<!-- Updated - July 2023 - Added latest smeserver-10-x86_64-base.cfg contents and git details

Updated Aug 2023 - Add Rocky 8 build details and notification of EL8 plague-client.

And added in instructions for pulling git repos down and mockbuilding locall.

==Creating the build system==

Build yourself a Rock8 system, probably minimal, but any level will do.

https://rockylinux.org/download/

Then login to the new system as "brianr" (or whatever user you created as part of the install.)

 sudo dnf install epel-release
 sudo dnf install mock
 sudo /usr/sbin/usermod -G mock brianr
 sudo dnf install glances
 sudo yum install make rpm-build rpm-sign
 sudo dnf install xz


(Missing python-ctypes??)

 cd /etc/mock/
 sudo rm site-defaults.cfg 
 sudo dnf install wget
 sudo wget http://mirror.contribs.org/contribs/dani/mock/site-defaults.cfg
 sudo wget http://mirror.contribs.org/contribs/dani/mock/smeserver-8-i386-base.cfg
 sudo wget http://mirror.contribs.org/contribs/dani/mock/smeserver-8-i386-iso.cfg
 sudo wget http://mirror.contribs.org/contribs/dani/mock/smeserver-8-x86_64-base.cfg
 sudo wget http://mirror.contribs.org/contribs/dani/mock/smeserver-8-x86_64-iso.cfg
 sudo wget http://mirror.contribs.org/contribs/dani/mock/smeserver-9-i386-base.cfg
 sudo wget http://mirror.contribs.org/contribs/dani/mock/smeserver-9-i386-iso.cfg
 sudo wget http://mirror.contribs.org/contribs/dani/mock/smeserver-9-x86_64-base.cfg
 sudo wget http://mirror.contribs.org/contribs/dani/mock/smeserver-9-x86_64-iso.cfg
 sudo wget http://mirror.contribs.org/contribs/dani/mock/smeserver-10-x86_64-base.cfg
 sudo chown root:mock /etc/mock/*

Note that the /etc/mock/smeserver-10-x86_64-base.cfg  file is incomplete (and actually the only one we really want!). Ideally the full one will be uploaded in time. See later, I copied from my Centos 7 build system.

Here it is:

Then:

 #!/bin/sh
 mkdir ~/rpmbuild
 for i in BUILD BUILDROOT RPMS SOURCES SPECS SRPMS
 do
  mkdir ~/rpmbuild/$i
 done

==Install / Access CVS==

 sudo dnf install cvs
 sudo nano /etc/profile.d/smebuild.sh
 
 # Developer environment
 # This gets symlinked into /etc/profile.d
 export CVS_RSH=ssh # tell CVS to use ssh
  # DO NOT set CVSROOT
 alias rm='rm -i'
 alias cp='cp -i --preserve=timestamps'
 alias mv='mv -i'

Create the ssh details for the build server:

 mkdir -p ~/.ssh
 nano ~/.ssh/config

 Host  shell.koozali.org
 User  brianr
 Port  222
 IdentityFile /home/brianr/.ssh/smeserver-buildsys
 ForwardAgent yes

Make Sure your public and private keys are syncronised onto the build server (I just copied the key files to the rocky server from my Centos 7 server).

Then pull in the complete Contribs tree

 cvs -z3 -d:ext:shell.koozali.org:/cvs/smeserver co -P rpms

Disable selinux by editing config replace "enforcing" by "disabled"
 
 sudo nano /etc/sysconfig/selinux

and reboot.

==GIT==

The git utilities currently developed live in the smedev/smeserver-gitutils repo.

Pull it over as follows:

 git clone  https://src.koozali.org/smedev/smeserver-gitutils.git

Then copy the shell scripts to ~/bin or wherever.

 mkdir ~/bin
 cp smeserver-gitutils/git-*.sh  ~/bin/.
 mkdir ~/.smegit
 cp smeserver-gitutils/conf ~/.smegit/config

Then edit the ~/.smegit/conf for your own setup.  Make sure that ~/bin is in the $PATH - you can use .bashrc to set this up if necessary.

