Hello, The OBS Light team http://wiki.meego.com/OBS_Light has just released the Beta version off the OBSLight-fakeobs addon. FakeOBS has been originally created by the MER project and we have modified it for our needs. Our goal is to ease the import of a pre-boot strapped full distribution such as MeeGo TV or Tizen IVI in a private OBS instance. What has been released ======================= OBSLight-fakeobs enables to deliver pre-boot strapped complete OBS project(s) as a simple tar file (might be big!) which can be added to an OBSLight-server by a simple command. The added new project(s) is accessible through obslight server via the fakeobs project link. Branching off any packages from the fake OBS in your local OBS is possible and building against the added project is availble by a simple click on an icon. Note: As the tools to create the tar file are not yet well documented, we have created a set of three projects tar file for easy import as a demo. We have used the recently published Tizen IVI. Tizen_1.0_Base-1.0.tar.gz, Tizen_1.0_IVI-1.0.tar.gz, Tizen_1.0_Main-1.0.tar.gz They can be found on test hosting http://tizen.fridu.net/ .That link will likely be removed in few weeks. Depending of your internet access speed expect 1 to 2 hours to complete that Howto. In practice outside of the download time, 30mn should be more than adequate. For my appliance, I use Virtual box because it's easy to setup and delivered as default on most distro. It should also work on other virtualisation system (thanks to Suse Studio). Howto ===== Server side ----------- The server can be a simple good developer desktop. It will need 8GB or RAM (16GB is better, 4GB is only OK for an evaluation). Install OBSLightServer appliance. It is preconfigured for MeeGo and Tizen. http://susestudio.com/a/e0uuBG/meego-obs I advise you to allocate to the appliance 8GB and 4 CPUs if you want to compile big packages such as Webkit, For smaller packages 4GB and 2 CPUs will do (the more is the best). Connect as root on the obslightserver appliance (default passwd is opensuse) Install the obslight-fakeobs package zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel\ :/languages:/python/openSUSE_11.4/devel:languages:python.repo zypper install obslight-fakeobs (following commands are needed due to a bug under correction) rcfake obsstatus -> if status is non active after a reboot insserv /etc/init.d/fakeobs rcfakeobs restart Download the Tizen project needed to work on IVI (Base->1.8GB, Main->2.8GB, IVI->5.1GB) wget http://tizen.fridu.net/Tizen_1.0_Base-1.0.tar.gz;\ wget http://tizen.fridu.net/Tizen_1.0_IVI-1.0.tar.gz;\ http://tizen.fridu.net/Tizen_1.0_Main-1.0.tar.gz;\ Depending of your internet access performance, you may have a coffee or a 4 courses lunch :-) Create the link to the fakeobs in your obs appliance obslight-fakeobs createlink Import your project and create an icon to build against it obslight-fakeobs import Tizen_1.0_Base-1.0.tar.gz "Tizen:1.0:Base" obslight-fakeobs import Tizen_1.0_Main-1.0.tar.gz "Tizen:1.0:Main" obslight-fakeobs import Tizen_1.0_IVI-1.0.tar.gz "Tizen:1.0:IVI" Your obslightserver is now fully available Client side ----------- Install obslight (these 1st phases only use osc mic but many dependencies issues are fixed in the obslight repo and we will use the GUI in this HowTo :-) http://wiki.meego.com/OBS_Light_Installation If you are a Mac or Windows user (or have a non supported distro) an OBSLight appliance is also available. http://susestudio.com/a/e0uuBG/obs-light Check which packages are available on your obslightserver appliance osc -A http://obslightserver:444 ls osc ls fakeobs:Tizen:1.0:Base (first time you will be asked your userID and passwd) osc -A http://obslightserver:444 ls osc ls fakeobs:Tizen:1.0:Main osc -A http://obslightserver:444 ls osc ls fakeobs:Tizen:1.0:IVI Branch a package from the fakeobs downloaded projects Connect on the API of your OBS appliance which by default is at https://obslightserver:444 Create one or more user(s) Connect on the WebUI of obslightserver https://obslightserver (next step is due to a 'special' obs feature) log as Admin (default passwd opensuse) create a home project to Admin logout Log in with your newly created user name Create your home page Create a subproject named "test" (from the top menu bar) (you will be moved in that new sub project) Select from the top menu the "Packages" actions Click "Branch Package from other project" Enter 'fakeobs':Tizen:1.0:Main as "Name of original project:" Enter 'sensor' as "Name of package in original project:" (note auto completion does not work very well, do not enter the "'" you can use osc to list existing packages) Build your newly branched package Add a build target Click on "build target" (on the right of the screen) Select near the OBSLight icon (blue penguin) "Tizen 1.0 Main" Click on "Overview" menu item You see "package is building" After about 1mn click on the refresh build status (2 arrows in a circle) You see Succeeded:1 Create an image with Tizen and your branched package Download your kickstart file (.ks) (Note you cannot use groups on your live private repo) You have an ivi version without groups here http://tizen.fridu.net/kickstarts/tizen-ivi-min-pc.ks save it with a .ks extension Launch obslightgui Activate the "MIC Project" (2nd) tabulation Click on the button "New" on the bottom left Enter a name (e.g. Test) The new Mic project appears in the list of Mic projects Select the newly create project Activate the "Project Option" (1st) tabulation Import the kickstart file Activate the Repositories (3rd) tabulation Exclude sensor from both base and main repos Enter 'sensor' in the (9th) column "Excluded packages" Change the host name if needed. Retrieve the url of your local branch (from the WebUI) https://obslightserver/project/show?project=home%3AUSER%3Atest Select the menu "Overview" Click on "Tizen_1.0_Main" Click on "Go to download repository" Copy the URL (from the obslightgui-> Mic Project-> Repositories tab) Enter the copied URL Create an alias (e.g MyBranch) Activate the "Project Option" (1st) tabulation Click "Create Image" Click on view log to see progress (wait about 2mn) Click on "Open project directory" Check the status in the log file Export your image by tftp and nfs and run a test. For further test on the same package you can run zypper directly from the target after adding your test branch as an extra repo with a zypper command. Building on your local PC ------------------------- Due to the change in the package structure from MeeGo to Tizen , the direct work on packages from obslightgui present some problem (it is not possible on Base), we will come back to this mailing list with a HowTo as soon as a reliable model will have been found (I hope this week) Known Limits and bugs ----------------------------- - the Python devel repo lust be added manually to the appliance zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel\ :/languages:/python/openSUSE_11.4/devel:languages:python.repo - after installation of the package obslight-fakeobs you still to activate the service for reboot with the command insserv /etc/init.d/fakeobs; rcfakeobs restart (should be corrected soon and might have gone before that you test) - you cannot walk the available project pointed by the fakeobs link project from the WebUI (that limit is there to stay for a while) - we do our test only with obslightserver appliance. It should work with any OBS but that is out of our focus. - when creating a branch the project name auto completion is not available you need to enter it (e.g. fakeobs:Tizen:1.0:Base) - when creating a branch the package name auto completion is not reliable. You actually might need to enter the package name in total. - OBS Light GUI does not work yet with Tizen:Base (we work on it) Feedback is welcomed.
