[Gnewsense-dev] Builder update

[Sam Geeraerts]

Hi,

Eddi and I have sat together to review changes in his and Bob's
branches so far. We did some test runs and spent most of the day
figuring out a problem with the debian-installer folder in -updates.
Long story short: debmirror doesn't want to download it because it's
empty, but reprepro requires it unless you leave out UDebComponents
(gen-repo).

I've merged most of the changes of both branches into trunk. I've left
out the security repo flag, because I want to always include security
updates. I still need to merge the packages-to-remove changes.

I think we're almost ready to get started on gen-scripts. Yay.

Sam.

Sounds good but I think tha's better to comment the syntax about the
code, I have read all scripts, but with 1 or 2 comments is not a best
quality to collaborate togheter, if you want that i can to participate
-- I can make the contribution only with the source code commented,
because I have one way to write the code, other user too, and the best
way to organize it is the comments inside them.

It seems my Bazaar settings were a bit off so my earlier push failed.
Fixed now, latest version is available on Savannah

sounds great. Now it's better to add many comments on the code,
because we are new and we can too understand all parts of those
scripts :D

Hi Mike and all,

I created an ansible-playbook[1] that performs the steps listed on
HowToCreateYourOwnGNULinuxDistribution [2].
Ansible is a configuration management tool [3] that basically ssh into a
pc, and executes commands, the commands needed to setup builder.

I'm not sure if anyone on this list knows ansible, but looking at the
./roles/*/tasks/main.yml
will show the steps from [2] and hopefully clarify a bit. It is
possible to run the ansible-book after checking the README and
this will configure a machine for builder. The project takes care of key
generation, webserver configuration and pulling debian mirror etc.

The project is far from finished, i originally created it to help with
my ever changing build setup,
and thought it could be of help, maybe.

Hi all,

- do-update:
I've added an extra variable to config, gen-repo and update-chroot
do-update doesn't complain about updates and the security mirror anymore.
do-update seems to get to the add_package method and uses the gen-scripts.



- running gen-scripts on their own:
running the chroot command from do-update's add_package method works
gen-apt compiled all sources and ended on:
dpkg-buildpackage: full upload; Debian-native package (full source is
included)


I will do some more testing on do-update
and i will continue working on the gen-apt script.

Wow nice work eddi. Really. I think the next relase will be wonderful.
I want too send the bug tracking because Debian 9 has more bugs and I
think it's better to make one really rock solid gNewSense
