Developer tooling framework for Clear Linux

This repository includes scripts, configuration files, and makefiles that enable Clear Linux developers to manage, maintain, and validate changes to distro packages and projects that are maintained in git repositories. Development workflows are makefile-driven, and there is a particular focus on building Clear Linux packages.

Getting started
First steps
upd bundle-add os-clr-on-clr
Automated setup

Download the user setup script and run it on your Clear Linux system as an unprivileged user.

rl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/clearlinux/common/master/user-setup.sh
mod +x user-setup.sh
user-setup.sh

After the script completes, make sure to logout and login again to complete the setup process.

The script accepts several options, or no options at all. The options are documented in the script's --help output. Note that if you are supplying any of the three Koji cert options (-k, -s, or -c), the other two options must be supplied as well.

If you do not wish to run the user-setup script, see the “Manual setup” section below for hints about how to initialize the tooling workspace.

Example usage
Build RPMs for a package

In every repo cloned to the packages tree, several make commands are available for managing a given package. For example, you can build source, binary, and debuginfo RPMs for a package by running make build.

To build RPMs for the coreutils package, do the following:

 packages/coreutils
ke build

The results of make build are stored in the results directory within the repo.

Run make help to see other make commands that are available to work with the package.

Keep up-to-date with latest changes

Due to the frequent release cadence, you may wish to keep repos in the workspace up-to-date with the most recent changes. To do so, run make pull in the toplevel directory of the workspace. Assuming your current working directory is a package repo, do:

 ../..
ke pull

A make pull will display the diffstat for each project and package repo with changes since you last updated the workspace.

If new packages were added to the distro since the last update, clone the new package repos by running make clone.

Run make help to see other make commands available to run at toplevel.

Autogenerate a new package

The toplevel makefile provides a make autospecnew command that can automatically generate an RPM package by using the autospec tool. You must define the URL and NAME variables for the command. URL is a URL to the package's upstream source tarball, and NAME is the name of the package you wish to create.

ke autospecnew URL="..." NAME="example-pkg"

Whether or not autospec successfully creates the package, a new package directory will be created to continue work on it. In the example below, a missing build dependency is added, and then autospec is re-run.

 packages/example-pkg
ho missing-build-req >> buildreq_add
ke autospec
Bump the release number for a package

If you simply need to increment a package's release number and rebuild the package, a make bump command is available for this purpose.

ke bump
ke build
Other topics
Customizing the mock config

In the past, the various make commands that call mock required a mock config installed at /etc/mock/clear.cfg. However, at present, the commands will instead use the mock config within this repo (koji-client-files/clear.cfg).

If you wish to use a custom mock config, you must override the MOCK_CONF variable to specify a different value to pass to mock's -r option. The value is either a full path that ends with .cfg, or a config NAME installed at /etc/mock/<NAME>.cfg. You can override the MOCK_CONF config variable by redefining it in Makefile.config.site_local, which must reside at the toplevel directory in this repo.

For example, to retain the old behavior of mock using /etc/mock/clear.cfg, add this line to Makefile.config.site_local:

_CONF = /etc/mock/clear.cfg

If Makefile.config.site_local doesn't exist already, create it.

Manual setup

If you did not run the user-setup script (see “Automated setup” section above), you will want to set up the developer tooling workspace manually. This section provides general documentation for the manual setup process, and it is not meant to be exhaustive.

On your Clear Linux system, create a workspace for Clear Linux development work:

dir clearlinux

Clone this repo into a projects directory within the workspace:

 clearlinux
dir projects
t clone https://github.com/clearlinux/common projects/common

Create the toplevel tooling Makefile:

 -s projects/common/Makefile.toplevel Makefile

Clone all Clear Linux package and project repositories:

ke clone

Note: You can clone the repos in parallel by using make's -j option.

At this point, the packages directory will contain all Clear Linux package repos, and projects will contain common, clr-bundles, and autospec repos.
