This includes testing at various levels (packaging, platform, runtime, upgrade, etc...) developed by a community with a focus on the system as a whole, rather than individual projects. - + ## Building Bigtop - + Packages have been built for CentOS/RHEL 5 and 6, Fedora 17, SuSE Linux Enterprise 11, OpenSUSE12.2, Ubuntu LTS Lucid and Precise, and Ubuntu Quantal. They can probably be built for other platforms as well.Some of the binary artifacts might be compatible with other closely related distributions. - -Building Bigtop requires the following tools: - + +Building all of Bigtop requires the following tools: + * Java JDK 1.6 * Apache Forrest 0.8 (requires 32bit version of Java JDK 1.5) * Apache Ant @@ -46,16 +46,16 @@ Building Bigtop requires the following tools: * libz-dev * sharutils * libfuse-dev -* libssl-dev - +* libssl-dev + On Debian-based systems one also needs - + * build-essential dh-make debhelper devscripts * reprepro - + On openSUSE 11.4+, in addition, one also needs to ensure the following is installed: - - + + relaxngDatatype docbook-utils docbook-simple asciidoc @@ -67,43 +67,53 @@ xmlformat xmlto libxslt libopenssl-devel - + ## Building packages - - $ make [component-name]-[rpm|deb] - + +$ make [component-name]-[rpm|deb] + ## Building local YUM/APT repositories - - $ make [component-name]-[yum|apt] - -## Running the tests - + +$ make [component-name]-[yum|apt] + +## Running the tests + WARNING: since testing packages requires installing them on a live system it is highly recommended to use VMs for that. - -Testing Bigtop is done using iTest framework.