The gitutils use the change-log and BogusDataBot.sh scripts which are normally installed from smeserver-mock.  Until an EL8 rpm is built, then you need to copy these to ~/bin or /usr/bin from your EL7 or SMEServer system.

They also use the json utilities "jq", and "git-lfs" plugin and "lua" (needed for change-log) so you need:

 sudo dnf install jq
 sudo dnf install lua
 sudo dnf install git-lfs


Git is quite sensitive to the local time, so make sure your timezone is correct:  

 timedatectl 
 timedatectl list_timezones | grep London
 timedatectl set-timezone Europe/London

If you want to save your credentials to the gitea server, then do this:

 git config --global credential.helper store

Then next time you need to access the repo to push and it asks for your credentials it will save them.  
This saves them apparently in plain to a restricted file called ".git-credentials" somewhere, however I've not found it yet!

===Using the git utilities===

Say you want to move a package from CVS to the GIT system. Here are the instructions:

* git-cvs2git.sh packagename organisation  #Bring it across from CVS, create an equivalent git repo
* git-get-repo-and-build.sh packagename organisation #Prime it down from the gitr repo and "make mockbuild" on it.
* git-make-release.sh packagename organisation tagname releasetype #Create the release as part of the repo and copy the rpms to it as attachments.

releasetypes are draft, prerelease or release. Note that a draft release is not visible unless you are logged in with write access to the repo.

=== Mockbuilding direct from the git repos ===

First create some sort of directory structure to hold the repo contents - this is what I use:<syntaxhighlight lang="shell">
cd ~
mkdir -p GITFiles
cd GITFiles
mkdir -p {smedev,smecontribs,smeserver}

</syntaxhighlight>and add in the common directory which provides an environment for the mockbuild .<syntaxhighlight lang="shell">
cd smecontribs
git clone https://src.koozali.org/smedev/common.git
cd smeserver
git clone https://src.koozali.org/smedev/common.git
</syntaxhighlight>we then can add in the repo we want to work on (you get the git clone link by browsing to [https://src.koozali.org/smecontribs/smeserver-mailstats https://src.koozali.org] and then (e.g.) https://src.koozali.org/smecontribs/smeserver-mailstats, or you can "guess" the URL!<syntaxhighlight lang="shell">
cd ~/GITFiles/smecontribs
git clone https://src.koozali.org/smecontribs/smeserver-mailstats
</syntaxhighlight>Then to mockbuild it  locally you can:<syntaxhighlight>
cd ~/smecontribs/smeserver-mailstats
make mockbuild
</syntaxhighlight>after a lot of on screen messages you should finally see a positive outcome message.

If you want to pull down a complete set of repos for (e.g.) the core system, then by using one of the git-utils you can do this:<syntaxhighlight lang="shell">
cd ~/GITFiles/smeserver
git-list-all-org-repos.sh smeserver | xargs -I % sh -c 'git clone https://src.koozali.org/smeserver/%'
</syntaxhighlight>

==Submitting jobs to the build system==

Need also to copy over from current build system ~/.plague-client.cfg .rpmmacros .cvspass (although this one is empty?)

make mockbuild runs ok.

Not yet tried submitting build to buildsys - need to find plague-client to download  - found Centos 7

 wget ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/ftp.centos.org/7.9.2009/infra/x86_64/infra-common/Packages/p/plague-client-0.4.5.8-19.el7.4.noarch.rpm
 wget ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/ftp.centos.org/7.9.2009/infra/x86_64/infra-common/Packages/p/plague-common-0.4.5.8-19.el7.4.noarch.rpm
 wget ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/vault.centos.org/7.6.1810/cloud/x86_64/openstack-stein/python2-pyOpenSSL-19.0.0-1.el7.noarch.rpm
 wget ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/ftp.centos.org/7.9.2009/cloud/x86_64/openstack-stein/Packages/p/python2-cryptography-2.5-1.el7.x86_64.rpm

Need python2
  sudo dnf install python2
Unfortunately it seems that the plague client needs things that Rocky is unable to provide (or at least I can't sort out!!). The perceived wisdom is to wait for the move from CVS to git which is expected for SME11. (Aug 2023) Apparently Jean-Paul has built a Plague-client for EL8 now - but I've not tried it!
