Introduction

These Notes have been kindly shared by Ian Wells, thanks to him.

Interesting discussion on the process of building an iso : http://bugs.contribs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7675

Folder structure, both local and buildsys

This document presumes that 

~/builds_bin is builds_bin from CVS
~/cdrom.image is cdrom.image from CVS
~/anacondo-po contains the anaconda translations
~/smeserver contains a local mirror 
~/rpms is rpms from CVS

update_repos

update_repos (/build/smeserver/stage/bin/update_repos) is used to keep the repos in sync and to create the ‘stage’ from which the ISO is built. On the local build system update_repos can be run manually before building an ISO, whereas it runs every two hours on the buildsys.

The buildsys has two main folders that are relevant for building an ISO. 

repo      => '/build/smeserver/repo/ ', eg '/build/smeserver/repo/testing/9/'
stage     => '/build/smeserver/stage/', eg  '/build/smeserver/stage/9/'
  • repo is the folder that replicates to the mirrors. Be careful of all changes here.
  • stage is the working directory. Note that update_repos expects the folder structure to be in place.

update_repos relies on RPM2 which can be found as an RPM. It also needs all GPG keys for every package that it sees, it can take a while to find them all. 

yum install perl-RPM2
Important.png Note:
Note that update_repos copies smeupdates-testing packages to stage but not from smetest.


Local Only: Create the repo folder and the binary program folder

Local Only 

mkdir -p /build/smeserver/repo
mkdir -p /build/smeserver/stage/bin

The content of builds_bin from CVS needs to be copied to /build/smeserver/stage/bin

Eg 

/bin/cp ~/builds_bin/* /build/smeserver/stage/bin

Building the SME Server ISOs

Important.png Note:
Note I needed to edit mock cfg file to include /build in the chroot due to my local setup.


There is also an update to /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/mockbuild/mounts.py

Preparation for a new ISO release

Server-Manager translations

Check translations from http://translate.contribs.org/patches/ if the filesize is >0 then need to patch smeserver-locale

Anaconda translations

Check installer translations from http://translate.contribs.org/anaconda/ I have no idea how to tell if there are updates get the latest files, 

wget --mirror --no-parent -A.mo -P ~/anacondo-po http://translate.contribs.org/anaconda/

Check if installer needs re-building

If either anaconda has changed OR there is new content in cdrom.image (apart from the release note) then the installer needs to be rebuilt (build_installer). Otherwise just the ISO needs to be built (build_ISO).

Update cdrom.image content

Update cdrom.image to the latest in CVS

cd ~/cdrom.image 
cvs update -dPA


Anaconda version

Check which anaconda was used upstream, eg http://vault.centos.org/5.10/os/SRPMS/ and is it newer than the one in CVS. If it is then anaconda needs to be updated and patched. | The latest Anaconda also needs to be in smeextras.


SME Server 9

Local Only: Update local mirror as seen by the chroot

Local Only 

rsync -av --delete --progress ~/smeserver/releases/9/ /build/smeserver/repo/9

Create release specific folder and link

mkdir -p /build/smeserver/stage/9.1/SRPMS
cd /build/smeserver/stage/
ln -s 9.1/ 9

Local Only 

mkdir -p /build/smeserver/stage/extra/isolinux/

Create cdrom content

When starting from fresh rsync can copy cdrom.image content, it also generates the folder tree.

Important.png Note:
Note that this would remove everything else out of the target directory, eg translations.


Also note that the isolinux content goes into a temporary directory, /build/smeserver/stage/extra/isolinux/ 

rsync -a --delete --delete-excluded --exclude 'CVS/' --exclude 'isolinux/' ~/cdrom.image/sme9/ /build/smeserver/stage/9/x86_64
rsync -a --delete --delete-excluded --exclude 'CVS/' --exclude 'isolinux/' ~/cdrom.image/sme9/ /build/smeserver/stage/9/i386
rsync -a --delete --delete-excluded --exclude 'CVS/' ~/cdrom.image/sme9/isolinux/ /build/smeserver/stage/extra/isolinux/9


OR Refresh cdrom content

If only refreshing the files, then remove the delete. 

rsync -a --exclude 'CVS/' --exclude 'isolinux/' ~/cdrom.image/sme9/ /build/smeserver/stage/9/x86_64
rsync -a --exclude 'CVS/' --exclude 'isolinux/' ~/cdrom.image/sme9/ /build/smeserver/stage/9/i386
rsync -a --exclude 'CVS/' ~/cdrom.image/sme9/isolinux/ /build/smeserver/stage/extra/isolinux/9


Create the remaining folders

Important.png Note:
Note: images and isolinux do not need to be created as they are removed anyway in build_installer

Copy anaconda translations

Anaconda translations need copying to /updates/po from ~/anacondo-po 

/bin/cp -R ~/anacondo-po/translate.contribs.org/anaconda/sme9/* /build/smeserver/stage/9/i386/updates/po
/bin/cp -R ~/anacondo-po/translate.contribs.org/anaconda/sme9/* /build/smeserver/stage/9/x86_64/updates/po

Copy anaconda content

See ~/cdrom.image/sme9/updates/README.txt for details of what to copy. The patched anaconda files from ~/rpms/anaconda/sme9 will go to updates directory. The exact directory depends on the anaconda version, eg ~/rpms/anaconda/sme9/anaconda-13.21.215 

cd ~/rpms/anaconda/sme9/
make prep

Copy anaconda content

See ~/cdrom.image/sme8/updates/README.txt for details of what to copy. The patched anaconda files from ~/rpms/anaconda/sme8 will go to updates directory. The exact directory depends on the anaconda version, eg ~/rpms/anaconda/sme8/anaconda-11.1.2.263. One file (bootloaderInfo.py) also comes from booty. Finally lang-names needs to come from the actual anaconda RPM to updates which is a manual step. 

cd ~/rpms/anaconda/sme8/
