Like other Linux distros, MeeGo is a package-based system, and it is using [http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm/index.html RPM] package end. The RPM packages are managed in [http://wiki.meego.com/Zypper Zypper] repos. The MeeGo development is using [http://wiki.opensuse.org/Portal:Build_Service 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 [http://lists.meego.com/mailman/listinfo 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.

Yanli: /* Overview */ Drafted overview paragraph.

This page describes basic information you needed if you want to contribute to MeeGo. Target audience is community member who wish to involve in MeeGo development.

== 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 done by using [[Open Build System]] (OBS). If you are a serious and frequent MeeGo contributor, you need an OBS account to commit your changes back to MeeGo. Other casual contributors can work without using OBS, but you need a MeeGo development team member to help review and commit your changes into MeeGo.

TODO: Two flowcharts: one is how to development with OBS, the other is the workflow of how to development without using OBS.

Create and update repos

2011-07-01T07:34:04Z

Yanli: Added "requirement" section.

This page describes the basic steps to create and update a Zypper repo that can be used with MeeGo systems.

== Why and when should I create a new repo? ==

== Requirements ==
A useful repo should reside on a web server that your MeeGo client machines can access. The only requirement on the host server is that it runs an HTTP service and can share a directory. Either Linux or Windows IIS are fine. If you are using Windows as a web server, you do need another Linux machine to create and maintain the repo.

Local Build Without OBS Needed

2011-02-14T07:42:35Z

Yanli: need qemu-user-static on Debian

This page is for people who want to avoid any connection with any OBS backend - ie "as raw as possible".

If you simply want to do a local build then you probably want "osc build" which does almost everything for you.
see [[Build_Infrastructure/Packagers_Developers]]

== Building your package using build ==

A more convenient package build way is to use 'build' which is a project from OpenSUSE, MeeGo build infrastructure used it.

You can get build binary package from http://repo.meego.com/MeeGo/tools/repos/ per your Linux distribution, if your Linux distribution isn't there, you can get build source package from http://www.gitorious.org/opensuse/build to build it yourself manually.

After you install it ( I suppose you know how to install a package on your Linux), you can run “build –help” to get help info.

You must run build as root. If your network needs proxy, please export proxy environment variables, for example:

<pre>
export http_proxy=http://proxy.yourcompany.com:8080/
export no_proxy=localhost,127.0.0.0/8,.yourcompany.com, 172.16.0.0/16
</pre>

If you used to run “sudo build …” and your network needs proxy, please ensure sudo to inherit proxy environment variables, you can do this by adding the below line to /etc/sudoers

<pre>
Defaults env_keep += "http_proxy no_proxy HTTP_PROXY NO_PROXY"
</pre>

build also will check rpm package signature, so you must import public key of repository you're using, for example:

For http://repo.meego.com/MeeGo/builds/trunk/preview/core/repos/ia32/packages/

You can get its public key for http://repo.meego.com/MeeGo/builds/trunk/preview/core/repos/ia32/packages/repodata/repomd.xml.key

<pre>
$ wget http://repo.meego.com/MeeGo/builds/trunk/preview/core/repos/ia32/packages/repodata/repomd.xml.key
$ sudo rpm --import repomd.xml.key
</pre>

This command will build a cpio binary package for MeeGo.

<pre>
build --repository http://repo.meego.com/MeeGo/builds/trunk/preview/core/repos/ia32/packages/ --arch i686 cpio-2.11-2.6.src.rpm
</pre>

Optionally, you also can use spec file to build it, for this case, build will find your source tar ball and patches under current work dir.

<pre>
build --repository http://repo.meego.com/MeeGo/builds/trunk/preview/core/repos/ia32/packages/ --arch i686 cpio.spec
</pre>

build will base your repo URL to cache your repo, so please use the same URL string for the same repo every time (URL with / at the end of it and the same URL without / at the end of it will result in different cache dirs), you can use multiple --repository options to specify multiple repos, for example:

<pre>
build --repository http://repo.meego.com/MeeGo/builds/trunk/preview/core/repos/ia32/packages/ \
--repository http://repo.meego.com/MeeGo/builds/trunk/preview/netbook/repos/ia32/packages/ \
--arch i686 meego-panel-applications-0.2.3-1.10.src.rpm
</pre>

The default cache dir is /var/cache/build, you can use option –cachedir to set to other dir.

