Scripts for building / testing packages built via Build Service

These scripts reduce to a one-line command the process of building rpms (e.g. from git) and then distributing them to a host (typically a VM) which is being used for testing.

For example,

build-dist-rpms -l -r external-smt -t 192.168.124.10 -p pacific \
    ~/SUSE/IBS/branches/Devel/Cloud/2.0/Staging/crowbar

does the following:

  1. Invokes build-rpms to build an rpm:

    1. Invokes a helper to find the location of the git working tree on the local system which contains source corresponding to the package in the given directory. This helper is a trivial shell script which every developer can tweak to match their own $HOME layout.

    2. Rewrites the url parameter in the _service file to point to that local git repository (that's the -l option).

    3. Rewrites the revision parameter in the _service file to be external-smt.

    4. Runs osc service disabledrun.

    5. Restores the _service file to how it was before the above tweaks.

    6. Runs osc build with suitable parameters.

  2. Invokes dist-rpms script to install that rpm on 192.168.124.10 via rsync, ssh, and zypper.

    In the example above, the -p pacific option even allows installation of an rpm via a proxy host, which is really useful when the host you are hacking on (e.g. your laptop) is different to the one (e.g. workstation) on which you are running your test VMs.

Installation

First download and install to somewhere on $PATH, e.g.

git clone https://github.com/openSUSE/pack-tools.git
cp pack-tools/contrib/BS-pkg-testing/* ~/bin
mv ~/bin/source-dir-for.sample ~/bin/source-dir-for

Now adjust the config script to where you've checked out your OBS / IBS packages and the corresponding git repositories:

vim ~/bin/source-dir-for

Try building a package from local source and installing it into your test VM with a single command! e.g.

build-dist-rpms -d -t 192.168.124.10 ~/Devel/Cloud/2.0/Staging/crowbar

If you want to use a particular git branch, use the -r option:

build-dist-rpms -r mybranch -t 192.168.124.10 ~/Devel/Cloud/2.0/Staging/crowbar
