Haikuporter

The HaikuPorter tool is provided to ease the fetching, patching and building of source code. It can be compared to a slim version of Gentoo Portage. Each port contains the Haiku specific patches to the original source code. It fetches the original source code, applies the Haiku-specific patches, builds the software, and packages it.

Detailed information available on the wiki.

Quick start

Single Machine (Haiku)

A single machine installation is for building individual packages.

Installation (Haiku)

HaikuPorts installation can be done via the following command sequence:

• git clone https://github.com/haikuports/haikuporter.git
• git clone https://github.com/haikuports/haikuports.git
• cd haikuporter
• cp haikuports-sample.conf /boot/home/config/settings/haikuports.conf # Copy the config file
• lpe ~/config/settings/haikuports.conf # and edit it

Build port

• ./haikuporter mesa --no-dependencies -j4

Multi-node cluster (Linux + Haiku)

A multi-node cluster is for mass building large numbers of packages.

Deploy buildmaster (Linux)

• git clone https://git.haiku-os.org/buildtools
• make -j2 -C buildtools/jam && sudo cp buildtools/jam/bin.*/jam /usr/local/bin/
• git clone https://git.haiku-os.org/haiku
• mkdir haiku/generated.tools
• cd haiku/generated.tools
• ../configure --build-cross-tools x86 ../../buildtools -j4
• jam -q \<build\>package
• sudo cp objects/linux/lib/* /usr/local/lib/
• sudo cp objects/linux/x*/release/tools/package/package /usr/local/bin/
• sudo ldconfig
• cd ../..
• git clone https://github.com/haikuports/haikuporter.git
• git clone https://github.com/haikuports/haikuports.git
• cd haikuporter
• ./buildmaster/createbuilder.sh
  • configure your first build slave with the prompts
• echo HAIKUPORTER=/home/pulkomandy/haiku/haikuporter/haikuporter > buildmaster/config
• Copy the packages from a nightly to ports/packages
• ./buildmaster/buildmaster.sh everything

Deploy buildslave (Haiku)

• Checkout Haikuporter and Haikuports, matching the paths specified in createbuilder.sh on buildmaster side
• Add the public key from the buildmaster to authorized_keys
• useradd sshd ; ssh-keygen -A
• Enable PermitRootLogin in /system/settings/ssh/sshd_config and make sure the path to the sftp server is correct
• install xz_utils_x86, lzip_x86 (required for extracting packages), patch (required for PATCH() function in some packages)