The default BUILDROOT dir is /var/tmp/build-root, you can use --root option to specify one more dir, once build is done, you can get your binary package in BUILDROOT, for example:

<pre>
...
Wrote: /home/abuild/rpmbuild/SRPMS/cpio-2.11-2.meego.src.rpm
Wrote: /home/abuild/rpmbuild/RPMS/i586/cpio-2.11-2.meego.i586.rpm
Wrote: /home/abuild/rpmbuild/RPMS/i586/cpio-debuginfo-2.11-2.meego.i586.rpm
...
</pre>

Your cpio binary package is /var/tmp/build-root/home/abuild/rpmbuild/RPMS/i586/2.11-2.meego.i586.rpm
== Troubleshooting (ARM) ==

=== Exec format error ===
Meet this problem :

on fedora13 when using 'build' to create a armv7l rpm package.
one of reasons: maybe 'qemu-arm' is not right set.
Try command:'file /usr/bin/qemu-arm' ,and if its output show 'dynamically linked',and the problem maye is here,and it should be 'statically linked'.you can use commands 'rpm -i http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/dl9pf:/qemu/Fedora_12/i386/qemu-devel-0.13git2010.06.24.1826-8.1.i386.rpm' (the package maybe changes,so you can go the web address to get it ,then install it )to reinstall this part, and maybe you will meet some problem because of its dependencies ,and you can uninstall all of them first.

on ubuntu10.04,you should install 'qemu-arm-static',use command:apt-get install qemu-arm-static

On Debian, you should install 'qemu-user-static' from Squeeze (Debian 6.0) and later.

=== rpm error ===
This problem on ubuntu 10.04 when using 'build' to create a i686 rpm package.
''Error:rpm: error while loading shared libraries: liblua-5.1.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory''
Please modify the '''/usr/lib/build/configs/default.conf''' in preinstall section add liblua.--[[User:Kismeter|Kismeter]] 15:02, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

=== Nothing Provides ===
This problem on Ubuntu 10.04 when using 'build' to create a i586 package. Please Use ''build --repository http://repo.meego.com/MeeGo/builds/xxx/core/repos/ia32/packages/ --arch i686 xxxx.src.rpm''
The arch must be '''i686'''.

===chroot: cannot run command `rpm'===

when build a armv7l rpm,modify /usr/lib/build/build and /usr/lib/build/configs/meego-1.0.conf ,change armv7el to armv7l in these files,maybe /usr/lib/build/Build.pm also need change.

GSoC 2010

2010-03-11T04:04:50Z

Yanli: Merge with Maemo's GSoC application?

We would like for MeeGo to support the [http://code.google.com/soc/ Google Summer of Code] program this year if possible; however, applications need to be submitted by March 12 at 23:00 UTC, so we don't have much time. We need someone to step up and organize it to make sure that our application gets submitted.

== Merge with Maemo's GSoC application? ==
We've announced our merge with Maemo so it would be weird, from the public, that Maemo and MeeGo are submitting two applications. We should consider merging our efforts together.

== Mentors ==
If you want to become a mentor, please send a mail to Yan Li <yan.i.li@intel.com> and add your name below.

* Yan Li <yan.i.li@intel.com>

== Projects ==
* There is currently a list of [http://wiki.maemo.org/GSoC_2010/Project_ideas Maemo project ideas], but I'd like to see some that address the broader MeeGo project.
* We can also go through our planned feature list of MeeGo and extract some that suited for GSoC, I've already spotted a few as listed below. Those tasks are not secret and interesting.

If students are interested in creating a MeeGo Image Creator (called as MIC2 before, http://moblin.org/projects/moblin-image-creator-2) with QT UI, that will be great. :-）

* Cloud storage support (like Ubuntu One)
* Online music store support
* Boot time optimization (difficult task)
* Power optimization (difficult task)
* btrfs snapshot GUI and system integration
* Better handling of X failures (think of a safe mode)
