Localcheckbuild

localcheckbuild tool is one osc plugin which is used to list the dependant package list and local-build them with the new update packages to ensure the update works fine.All the build work will implement in your local machine, it doesn’t create any linking/copying on Server side.

workflow

The workflow of this plugin is:

• Check packages in repos of Trunk:Testing, Trunk:Netbook, Trunk:Handset, Trunk:IVI to get the package list which depends on the one you want to check(reuse “osc resolvedeps” plugin);
• Download new RPMs of your updated package and check out the sources of packages in dependant list;
• Runn “osc build –prefer-pkgs=xxx” to build the package and check the result in the list one by one. --prefer-pkgs option ensures it uses the new updated RPMs when installing the build-root.

Installation

• Ensure the osc local build tool works in the silent mode, please add below lines to your /etc/sudoers:

  Defaults    env_keep += "http_proxy no_proxy HTTP_PROXY NO_PROXY"
  $YOUR_USERNAME         ALL=(ALL)       NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/build

• Download and install/upgrade packages to the latest version:osc, meego-osc-plugins, build packages from http://download.meego.com/live/devel:/tools:/building.
  

• Enable the local build support for arm arch:
  
  • Ubuntu: install package qemu-kvm-extras-static.
    
  • Opensuse: install package qemu-svn. (http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/Tools)
    
  • Fedora: install package qemu-svn. (This package doesn't include in fedora repo, you can install it from opensuse repos. Eg: qemu-svn-0.11git2009.08.10.0340-12.7.i586.rpm from http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/Tools/openSUSE_11.2/i586)

Usage

  osc localcheckbuild [-r] [-y] [--repourl=TEXT] [--excludepkgs=TEXT] [--buildpkgs=TEXT] PRJECTNAME PACKAGENAME REPOSITORY ARCH
The arguments REPOSITORY and ARCH are the first two columns in the 'osc repos' output.
Examples:
      osc localcheckbuild devel:qt-mtf qt testing i586
Options:
    -h, --help         show this help message and exit
    --repourl=TEXT     Repository of the new package, default is the OBS download repository
    --buildpkgs=TEXT   The package list that will be built, the tool will skip checking dependencies and build the packages in
                       this list directly, example: --buildpkgs="at-spi gtk2"
    --excludepkgs=TEXT
                       The package list that will not be built, example: --excludepkgs="bash gcc"
    -c, --continuebuild
                       Continue the build check, it will skip the packages that have been built
    -y, --yes          Answer yes for all questions
    -r, --recursive    Check recursively if all the packages which depends on me can be built successfully

#osc localcheckbuild devel:qt-mtf qt testing i586

Log file: /var/tmp/buildcheck-qt-i586/buildcheck-qt.log.
  Total: 43, success: 41, fail: 2
  Failure list: 
    Trunk:Netbook/vym : Build failed.
    Trunk:Handset/meegotouchcp-connman : Build failed.
  *Please check logfile in /var/tmp/buildcheck-qt-i586/LOG for more details.

Be noted that it may take a few hours to implement the build work which depends on the length of the dependant package list and the network speed. So you might find this tool very useful as trying to upgrade a package. Before you submit a sr in devel:qt-mtf, using it if it breaks anything in Trunk:Testing and Trunk:Handset should be a good idea. It’s easy to use. I ever tried Qt, it takes just four hours to local build all packages having dependencies on Qt, in an i5 machine, actually much time spent on downloading. You can also exclude some packages or specify some packages to check. In the future we could include/exclude a specific project to check, in the plate already. Your comments are really appreciated. You can also exclude some packages and specify some packages to check

# Only build meegotouchcp-connman vym packages
osc localcheckbuild devel:qt-mtf qt testing i586 --buildpkgs="meegotouchcp-connman vym"
# Do not build buteo-mtp  buteo-sync-plugins  buteo-syncfw packages
osc localcheckbuild devel:qt-mtf qt testing i586 --excludepkgs="buteo-mtp  buteo-sync-plugins  buteo-syncfw"

Todo list

• Support the option of excluding or specifying a specific project in OBS
• Better analysis and sum-up for the build failure result and error handling
