Notepad Building Packages

FOSSology uses Project Builder to build packages for different Linux distributions.

As of Jan 2017, the packages build process is almost (=not) finished. This page documents status and currently available facilities.

Development and Testing with Vagrant

In the file pbconf/Vagrantfile a setup is provided for building packages for development and debugging purposes w.r.t. to building packages (not FOSSology itself). Just execute

vagrant up

and see what happens. Required is a working Internet connection that also allows for FTP access. The package will be built inside the virtual machine in the pbbuild folder.

Scripts for the Jenkins Server

The packages for releasing FOSSology are build on a Jenkins server. For this server two main scripts are provided:

pbconf/ci-scripts/fo-installdeps-pb.sh

pbconf/ci-scripts/fo-dockerbuild-pb.sh

The script fo-installdeps-pb.sh installs the dependencies on the machine. It is mainly docker and project builder for running containers with project builder in it on different Linux distros.

The script fo-dockerbuild-pb.sh runs the docker infrastructure to run different Linux distros. Inside the container, project builder builds the packages.
