Deployment Platform/Deployment
Summary
This is a Dextrose-3 based distribution that is being targeted to
- Fedora-14 on XO-1 and XO-1.5 laptops, and
- Trisquel-4.1 LTS for regular hardware.
In both cases, sugar packages are built on OBS in Hexokinase project from the same sources. And composed to XO and Trisquel images.
Sugar packages on OBS
This is about how to create downstream packages to include them later to resulting images.
Requirements
- Install sweets utility
Will be used for uploading package sources to the OBS. - Install gatch utility
Will be used for re-basing package sources to pull recent upstream changes. - Have Sugar Labs account to login to OBS (ping [[User::alsroot|alsroot]] to add your to Hexokinase project users).
Sources
For all packages, sources are being stored in Gitorious hexokinase project. Clone sources you want to create packages for.
All sugar* source repositories are downstream branches for dextrose-0.94 upstream branches from Gitorious SDK project. Thus, all of them are sweet projects and:
- can be launched in local environment without any packaging;
- contain sweets.recipe files that describe how to create packages on OBS.
Sources re-base
Since, sugar sources are downstream branches for SDK project, if upstream sources where changed, hexokinase sources need to be re-based. Go to the particular source directory and type:
gatch merge
Build packages
If sources were updated, to create new packages, go to the particular source directory and type:
sweets commit -m <COMMIT-DESCRIPTION>
The building process might be observed starting from OBS's monitor page. If build process is successful, the resulting packages will be hosted on download.sugarlabs.org site.
