Feature #5981
Updated by osmith about 1 year ago
TIC/Rhizomatica is using the @osmocom:latest@ feeds for most of their osmo-* packages on their (mostly Debian 10) machines, but have a few self-built packages on top (from a private feed). We've discussed two topics during a recent call with @keith: * having a feed for _testing patches/fixes_ in situations where one of the osmocom developers has some not-in-latest patch that they want to deploy to (and test) on certain TIC/rhizomatica networks ** this feed should automatically automaticall build packages from osmo-* git repo branch, e.g. @rhizomatica/testing@ (if such a branch exists) ** this feed would only contain those packages for which currently said branch exists. All other packages are used from @osmocom:latest@ ** if said branch is removed form a given osmo-* git repo, the package should also disappear, making the version @osmocom:latest@ again the _best available version_ In addition, there was also the suggestion whether or not the custom, hand-built _production_ packages on TIC/Rhizomatica systems could be built via osmocom.org jenkins/obs. This would remove the burden of manually building those packages and maintaining related feeds, and instead @keith would just push to a related branch on the git repo at osmocom.org, which would trigger the package build, ... It could use the same mechanism as suggested sugested for _rhizomatica/testing_ above, resulting resultign in the following hierarchy: * @osmocom:latest@ as basis/fall-back. ** feed configured on all TIC systems * @rhizomatica:production@ for those packages that require additional rhizomatica-specific patches. ** uses @osmocom:latest@ to resolve its depenencies ** only built for packages where a related @rhizomatica/production@ @rhizomatica/testing@ branch exists in the osmo-*.git repo. ** feed configured on all TIC systems * @rhizomatica:testing@ for very few select packages where any of us wants to test something on a TIC system ** uses @rhizomatica:production@ to resolve its dependencies ** only built for packages where a related @rhizomatica/testing@ @rhizomatica/production@ branch exists in the osmo-*.git repo. ** feed configured only on some (typically one) TIC system to test a specific code change The most relevant distro for those builds right now is Debian 10. Not sure if only x86_64 or also 32bit x86 builds are required?
