Introduction
These Notes have been kindly shared by Ian Wells, thanks to him. This howto is there to document the way on the build of an official Iso. For an introduction you must follow first this howto and get a full workable buildserver
bugzilla:7675
build_installer and build_ISO are meant to be run in a mock chroot with the stage tree nfs mounted into it. The build box can be the same, eg COS6 x64 for all ISOs, it is only the mock image that needs to match the ISO, and this is magically handled by the mock configs. You also need to have access to the extras repo as many of the packages needed to build the installer and ISO are contained in there. This repo is to house the needed packages that aren't going to be included in the ISO. For clarification read http://bugs.contribs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7675#c37
bugzilla:7931
Please read Bug #7931 regarding repodata and symlinks.
Local Only: Requirements
Local Only: mock requirement
on centos 7
yum install python-decoratortools
Local Only: mock plugin : iso_prepare
You have to install a new plugin for mock : Iso_prepare
copy the content of https://bugs.contribs.org/attachment.cgi?id=6286 (updated for CentOS 7 and python 3.6) and paste it in
sudo wget https://bugs.contribs.org/attachment.cgi?id=6286 -O /usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/mockbuild/plugins/iso_prepare.py
Local Only: update_repos
The script update_repos relies on RPM2 which can be found as a RPM.
yum install perl-RPM2 repoview --enablerepo=epel
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 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/10/' stage => '/build/smeserver/stage/', eg '/build/smeserver/stage/10/'
- 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.
It also needs all GPG keys for every package that it sees, it can take a while to find them all.
Local Only: Create the repo folder and the binary program folder
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/cd ~/smeserver/builds_bin /usr/bin/cvs update -dPA /bin/cp ~/smeserver/builds_bin/* /build/smeserver/stage/bin
Local Only: Mock Special Settings
- hard-coded UID of release account
verify that in all /etc/mock/smeserver-10-{i386,x86_64}-iso.cfg you have config_opts['chrootuid'] = os.getuid()
- config_opts['chrootuid'] = 10020 + config_opts['chrootuid'] = os.getuid()
- These are the changes that you need to made if you do not have the nfs mounts on your local machine
config_opts['plugin_conf']['mount_opts']['dirs'].append(('storage:/export/build', '/build', 'nfs', 'defaults,noatime,nodiratime,nosuid')) config_opts['plugin_conf']['mount_opts']['dirs'].append(('storage:/mirrors', '/mirrors', 'nfs', 'defaults,noatime,nodiratime,nosuid'))
with
#config_opts['plugin_conf']['mount_opts']['dirs'].append(('storage:/export/build', '/build', 'nfs', 'defaults,noatime,nodiratime,nosuid')) #config_opts['plugin_conf']['mount_opts']['dirs'].append(('storage:/mirrors', '/mirrors', 'nfs', 'defaults,noatime,nodiratime,nosuid')) config_opts['plugin_conf']['bind_mount_opts']['dirs'].append(('/build', '/build' ))
Eg:
sudo vim /etc/mock/smeserver-10-x86_64-iso.cfg
Local Only: Patch a Mock Plugin
There is also an update to /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/mockbuild/mounts.py that needs to happen so loop devices get mounted correctly. Check /var/lib/mock/smeserver-VERSION-ARCH/result/root.log after mock -r smeserver-VERSION-ARCH-iso --init (eg mock -r smeserver-8-i386-iso --init). The mounting of the /dev/loopX should pass (return code 0). If it fails (return code 32) then the patch below is needed on your build host. see http://bugs.contribs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7675#c61

CVS Folder structure, both local and buildsys
as releases user do
This document presumes that
~/smeserver/builds_bin is builds_bin from CVS ~/smeserver/cdrom.image is cdrom.image from CVS ~/anaconda-po contains the anaconda translations ~/smeserver/releases contains a local smeserver mirror ~/smeserver/rpms is rpms folder from CVS
if absent then :
cd ~ mkdir -p smeserver/builds_bin smeserver/cdrom.image smeserver/cdrom.image ln -s smeserver/builds_bin builds_bin ln -s smeserver/cdrom.image cdrom.image mkdir -p anaconda-po
then update content or populate

Preparation of a new Major Release
this part is a work in progress and might help for SME 11
Check how to tweak Anaconda
download last anaconda package from CentOS and update source in buildsys. Do this on shell VM.
wget https://vault.centos.org/7.9.2009/os/Source/SPackages/anaconda-21.48.22.159-1.el7.centos.src.rpm
~/smeserver/common/cvs-import.sh -b sme10 anaconda-21.48.22.159-1.el7.centos.src.rpm
cd ~/smeserver/rpms/anaconda/sme10
prepa
then you want to harvest the patch we already have. For SME10:
- 100-anaconda-koozali-product.patch
- 101-anaconda-koozali-add-koozali-install-class.patch
wget https://viewvc.koozali.org/smeserver/rpms/anaconda/sme10/100-anaconda-koozali-product.patch

