Packages

A package is a way of distributing a given application with it's dependencies. All of this functionality is present in OPS proper but the package interface allows users to distribute their packages as a bundled resource without having to compile or add missing dependencies.

Sometimes this is OS related and sometimes it's application specific but for OPS purpose there's no difference.

Think of common software that you would sudo apt-get install or web frameworks with native dependencies or something of that sort - it's not intended for developer specific in-house applications.

Ready to create your own package?

Create Directory

For example if we want to make a package for Lua 5.2.4 we'd have the following:

export PKGNAME=lua
export PKGVERSION=5.2.4

mkdir $PKGNAME_$PKGVERSION

Populate it

For example:

eyberg@s1:~/plz/lua_5.2.4$ tree
.
├── lua
├── package.manifest
└── sysroot
    ├── lib
    │   └── x86_64-linux-gnu
    │       ├── libc.so.6
    │       ├── libdl.so.2
    │       ├── libm.so.6
    │       ├── libreadline.so.6
    │       └── libtinfo.so.5
    └── lib64
        └── ld-linux-x86-64.so.2

4 directories, 8 files

Your package.manifest should look something like this:

{
   "Program":"lua_5.2.4/lua",
   "Args" : ["lua"],
   "Version":"5.2.4"
}

In many cases this is a dump from ldd:

eyberg@s1:~/plz/lua_5.2.4$ ldd lua
        linux-vdso.so.1 =>  (0x00007ffd18bf3000)
        libreadline.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libreadline.so.6 (0x00007f74e8836000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6 (0x00007f74e852d000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdl.so.2 (0x00007f74e8329000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007f74e7f5f000)
        libtinfo.so.5 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtinfo.so.5 (0x00007f74e7d36000)
        /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f74e8a7c000)

Don't forget libnss, libresolv and friends. This all assumes you are using libc which will be necessary for ordinary applications.

/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnss_dns.so.2

/etc/ssl/certs

Tar it up

The name needs to reflect this format:

tar czf $PKGNAME_PKGVERSION.tar.gz $PKGNAME_$PKGVERSION

Update the manifest.json

Update the manifest.

gsutil cp gs://packagehub/manifest.json .

shasum -a 256 "$PKG_NAME"_"$PKGVERSION"

  "lua_5.2.4": {
      "runtime" : "lua",
      "version": "5.2.4",
      "language": "lua",
      "description": "lua",
      "shasum256":"deadbeefdeadbeefdeadbeefdeadbeefdeadbeefdeadbeefdeadbeefdeadbeef"
  },

Upload

We'll add a small service for this in the near future depending on demand but for now you can just email support with your pkg.

gsutil cp ~/$lang_$version.tar.gz gs://packagehub/$lang_version.tar.gz
gsutil -D setacl public-read gs://packagehub/$lang_$version.tar.gz
gsutil -D setacl public-read gs://packagehub/manifest.json

NOTE

For some crazy reason google doesn't update the last-modified header and it gets cached for a while.

I've tried looking at this but that doesn't seem to work either. https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/gsutil/commands/setmeta

The default value seems to be one hour cache.

Backup/Restore:

gsutil rsync -r gs://packagehub .
