package management

A brief summary of HAIKU's package management.

Blog post by mmadia on Mon, 2012-08-20 21:26

With the announcement of Ingo and Oliver's contracts for package management, it is worthwhile to revisit how package management will function. When reading, keep in mind that this explanation will be condensed, simplified, and partially incomplete. Nonetheless, it will provide a general overview on how things will work.

Batisseur Midterm: Gravatars, packaging sugar, and achievements

I’m in the middle of my planned vacation in New Mexico. I recently wrote a new feature for haikuporter emulating the style of homebrew’s create command. (It makes as much of the bep file for you as can be automated.) I’ve written a haikuporter (or later pkgman) wrapper to handle the achievements. It works like git-achievements you alias over the command and check the switches/commands. I’ve moved over some code to redis, and have gotten their development branch to build on alpha3 (Stable used to work back a few revs.). If you have ideas for achievements please file them in the issues tracker

I’ve implemented Gravatar support in the points board web app, it needs to be fleshed out more from the html side, if anyone has design questions or suggestions on how to implement this HaikuPoints system with regard to existing Haiku website features let me know.

The build drone “queen” controller I’ve been thinking about and will use a unique identifier for build jobs to allow cross-referencing with a list of available builds. (i.e. delegating responsibility of picking a useful build up to the client.) The unique ID would be based on GCC, Haiku version (release or nightly), and git-sha or a GUID. This will also allow for the build names to reference a camlistore sha1-blob with build information and binaries. I will be investigating if Jenkins is a good fit for receiving this data or if I will write a viewer for packagers to get build logs.

Package Management: Queries, Solutions, and the Status Quo

Alas the time of my contract with Haiku, Inc. is up. So besides giving some details about the query support and libsolv port which I've been working on since my last post, I'll also summarize where Haiku's package management stands now and what still needs to be done.

Package Management: Bits and Pieces

Time does fly. It has already been two weeks since my previous blog post, so I guess an update is in order. The support for shine-through directories and the package links has been implemented as planned and works nicely as far as I have tested them. Other than that I've worked on a few odds and ends.

Batisseur Check-in

A lot of commits have happened since I last blogged on my GSOC Project. The big hitters are:

  • the framework of a rankings website for users’ point totals
  • A non-regex parser I wrote because I’m impatient (I’m going to test its speed.)
  • The begining of the http server that will inform user’s builddrones of availible jobs (builds) [Basically it tells you if packages have been updated so you can build them]
  • Verified that Camlistore (on python) can work on Haiku.
  • A Jenkins API wrapper for magic to happen (I think it may be the perfect thing to handle build logs and results)
  • Redis
  • Redis
  • Redis

Progress is coming along, I recently [On the 15th] returned from a tour of France. There is a second period later in the summer I’ll have unknown-connectivity, but I’ll still be coding then.

Package Management: System in a Package

After a week of working on the package management support as per my contract with Haiku, Inc., I have reached my first milestone: The base system is packaged... and it boots again. Here's a short account of what I have been doing exactly and what I'm up to next.

One month has passed (too fast), so it's time to summarize the developments
in the fields of package management for Haiku.