Preparation for a new ISO release
Generate a new Changelogs
When generating an ISO the Release Notes for the ISO should contain the full delta from the last ISO. Ian gets a script for doing that
When it is available you need to put it there:
to do this :
cd ~/smeserver/cdrom.image cvs update -dPA cd sme10/
then copy the new version, as instance you could do this:
cp ~/ReleaseNotes.txt README.txt
then commit:
cvs commit -m "Release 10.1" README.txt
The Smeserver version name
The Version number comes from a rpm, smeserver-release, you need to bump the version in the spec file and build the rpm, think to push it to smeupdates-testing.
RPM dependencies
The smeos, smeupdates, and smeupdates-testing repos are included so we can stage the packages we are going to release without actually having to release them. Normally the smeupdates-testing repo is used for verification (testing is for developer testing). During the ISO release schedule (usually very short) we hold moving packages to updates-testing until the ISO is built.
Examples of dependencies
cp /mirrors/rpmforge/redhat/el6/en/i386/dag/RPMS/perl-Taint-Util-0.08-1.el6.rf.i686.rpm /build/smeserver/repo/testing/9/smetest/i386/RPMS/
cp /mirrors/centos/6/os/i386/Packages/libtevent-0* /build/smeserver/repo/testing/9/smeupdates-testing/i386/RPMS/
This shows that on the buildsys the /mirrors has the main upstream repos and they will normally hold the RPM needed to resolve the dependency. You need to get it into smeupdates-testing, but it is safer to first copy the RPM to smetest and check that all is well.
Rpm update cycle
If an RPM is released during the update cycle:
smetest->smeupdates-testing->smeupdates
If an RPM is only needed for a new ISO and never needed as an update (before the ISO is released) :
/mirrors->smeupdates-testing->smeos
Note that you don't put it into smeos, that is taken care of by the build scripts.
What are smeos/smeextras
- Every package that needs to be in the ISO will go into smeos, by the buildsys.
- Packages that are needed for building the ISO, but not actually needed in the ISO, will be in smeextras
How get a Fully updated ISO
If your Iso is not fully updated and a 'yum update' fetch updates after the first boot, in generally centos updates. You will need to push missed updates from smetest to smeupdates-testing.
RPM QA verification
Server-Manager translations
Check translations from https://translate.koozali.org/patches/ if the filesize is >0 then need to patch smeserver-locale (to sme10) and produce new rpms that will must be pushed to smeupdate-testing
Anaconda translations
Check installer translations from https://translate.koozali.org/anaconda/
get the latest files (-w 1 means wait one second between two requests, to prevent your IP behing blacklisted):
wget --mirror --no-parent -w 1 -A.mo -P ~/anaconda-po https://translate.koozali.org/anaconda/
you can also fast the operation by doing the following if you only need on sme version:
mkdir -p ~/anaconda-po/sme10 wget --mirror --no-parent -w 1 -A.mo -P ~/anaconda-po/sme10 https://translate.koozali.org/anaconda/sme10/
Check if installer needs re-building
Check Anaconda version
Check which anaconda was used upstream, (eg http://vault.centos.org/5.11/os/SRPMS/ & http://vault.centos.org/6.6/os/Source/SPackages/) 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.
Bump smeserver-release if needed
Most of the time, we'll create a new ISO when we release a new SME Server version. So, we have to bump the version of the smeserver-release RPM.
Bump version in the splash screen
We need to update the title of the splsh screen. For this, we have to update the title line in cdrom.images/sme10/isolinux/isolinux.cfg, eg
menu title Welcome to SME Server 10.1 RC1
to do this :
cd ~/smeserver/cdrom.image cvs update -dPA cd sme10/isolinux/ vim isolinux.cfg
then edit, and finish with:
cvs commit -m "Release 10.1" isolinux.cfg
Remove the 'Beta warning' in Anaconda
For SME10
edit the file .buildstamp
cd /build/smeserver/stage/extra/images/10/product vim .buildstamp
[Main] Product=Koozali SME Server Version=10alpha5 BugURL=https://bugs.koozali.org IsFinal=False UUID=alpha5.x86_64 [Compose] Lorax=19.6.66-1
change isFinal to True
Also bump the Version !
Prepare SME Server 10

rsync -av --delete --progress ~/smeserver/releases/10/ /build/smeserver/repo/10
Create release specific folder and link (or rename the folder)
The build_installer and build_ISO expect to be run from a directory that points to the head of the stage (ex. /build/stage/8). This is usually a symlink to 8.1 or 8.1beta1. The script fully expands the symlink and pulls off the last element to figure out what version we are going to build.
get the version string Build_an_Official_ISO#Versions

