There are a number of scripts that can update the following repositories:
- https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/devel:languages:perl:autoupdate
- https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/devel:languages:perl:CPAN-A (B, C, D etc.)
This is how a crontab could look like:
0 2 * * * $HOME/cpanspec/bin/fetch-cpan.sh > $HOME/obs-mirror/logs/cpan.log 2>&1
0 3 * * * $HOME/cpanspec/bin/update-autoupdate.sh > $HOME/obs-mirror/logs/autoupdate.log 2>&1
0 4 * * * $HOME/cpanspec/bin/update-dlp-cpan.sh > $HOME/obs-mirror/logs/cpanupdate.log 2>&1
First you need to create ~/obs-mirror and ~/obs-mirror/logs.
The fetch-cpan.sh will fetch the list of currently indexed modules from CPAN.
update-autoupdate.sh will update the
autoupdate
repository. It will branch projects from
devel:languages:perl
and build the newest version from CPAN.
Requests for submitting the new versions into devel:languages:perl have to be
created manually. See below.
update-dlp-cpan.sh will update the CPAN-A, B, C repositories.
To get the current status you can use these commands:
./bin/status-perl --project devel:languages:perl:autoupdate --data ~/obs-mirror
This will show how many modules in devel:languages:perl are outdated.
./bin/status --data ~/obs-mirror --project devel:languages:perl:CPAN- [W]
the same for the CPAN-A, B, C repositories.
Some modules can't be updated automatically via this script for different
reasons.
To prevent them from showing up in autoupdate, you can remove them and set the
status from todo to error in ~/obs-mirror/status/perl.tsv. For example,
the latest Nagios::Plugin release is just a placeholder to say that there will
be no more releases, so perl.tsv contains:
Nagios-Plugin\terror\t...
You can run the bin/update and bin/update-perl scripts with certain
options:
--max 150
This will end the script after 150 updates
--ask
This will prompt for every module if you want to update it
--ask-commit
This will generate the spec, but ask before committing
For the CPAN-<letter> projects there is a cache in:
~/obs-mirror/obs-cache/
It caches the versions that are already in OBS, because the returned version via the OBS API is not reliable. The format is Perl Storable.
If you are moving this project to a different server or directory, you should keep the cache directory, becase refilling the cache can take days and will do a lot of API requests.
Go to https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/devel:languages:perl:autoupdate and click on the package you want to submit to devel:languages:perl.
Click on "link diff" to see the changes. This link might not be available in every case (I don't know why). In that case click on the revisions to see the changes.
If the build is passing and the diff looks ok, click on "Submit package". The changes will automatically be filled in. Check "Remove local package if request is accepted" and click on "Create".
# Get newest modules from CPAN
# It might take a while until a module is mirrored
./bin/fetch-cpan --data ~/obs-mirror
# Update status which perl modules need to be updated
./bin/status-perl --data ~/obs-mirror --project devel:languages:perl:autoupdate --update
# Update
./bin/update-perl --data ~/obs-mirror --project devel:languages:perl:autoupdate --package Mojolicious
Now go to https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/devel:languages:perl:autoupdate/perl-Mojolicious and create a Submit Request.
