Release Infrastructure/Packaging

The infrastructure team has to package various scripts and applications for our target distributions: openSuse and Debian.

Dependencies

When 'standard' modules and libraries are used they should be packaged for deployment

Ruby

openSuse

Should be done in an openSuse VM.

Tools:

 zypper in rubygem-gem2rpm rake ruby-bundler meld dbus-1-x11

Create an OBS project targeting devel:languages:ruby:extensions eg:

<project name="home:lbt:ruby">  
  <title>ruby</title>  
  <description>Packages intended for d:l:r:e
  
</description>  
  <person role="maintainer" userid="lbt"/>  
  <person role="bugowner" userid="lbt"/>  
  <repository name="devel_languages_ruby_extensions_devel_languages_ruby_openSUSE_11.2">  
    <path project="devel:languages:ruby:extensions" repository="devel_languages_ruby_openSUSE_11.2"/>  
    <arch>x86_64</arch>  
    <arch>i586</arch>  
  </repository>  
  <repository name="devel_languages_ruby_extensions_devel_languages_ruby_openSUSE_11.3">  
    <path project="devel:languages:ruby:extensions" repository="devel_languages_ruby_openSUSE_11.3"/>  
    <arch>x86_64</arch>  
    <arch>i586</arch>  
  </repository>  
</project>

Use this script to fetch and prepare a gem package

Note that some validation is done and changes to the gems may be needed.

The gem can be manipulated by using:

gem unpack TheGem.gem
# edit data and change version
gem build TheGem.gemspec
