So, I spent most of today whipping arrakis into being a buildd again. The result:
http://grep.be/blog/en/computer/debian/m68k/arrakis Party! Now, while it's still fresh in my memory, for those of you who want to set things up, here's a (not so) short HOWTO: - First, set up sbuild so it can build packages. This has changed fairly significantly since the old days, so you'll have to learn all over again. Since Ingo set that up on arrakis, I'm afraid I can't help here, but he said he'd mail his explanation some time soon. Important: make sure the 'schroot' chroot name follows the following pattern: <dist>-<arch>-sbuild e.g., sid-m68k-sbuild otherwise buildd won't find the chroot and can't build. - Install buildd. Note that 'buildd.conf' has been renamed, you should now use ~buildd/.builddrc instead. A template configuration file looks like this: --->8--->8--- @distributions = ( { dist_name => [ "sid" ], built_architecture => 'm68k', wanna_build_ssh_host => "buildd.debian-ports.org", wanna_build_ssh_user => "buildd_m68k", wanna_build_ssh_socket => "buildd.debian-ports.org.ssh", wanna_build_ssh_options => [], wanna_build_db_user => "buildd_m68k-arrakis", dupload_local_queue_dir => "upload", no_auto_build => [], weak_no_auto_build => [], logs_mailed_to => '[email protected],[email protected]', sign_with => "96DC703F", }, ); @upload_queues = ( { dupload_local_queue_dir => "upload", dupload_archive_name => "dports", }, ); my $autoclean_interval = 86400; my $secondary_daemon_threshold = undef; $admin_mail = "wouter\@debian.org"; $statistics_mail = $admin_mail; # How many days until archiving build logs my $buildd_log_keep = 7; # Log successful messages from upload queue daemon? my $log_queued_messages = 1; # Send rotated daemon.log files? $daemon_log_send = 1; # Arrakis is a dedicated daemon, it shouldn't need nice $nice_level = 0; my $max_build = 1; # Ask whether packages should be built if they failed earlier? $should_build_msgs = 0; # Don't remove this, Perl needs it 1; ---8<---8<--- Yes, that means we can specify more than one distributions with more than one target upload queue. On debian.org machines, this is used to build for unstable, experimental, backports, and security, all from the same host. Obviously you'll want to change the values of logs_mailed_to, wanna_build_db_user, and $admin_mail :-) - Add a cronjob for schroot -c source:sid-m68k-sbuild -- apt-get update and have it run every six hours, but *not* at 6-12-18-24, because that's just *before* the archive run. This is because 'apt-get update' takes about 25 minutes these days, and otherwise it'll try to do that for *every* build, which isn't always necessary. With this, it'll do it as often as debian-ports gets updated; much more useful. Note the source: bit in the schroot command line, it means you don't want schroot to create a snapshot that it'll throw away after you log out (fairly crucial for what we want to do here) - Patch /usr/bin/perl5/Buildd/Daemon.pm, find the line that says '--apt-update' and change it into '--no-apt-update'. I'll file a bugreport in a minute so that isn't hardcoded anymore, but for now you'll have to do that. - Generate a GPG key with: - 4096 bits RSA - expiry set to 1 year - no password You do *not* want to do this on the m68k; generate it on a faster machine, and use 'gpg --export-secret-key' to copy it over to the m68k. Otherwise you'll be at it for hours. Note that --export-secret-key doesn't export the public key, you have to use --export-key for that. Use --import on the m68k machine to import both files there. Don't forget to gpg --delete-secret-key it from your other machine (don't want to needlessly increase the attack surface) - Sign the GPG key with your own GPG key (the one that you can use to do debian.org uploads with) - Change the value of 'sign_with' in .builddrc to the key ID of the GPG key that you just generated. - Upload the GPG key to some keyserver somewhere. - Generate an SSH key (if that has not already been done) - Send a mail to aurelien with GPG fingerprint, SSH public, and mail forward address - Install buildd-watcher and buildd-uploader in cron, as before. - Profit! I'll work on some other machines tomorrow, but for now, arrakis already built one package and has just started doing the next one. -- Copyshops should do vouchers.
