Package Management and Development
Overview
Like other Linux distros, MeeGo is a package-based system, and it is using RPM package end. The RPM packages are managed in Zypper repos. The MeeGo development is using Open Build Service (OBS) to manage and build packages. If you are a serious and frequent MeeGo contributor, you need an OBS account to commit your changes back to MeeGo. Casual contributors can work without using OBS, and submit your changes back into MeeGo through the mailing list or work with the package maintainers to submit changes.
The overall processes of development with and without an OBS account are shown in the right figures. Detail description of the processes can be found below.
Development with MeeGo OBS account
- Request a new OBS account
- OBS WebUI: Login and first steps
- OBS WebUI: Link packages and adding a repository
- How to use the command line client for daily operations
- Using OBS chroot for development
- Create image based on new RPM
- Troubleshooting
Development without MeeGo OBS account
- Build and develop packages without OBS
- Example: Recompile kernel
- How to development with multiple packages with dependencies
- Create image based on new RPM
Packaging
Submission to MeeGo
- Checklist for new package submissions
- Developer's checklist for code submissions
- irc / mailing lists / contact
Software Repo
Developer Tools
Image Creation
OBS command line
- Part 1 - initial setup
- Part 2 - checkout & branch
- Part 3 - commit & request
- Part 4 - more commands: localcheckbuild
