Packaging – Infrastructure setup

Wednesday, July 29th, 2009

For packaging purposes (see my previous entry) I think to need some infrastructure. Specifically:

  • An internal subversion repository for spec files (before posting them on fedora)
  • Mock (also look here) to build in a chrooted environment

The subversion repository will be hosted on my soho server at home with dynamic ip (obviously in a ssh setting), which runs on CentOS. The mock environment is just a sudo yum install mock on my machines.

I was also toying with the idea of installing Koji and run a build server on my little atom 330, but perhaps that is overkill.

Getting lost

Thursday, June 25th, 2009

At Byte-code meetup I just launched the idea for a new projet to support the Prince2 project management methodology.

Right now, I just registered at sourceforge and nothing else. But the plan is clear (and will be managed in a Prince2 manner, by the way):

  • Django / Python powered
  • GPL v2
  • Integration with external tools ( trac comes to mind, but also taskjuggler )

Django is a little hazard – never programmed seriously in Python, and the Django world is a new one for me. Anyway, I am just willing to move away from the Java world for a while.

Now comes the best – I will try to do it using Fedora way . This means that every additional package (Python or Django) will be rpm’ed.

Django by itself it’s a no-brainer – just yum install Django (observe the capital ‘D’ here), but I was looking at Pinax and some more Django extensions, mostly hosted at google code.

Benefits of this plan:

  • Enhance package building knowledge
  • Easy installation
  • Really join fedora community

So I will create a new category, starting today, where I will summarize my steps. Stay tuned.
