Jvibuilder

JviBuilder will help you create debian packages from tar.gz source files.

How it works

This app was created to be used with Jenkins (https://jenkins-ci.org/) so, for that reason it takes a tar.gz source file from a specified URL. At the moment it does not support creating packages from local files.

Installation

Debian/Ubuntu

You need the following packages:

$ apt-get install python-pip dh-make fakeroot mongodb git

$ pip install daemon-runner pymongo PyYAML

$ git clone https://github.com/juanviola/jvi-builder.git

How to use it?

After installing, You'll need to start the jvibuilder daemon. So, enter to the jvi-builder directory and run the following.

$ ./jvibuilder.py start

You can check the logs in the jvi-builder/log directory to see if everythig is working as expected.

Do a manual push into the mongo database

$ mongo 

use jvi
db.packages.insert({
	'description': 'this is a testing package',
	'type': 'web',
	'version': 1,
	'release': 0,
	'name': 'my-appname',
	'opts': 'environment=prodcution package_installation_path=/tmp/my-appname',
	'url': 'http://localhost/my-appname-source.tar.gz
	'building': 0
}); 

Mongo PUSH required fields

• name -- Package name, ie: my-app-name will create the package my-app-name_1.0_i386.deb
• type -- The type will be the directory where it will look for the makefile to be run. ie: We will use the type=web so, the makefile to be used will be the one under jvibuilder/makefiles/web/Makefile
• version -- Version
• release -- Release
• opts [package_installation_path] -- Path to where this package has to be installed after the Debian dpkg was run
• url -- url to download the source package, ie: http://my.jenkins-server.com/my-appname-source.tar.gz
• building -- this field is required and the value allways is 0 (zero)

Mongo OPTIONAL fields

• description -- This is my application description
