share/st2/install/st2*.pex/usr/share/st2/install/packs/*.tgz.run/usr/share/st2/archives/st2*.pex/usr/share/st2/archives/packs/*.tgz.run/usr/share/doc/st2/install/st2*.pex/usr/share/doc/st2/install/packs/*.tgz.run/usr/share/doc/st2/archives/st2*.pex/usr/share/doc/st2/archives/packs/*.tgz.runThis PR uses option 1. I think my second choice would be option 3. Any other ideas? Where should we put these install archives?
