From: Roman Hodek <Roman.Hodek@informatik.uni-erlangen.de>
To: m68k-build@nocrew.org
Subject: building m68k packages on demand now possible
As I promised last week, there is now a facility to compile packages
on demand for m68k.
How it works: Send a mail to rbuilder@m68k.debian.org. The body must
be signed with PGP, and the signator must be allowed to use rbuilder.
(Allowed persons are currently Wichert, Joey, and myself). The body
should look like this:
build ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/Linux/debian/dists/unstable/main/source/base/hostname_2.04.dsc
distributions stable frozen unstable
upload to ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/Linux/INCOMING
The "build" command has an URL of an .dsc file as argument. It tells
which package to be built. The other source files (diff.gz,
orig.tar.gz) are fetched from the same FTP directory.
The "distributions" command tells rbuilder for which distributions to
build the package. It will register it for those dists in the
wanna-build database and omit dists where this doesn't work (e.g.
because somebody else has taken it already, or a newer version is
already installed, and so on...) The distribs given here minus those
who couldn't be registered are used in the .changes file, no matter
what the package says.
The "upload" command gives an FTP URL to which all .debs and the
.changes are finally uploaded. It must be an anonymously writable
directory.
All three commands are currently necessary.
Hope it works :-) and have fun.
Roman
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update 06/09/2000: The mail syntax has slightly changed... This was
necessary to properly handle packages with epochs. (The .dsc filename
doesn't contain the epoch, but wanna-build requires it.) It is now
build PACKAGE_VERSION
fetch from FTP-URL
distributions DIST-LIST
upload to FTP-URL
The above example rewritten:
build hostname_1:2.04
fetch from ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/Linux/debian/dists/unstable/main/source/base/
distributions stable frozen unstable
upload to ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/Linux/INCOMING
rbuilder will download hostname_2.04.dsc, even though the build
argument has an epoch. But version 1:2.04 will be registered in the
wanna-build database.
BTW, with the new feature of chroot builds, you now can safely build,
e.g., stable packages on kullervo, which has potato installed :-)
BTW^2: I hope the problems with wanna-build that happened in the past
are solved. Discarding wanna-build altogether wasn't the right
solution, instead the correct fix is not to give back packages if
they fail to build. The give-back moved them into state Needs-Build
and the stable build daemon would take them, but probably couldn't
find the sources. And it is now allowed to re-take a package, i.e.
take it again if it's already taken (by the same user).
