Build a package against specific kernel

• log in to ssh build@lxdist01

  usage: /mnt/data2/home/build/bin/buildmodules.sh [-n] -k kernel -d dist
  
  This script build packages against specific kernel.
  
  OPTIONS:
     -a arch	Build for specific arch only - default "x86_64 i686"
     -c           Do not run mash before executing
     -d dist      Distribution - slc5 slc6
     -e opts      Extra mock options - eg "--define 'dist .cern'" 
     -h           Show this message
     -k kernel    Kernel version e.g: 2.6.18-308.13.1.el5
     -n           Dry-run - Only show what will be built
     -p path      Build one package - Need full path
     -g           Only generate mock config for the specified kernel
  
     

Automated procedure for new kernel

SLC5

Prerequisite

• New kernel has been built in Koji
• Tag it as slc5-testing-updates (This step will disappear soon)

       koji tag-pkg slc5-testing-updates kernel-X-Y.Z.el5 
     

Build

buildmodules.sh -k 2.6.32-279.14.1.el5 -d slc5
copymodules.sh -k 2.6.32-279.14.1.el5 -d slc5

Check logs

Check the summary log:

tail -n 20 /mnt/data2/home/build/logs/summary.log

If it shows error then you can have a look to mock logs in :

cat /mnt/data2/home/build/logs/$arch/

And finally the details logs are in the result directory:

cat /mnt/data2/home/build/results/slc5/$kernel/$arch/$pkg

SLC6

Prerequisite

• New kernel has been built in Koji
• Tag it as slc6-testing-updates (This step will disappear soon)

       koji tag-pkg slc6-testing-updates kernel-X-Y.Z.el6
     

Build

buildmodules.sh -k 2.6.32-279.14.1.el6 -d slc6
copymodules.sh -k 2.6.32-279.14.1.el6 -d slc6

Check logs

Check the summary log:

tail -n 10 /mnt/data2/home/build/logs/summary.log

If it shows error then you can have a look to mock logs in :

cat /mnt/data2/home/build/logs/$arch/

And finally the details logs are in the result directory:

cat /mnt/data2/home/build/results/slc6/$kernel/$arch/$pkg

Build one specific package

./buildmodules.sh -k 2.6.32-279.14.1.el5 -d slc5 -p /fullpath/to/my/pkg.src.rpm

Advanced

Pass argument to mock/rpmbuild

You can pass argument to mock by creating a file in configs/extra/$pkg.extra

It can take two variables:

EXCLUSIVEARCH="i686" - package will be built only for i686
and/or
EXTRA_OPTS="--define 'build_userspace 0' --define 'build_modules 1'" - extra --define options

Clean buildroot and results

rm results/*
rm /var/cache/mock/*

Use templates

Template must follow the following name convention:

$DIST-$ARCH-template.cfg and available in configs/ directory
slc5-i686-template.cfg
 

The script does not need mofdification to add a new distribution, only this mock template.

Modify templates

Remember to clean the old generated template when you modify it.

rm configs/*el5.cfg
rm configs/*el6.cfg
