dgroc: Daily Git Rebuild On Copr

This project aims at easily provide daily build of a project tracked via git and made available via copr.

Contents

• dgroc
• Get it running
  • The Main section
  • The project section
  • Run the project
  • Run dgroc daily

Get it running

• Retrieve the sources:

  git clone https://github.com/pypingou/dgroc.git
  

• Create the configuration file ~/.config/dgroc

• Fill the configuration file, for example:

  [main]
  username = me
  email = [email protected]
  copr_url = https://copr.fedoraproject.org/
  upload_command = cp %s /var/www/html/subsurface/
  upload_url = http://my_server/subsurface/%s
  #no_ssl_check = True  # No longer required now that copr has a valid cert
  
  [subsurface]
  git_url = git://subsurface.hohndel.org/subsurface.git
  git_folder = /tmp/subsurface/
  spec_file = ~/GIT/subsurface/subsurface.spec
  
  [guake]
  copr = subsurface
  git_url = https://github.com/Guake/guake.git
  git_folder = /tmp/guake/
  spec_file = ~/GIT/guake/guake.spec
  patch_files = ~/GIT/guake/guake-0.2.2-fix_vte.patch,
                ~/GIT/guake/0001-Remove-vte-check-in-the-configure.ac.patch
  

The Main section

username The name to use in the changelog of the spec file when updating it.

email The email to use in the changelog of the spec file when updating it.

copr_url The url of copr to use.

upload_command The command to run to make the source rpm (src.rpm, srpm) available to copr. This can be a copy command (cp) or a copy over ssh (scp). Note that the %s is important, it will be replaced by the full path to the source rpm created.

upload_url The url of the source rpm once it has been uploaded. Note that here as well the %s is important as it will be replaced by the source rpm file name.

For example, if you upload your source rpm onto your fedorapeople space, your upload_command might be: scp %s fedorapeople:public_html/srpms/ and your upload_url might be: https://pingou.fedorapeople.org/srpms/%s.

no_ssl_check Simple boolean to check the ssl certificate when starting the build on copr. At the moment the ssl certificate is self-signed and thus invalid. So using the https version of copr_url will require a no_ssl_check set to True.

copr_config The path to a config file with details about COPR connection. Go to the API page on your COPR instance to get the contents. This is useful if you want to use dgroc with different copr instances. Defaults to ~/.config/copr.

The project section

For each project, only three options are required:

git_url The url to the git repository, that is only required if the git repo is not already cloned on the disk (see git_folder).

git_folder The location of the local clone of the git repository to build.

spec_file The location of the spec file for the project to build.

patch_files A comma separated list of patches required to build the project. These files will be copied over to the rpm sourcedir to be present when building the source rpm.

copr The optional name of the copr repository to build the package within. When not set, the project name (from []) is used.

Note

The spec file should be fully functionnal as all dgroc will do is update the Source0, Release and add an entry in the Changelog.

Note

You might have to set in your spec file the %setup line to:

%setup -q -n <projectname>

Run the project

From the sources, it requires few steps:

• Install dependencies:

  yum install libgit2-devel python-virtualenvwrapper
  

• Create a virtual env:

  mkvirtualenv --system-site-packages dgroc
  

• Install the python dependencies:

  pip install -r requirements.txt
  

• Run dgroc:

  python dgroc.py
  

For more information/output run python dgroc.py --debug

Run dgroc daily

The easiest way to run dgroc daily is to simply rely on cron

Here is an example cron entry that you will need to adjust for your setup:

30 10 * * * python /home/pingou/dgroc/dgroc.py

This cron will run every day at 10:30 am and call the dgroc.py script within the dgroc clone
