The Meego Online Build System (OBS) seems rather complicated, this page will attempt to make it nice and easy to get started.

It's a work in progress, feel free to add and modify!

Contents 1 Pre-requisites 2 Setting up your home project 3 Setting up a sub-project 3.1 Adding files to a sub-project and building them

Pre-requisites

• You need a meego.com login to be able to access the OBS
• You need to be running one of the supported OSes (see list here: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/Tools/)

• Install osc (for example, apt-get install osc may work out-of-the-box on recent versions of Ubuntu & Debian, otherwise add a repository for your distro from openSUSE tools

Setting up your home project

Your home project is like a home directory in which you can create sub-projects, repositories, etc.

• Visit the OBS page (https://build.pub.meego.com)
• Log in and click on 'create home project' (down at the bottom of the page iirc)

Setting up a sub-project

• In the overview tab, click on Actions and select "Create subproject".

Adding files to a sub-project and building them

From the terminal:

• Checkout your empty project (like SVN)

 osc -A https://api.pub.meego.com co home:[username]

• Add files to your local copy
  • For Meego this will be a .spec file and a tarball containing your source code, etc.
  • For Harmattan this will be a .dsc file, source tarball plus debian.tar.gz (this allows one to keep the debian directory out of the source)

 osc -A https://api.pub.meego.com add [filename]

• Commit the files

 osc -A https://api.pub.meego.com commit

At this point the OBS will try to build your project remotely. You can also build locally by doing osc build

Using the webinterface:

• Add the correct files as listed above and they will be automatically built for you
