User:Stskeeps/10 easy steps to a local OBS

DRAFT

This guide is to show you how to deploy a MeeGo-enabled OBS appliance with two built-in workers in a virtualized environment for developing for and with MeeGo. The tips is based on http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Build_Service_Appliance and I've tested this within VirtualBox.

You'll need a Virtual Machine like this:

• At least 1 GB of ram
• Host must support SSSE3 instructions
• As IDE primary master ('sda' in machine), latest obs-server.i686-XXXXXX-vmx.tar.bz2 from http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/Tools:/Unstable/images/ . Unpacking it will give you a vmdk to use or convert with qemu-img to fit with your virtualization software.
• At least 70 gb virtual harddisk, mounted as IDE secondary master (appearing as 'sdb' in machine')
• And it must be linked to an actual local network with proper DNS and gateway (no VM NAT) - don't have it on a public network as it opens ports to everyone.

This can also be a physical machine with a physical disk where obs-server.i686-2.0.105-Build1.1.raw.bz2 (bunzipped and dd'ed to a USB stick) can be used as boot device.

Step 1: Boot the VM and set up the virtual harddisk with LVM

Power on the machine. At the first setup the image will set itself up to fit with the machine. You'll arrive at a login: prompt where you can log in as 'root'

We need to set up LVM on the virtual disk, sdb. Log in as root and run: (WARNING: this will erase your 'sdb' disk)

# This will partition your disk
sfdisk /dev/sdb << EOF
,,8e
EOF

# This will set up LVM with various file systems. You can adjust sizes as wished.
pvcreate /dev/sdb1
vgcreate "OBS" /dev/sdb1
lvcreate -L 50G -n "server" /dev/OBS
vgscan
mkfs /dev/OBS/server
lvcreate -L 20G -n "cache" OBS
vgscan  
mkfs /dev/OBS/cache
lvcreate -L 4G -n "worker_root_1" /dev/OBS
lvcreate -L 4G -n "worker_root_2" /dev/OBS
lvcreate -L 512M -n "worker_swap_1" /dev/OBS
lvcreate -L 512M -n "worker_swap_2" /dev/OBS
vgscan 
mkfs /dev/OBS/worker_root_1
mkfs /dev/OBS/worker_root_2

Step 2: Set up MeeGo supported architectures =

Run the following commands on the machine:

# Install QEMU for ARM support. This will ask you a couple of times to accept a repository key
zypper install qemu-svn

# This will indicate to the OBS which architectures to work with (ARMv7 and i586)
sed s/OBS_SCHEDULER_ARCHITECTURES=\"i586 x86_64\"/OBS_SCHEDULER_ARCHITECTURES=\"i586 armv7el\"/g /etc/sysconfig/obs-server

# This will reboot the virtual machine to pick up the LVM partitions from before
shutdown -h now

Step 3: Preparing for importing releases

After the reboot, log in as root and do the following commands:

mkdir -p /obs/imports
mkdir -p /obs/build
ln -s /obs/build /srv/obs/build

Step 4: Importing a MeeGo release

A MeeGo release is approximately 4-5 gb each - and this is even without the debug symbols.

Run the following command - this will set up a script which is handy to import MeeGo releases in the future:

cat > /usr/sbin/import-meego-release.sh << EOF
#!/bin/sh -e
#
# SYNTAX: import-meego-release.sh <RELEASE NUMBER> <DOWNLOAD LOCATION>
# Example: import-meego-release.sh 1.0.99.0.20101005.1 rsync://mirrors.kernel.org/meego/builds/1.0.99/
# This will set up a OBS project MeeGo:RELEASE NUMBER:Core
# You might have to use login for OBS, that is, login Admin password opensuse

# Download the RPMs
mkdir -p /obs/imports/MeeGo_$1/core/
for x in ia32 armv7l
do
    mkdir -p /obs/imports/MeeGo_$1/core/$x/
    cd /obs/imports/MeeGo_$1/core/$x/
    rsync -a --progress $2/$1/core/repos/$x/packages/* .
done

# Set up symlinks to packages

mkdir -p /obs/build/MeeGo:$1:Core/standard/i586/:full
cd /obs/build/MeeGo:$1:Core/standard/i586/:full
find /obs/imports/MeeGo_$1/core/ia32/ -name *.rpm | xargs -I@ ln @ .

mkdir -p /obs/build/MeeGo:$1:Core/standard/armv7el/:full
cd /obs/build/MeeGo:$1:Core/standard/armv7el/:full
find /obs/imports/MeeGo_$1/core/armv7l/ -name *.rpm | xargs -I@ ln @ .

chown -R obsrun:obsrun /obs/build/
chown -R obsrun:obsrun /obs/imports/

# Set up prj information in OBS 
osc -A http://localhost:81 meta prj -F - MeeGo:$1:Core << OTHEREOF

do
