build.py was on hold while we sorted out the plan for some build issues
and who was going to be working on them. That's been assigned to me and
I'm in agreement in terms of doing it in Python so I've picked it back
up as of yesterday. This implies I'll have to replicate the new
behaviour Jan has added in the last weeks. A lot of it gets re-used
as much of it boils down to git commands etc, it's just the glue
that changes.
Build.py currently supports:
([EMAIL PROTECTED])[~/src/spacewalk/java] % ./build.py --help
Usage: build.py [options] arg
Options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--tgz build .tar.gz
--srpm build srpm
--rpm build rpm
--dist=DIST dist tag to apply to srpm and/or rpm (i.e. .el5)
--test Use current branch HEAD instead of latest package tag.
--no-cleanup Do not clean up temporary build directories/files.
--tag=TAG Build a specific tag instead of the latest version.
(i.e.
spacewalk-java-0.4.0-1)
--debug Print debug messages.
I still need to finish adding:
- - Building of packages we store a .tar.gz for in git.
- - Package tagging.
- - Keep version. (not sure how important this one is)
- - Other irritating oddities Jan probably found but I haven't hit yet.
Also build.py's aren't placed everywhere we have Makefiles now, I plan
to do this once I have that building of .tar.gz's working.
So going forward we probably should hold off on any major Makefile.git
work, or at least coordinate with me so we can put it into the best
place. My hope is that we can replace Makefile.git before too long.
Cheers,
Devan
