This library provides a high level package-manager. It uses librepo and hawkey under the hood.
LGPLv2+
Packages needed for the build, or the build requires:
- make
- check-devel
- cmake
- gcc
- libsolv-devel
- libsolv-tools
- librepo-devel
- python-devel (or python3-devel for Python 3 build)
- python-nose (or python3-nose for Python 3 build)
- rpm-devel
- glib2-devel
- gtk-doc
- gobject-introspection-devel
- python-sphinx
From the checkout dir::
mkdir build
cd build/
cmake .. # add '-DPYTHON_DESIRED="3"' option for Python 3 build
make
Building the documentation, from the build/ directory::
make doc
All unit tests should pass after the build finishes:
cd build/tests
make tests
There are two parts of unit tests: unit tests in C and unit tests in Python. To run the C part of the tests manually, from hawkey checkout::
build/tests/test_main tests/repos/
Manually executing the Python tests::
PYTHONPATH=`readlink -f ./build/src/python/` nosetests -s tests/python/tests/
The PYTHONPATH is unfortunately needed as the Python test suite needs to know where to import the built hawkey modules.
See the hawkey documentation page <http://hawkey.readthedocs.org>_.
Information internal to the hawkey development is maintained on a github wiki <https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf/wiki#wiki-Contact>_.