Prepare to build the product.img
rsync -arv /build/smeserver/repo/$FROM/$VERPREV/smeos/x86_64/product /build/smeserver/stage/$VERSION/x86_64/
Populate isolinux dir:
rsync -arv /mirrors/centos/7/os/x86_64/isolinux/* /build/smeserver/stage/$VERSION/x86_64/isolinux/
could also be from previous iso
rsync -arv /build/smeserver/stage/$VERPREV/x86_64/isolinux/* /build/smeserver/stage/$VERSION/x86_64/isolinux/
Populate EFI
rsync -arv /mirrors/centos/7/os/x86_64/EFI /build/smeserver/stage/$VERSION/x86_64/
could also be from previous iso
rsync -arv /build/smeserver/stage/$VERPREV/x86_64/EFI /build/smeserver/stage/$VERSION/x86_64/
Create cdrom content
When starting from fresh rsync can copy cdrom.image content, it also generates the folder tree.
Refresh cdrom content
If only refreshing the files, then remove the delete.
cd ~/smeserver cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@shell.koozali.org:/cvs/smeserver co -P cdrom.image
rsync -arv --exclude 'CVS/' ~/smeserver/cdrom.image/sme$VER/ /build/smeserver/stage/$VER/x86_64/ cd /build/smeserver/stage/extra/images/$VER/product/
Copy anaconda translations
Anaconda translations need copying to /updates/po from ~/anaconda-po see Build_an_Official_ISO#Anaconda translations to get updated strings
cp -R ~/anaconda-po/translate.koozali.org/anaconda/sme$VER/* /build/smeserver/stage/$VER/x86_64/updates/po/
Copy anaconda content to create product.img
See ~/smeserver/cdrom.image/sme$VER/updates/README.txt for details of what to copy. The patched anaconda files from ~/smeserver/rpms/anaconda/sme$VER will go to updates directory. The exact directory depends on the anaconda version, eg ~/smeserver/rpms/anaconda/sme$VER/anaconda-21.48.22.56
if first time running cvs (here example as anonymous, but can use your login):
mkdir -p ~/smeserver pushd ~/smeserver cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@shell.koozali.org:/cvs/smeserver co -P rpms/anaconda popd
then you can simply
pushd ~/smeserver/rpms/anaconda/sme10/ cvs update -dPA make prep popd pushd /build/smeserver/stage/$VERSION/x86_64/product/ /bin/cp -f --preserve=timestamps ~/smeserver/rpms/anaconda/sme10/anaconda-21.48.22.159/pyanaconda/installclasses/koozali.py run/install/product/pyanaconda/installclasses/ /bin/cp -f --preserve=timestamps ~/smeserver/rpms/anaconda/sme10/anaconda-21.48.22.159/pyanaconda/installclasses/koozali.py usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/installclasses/ /bin/cp -f --preserve=timestamps ~/smeserver/rpms/anaconda/sme10/anaconda-21.48.22.159/pyanaconda/installclasses/centos.py usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/installclasses/ /bin/cp -f --preserve=timestamps ~/smeserver/rpms/anaconda/sme10/anaconda-21.48.22.159/pyanaconda/installclasses/fedora.py usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/installclasses/ popd
For testing purpose you can do this, but BUILD SCRIPT DOES IT ! build new product.img and copy it to stage, if you want but it should be done by the build.ISO script
#find . | cpio -c -o | gzip -9cv > ../product.img; cd .. #mkdir -p /build/smeserver/stage/$VER/x86_64/images/ #cp product.img /build/smeserver/stage/$VER/x86_64/images/

Hard links
As an example how to create the hard links:
cp -lr /build/smeserver/repo/testing/$VERPREV/smeos/* /build/smeserver/repo/$TO/$VERSION/smeos/ mkdir -p /build/smeserver/repo/$TO/$VERSION/smeaddons/ mkdir -p /build/smeserver/repo/$TO/$VERSION/smecontribs/ mkdir -p /build/smeserver/repo/$TO/$VERSION/smedev/ mkdir -p /build/smeserver/repo/$TO/$VERSION/smeextras/ mkdir -p /build/smeserver/repo/$TO/$VERSION/smetest/ mkdir -p /build/smeserver/repo/$TO/$VERSION/smeupdates/ mkdir -p /build/smeserver/repo/$TO/$VERSION/smeupdates-testing/ cp -lr /build/smeserver/repo/$FROM/$VERPREV/smecontribs/* /build/smeserver/repo/$TO/$VERSION/smecontribs/ cp -lr /build/smeserver/repo/$FROM/$VERPREV/smedev/* /build/smeserver/repo/$TO/$VERSION/smedev/ cp -lr /build/smeserver/repo/$FROM/$VERPREV/smeextras/* /build/smeserver/repo/$TO/$VERSION/smeextras/ cp -lr /build/smeserver/repo/$FROM/$VERPREV/smetest/* /build/smeserver/repo/$TO/$VERSION/smetest/ cp -lr /build/smeserver/repo/$FROM/$VERPREV/smeupdates/* /build/smeserver/repo/$TO/$VERSION/smeupdates/ cp -lr /build/smeserver/repo/$FROM/$VERPREV/smeupdates-testing/* /build/smeserver/repo/$TO/$VERSION/smeupdates-testing/ cp -lr /build/smeserver/repo/$FROM/$VERPREV/smeaddons/* /build/smeserver/repo/$TO/$VERSION/smeaddons/
Switch main version link
and finally
rm -f /build/smeserver/$TO/testing/$VER pushd /build/smeserver/$TO/testing/ ln -s $VERSION $VER popd
then you can mv from testing to main folder
