OBS Maintenance

The Osmocom binary packages are built with OBS, the openSUSE build service. In order to do that, the jenkins jobs Osmocom_OBS_latest / _nightly (config) checkout the source repositories and build debian source packages, then upload these to OBS.

Install osc

Get the command-line client for managing OBS. When using for the first time, it will ask for the credentials.

$ sudo apt install osc
$ osc ls

Workflow for testing OBS configurations

OBS has a project configuration, which may need to be state preferred dependencies for example. Before we apply project configurations to the official Osmocom OBS projects, we can test them in our own OBS project. Copy the relevant package first (adjust the username accordingly in all following examples):

$ osc copypac network:osmocom:nightly osmo-gsm-manuals home:osmith42
Visit the site in your browser: Set up build targets:

The package should get added to the queue already.

Open your project config next to the osmocom:nightly one:

First copy everything from the Osmocom project over to your own project. Then make changes to your config, until the builds are working as expected (dependency problems are resolved etc.). Whenever you change the config, OBS will immediately re-evaluate the build dependencies, no need to upload the source packages again.

When everything works as expected, copy the config changes you have made to the Osmocom project (nightly and latest).

Note that changing network:osmocom's project config did not seem to have any effect. It seems that we really must change both network:osmocom:nightly and :latest instead.

Workflow for modifying packages

(Optional) modify the debian dir

  • clone the source git repository
  • make changes to the debian dir
  • commit your changes
  • push to a "user/..." branch

Build source packages and upload to your own OBS project

  • clone osmo-ci.git
  • open osmo-nightly-packages.sh
  • if you intend to make changes to the script, do them and commit the changes
  • change PROJ to home:USERNAME
  • if you made changes to the debian dir, insert your branch name after the related checkout line (e.g. checkout osmo-gsm-manuals osmith/some-random-change)
  • run osmocom-nightly-packages.sh
  • check in your browser if all packages have been built by OBS as expected (iterate until you get everything right)

When everything works fine, contribute your patches with Gerrit as usually.

Troubleshooting

Debian dir doesn't work for multiple debian versions

Following what has been done for osmo-trx:
  • create the debian dir to work with the latest debian stable
  • create a patch that would make it work with an earlier release (debian 8) and save it as debian/patches/build-for-debian8.patch
  • adjust the osmocom-*-packages.sh scripts to upload a second debian source package, which has the patch applied
  • configure OBS to build the patched package only for the older debian releases, and the unpatched package only for the stable release

Package is not resolvable

have choice for jadetex needed by docbook-utils: jadetex texlive-formats-extra

You'll need to adjust the OBS project configuration (mind the testing workflow above):

Prefer: texlive-htmlxml
