Developer tooling framework for Clear Linux

This repository includes scripts, configuration files, and makefiles that enable Clear Linux developers to manage, maintain, and validate changes to distro packages and projects that are maintained in git repositories. Development workflows are makefile-driven, and there is a particular focus on building Clear Linux packages.

Getting started

First steps

  • Boot a Clear Linux system.
  • As the root user, install the os-clr-on-clr bundle:
# swupd bundle-add os-clr-on-clr

Automated setup

Download the user setup script and run it on your Clear Linux system as an unprivileged user.

$ curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/clearlinux/common/main/user-setup.sh
$ chmod +x user-setup.sh
$ ./user-setup.sh

After the script completes, make sure to logout and login again to complete the setup process.

The script accepts several options, or no options at all. The options are documented in the script's --help output. Note that if you are supplying any of the three Koji cert options (-k, -s, or -c), the other two options must be supplied as well.

If you do not wish to run the user-setup script, see the "Manual setup" section below for hints about how to initialize the tooling workspace.

Example usage

Build RPMs for a package

In every repo cloned to the packages tree, several make commands are available for managing a given package. For example, you can build source, binary, and debuginfo RPMs for a package by running make build.

To build RPMs for the coreutils package, do the following:

$ cd packages/coreutils
$ make build

The results of make build are stored in the results directory within the repo.

Run make help to see other make commands that are available to work with the package.

Keep up-to-date with latest changes

Due to the frequent release cadence, you may wish to keep repos in the workspace up-to-date with the most recent changes. To do so, run make pull in the toplevel directory of the workspace. Assuming your current working directory is a package repo, do:

$ cd ../..
$ make pull

A make pull will display the diffstat for each project and package repo with changes since you last updated the workspace.

If new packages were added to the distro since the last update, clone the new package repos by running make clone.

Run make help to see other make commands available to run at toplevel.

Autogenerate a new package

The toplevel makefile provides a make autospecnew command that can automatically generate an RPM package by using the autospec tool. You must define the URL and NAME variables for the command. URL is a URL to the package's upstream source tarball, and NAME is the name of the package you wish to create.

$ make autospecnew URL="..." NAME="example-pkg"

Whether or not autospec successfully creates the package, a new package directory will be created to continue work on it. In the example below, a missing build dependency is added, and then autospec is re-run.

$ cd packages/example-pkg
$ echo missing-build-req >> buildreq_add
$ make autospec

Please see https://github.com/clearlinux/autospec#common-files for documention on buildreq_add and the other files autospec uses during the build process.

Bump the release number for a package

If you simply need to increment a package's release number and rebuild the package, a make bump command is available for this purpose.

$ make bump
$ make build

Update the release version for a package

If you have an update release version for a package, you can change the url for the new release in the package/example-pkg/Makefile. After modifying the new url, run make autospec again to fetch the new package and rebuild.

$ make autospec

Other topics

Customizing the mock config

In the past, the various make commands that call mock required a mock config installed at /etc/mock/clear.cfg. However, at present, the commands will instead use the mock config within this repo (conf/clear.cfg).

If you wish to use a custom mock config, you must override the MOCK_CONF variable to specify a different value to pass to mock's -r option. The value is either a full path that ends with .cfg, or a config NAME installed at /etc/mock/<NAME>.cfg. You can override the MOCK_CONF config variable by redefining it in Makefile.config.site_local, which must reside at the toplevel directory in this repo.

For example, to retain the old behavior of mock using /etc/mock/clear.cfg, add this line to Makefile.config.site_local:

MOCK_CONF = /etc/mock/clear.cfg

If Makefile.config.site_local doesn't exist already, create it.
