dgroc: Daily Git Rebuild On Copr

This project aims at easily provide daily build of a project tracked via git and made available via copr.

Contents

• dgroc
• Get it running
  • Run the project
  • Run dgroc daily

Get it running

• Retrieve the sources:

  git clone https://github.com/tblah/dgroc.git
  

• Create the configuration file ~/.config/dgroc

• Fill the configuration file, for example:

  [main]
  username= me
  email = email@example.tld
  
  [subsurface]
  git_url = git://subsurface.hohndel.org/subsurface.git
  git_folder = /tmp/subsurface/
  spec_file = ~/GIT/subsurface/subsurface.spec
  
  [guake]
  copr = subsurface
  git_url = https://github.com/Guake/guake.git
  git_folder = /tmp/guake/
  spec_file = ~/GIT/guake/guake.spec
  patch_files = ~/GIT/guake/guake-0.2.2-fix_vte.patch,
                ~/GIT/guake/0001-Remove-vte-check-in-the-configure.ac.patch
  

For each project, only three options are required:

git_url The url to the git repository, that is only required if the git repo is not already cloned on the disk (see git_folder).

git_folder The location of the local clone of the git repository to build.

spec_file The location of the spec file for the project to build.

patch_files A comma separated list of patches required to build the project. These files will be copied over to the rpm sourcedir to be present when building the source rpm.

copr The optional name of the copr repository to build the package within. When not set, the project name (from []) is used.

Note

The spec file should be fully functionnal as all dgroc will do is update the Source0, Release and add an entry in the Changelog.

Note

You might have to set in your spec file the %setup line to:

%setup -q -n <projectname>

Run the project

From the sources, it requires few steps:

• Install dependencies:

  dnf install libgit2-devel python-pygit2 copr-cli
  

• Make sure that you have a valid Copr API Token:: See https://copr.fedoraproject.org/api/

• Run dgroc:

  python2 dgroc.py
  

For more information/output run python2 dgroc.py --debug

Run dgroc daily

The easiest way to run dgroc daily is to simply rely on cron

Here is an example cron entry that you will need to adjust for your setup:

30 10 * * * python2 /home/pingou/dgroc/dgroc.py

This cron will run every day at 10:30 am and call the dgroc.py script within the dgroc clone
