Packaging

D-Installer packages are available in the YaST:Head:D-Installer project in OBS. This document summarizes the process we follow to build those packages.

The process to build the Ruby-based ones (rubygem-d-installer and rubygem-d-installer-cli) is different from the one we use to build the web UI (cockpit-d-installer). The former packages are built in the same way that other YaST packages (through Rake tasks), while the latter package is automatically built in the Open Build Service.

Releasing a new version

In order to release a new version, we need to:

Update the version number in the VERSION file in the corresponding subdirectory. These files are read by the Ruby-based packages when building the gems.
Tag the repository with the proper number. The process to build cockpit-d-installer uses this information to infer the version. You can set the tag with something like:
```
git tag --sign 0.5 --message "Version 0.5"
git push --tags
```

Building the packages

After updating the releasing information and commiting those changes to the repository, it is time to update the packages in the build service.

Service

You can check the current package in YaST:Head:D-Installer/rubygem-d-installer.

Given that you are in the service directory, just type the following command to update the package in the build service:

  rake osc:commit

If you just want to build the package locally, run:

  rake osc:build

The Cockpit module

The current package is YaST:Head:D-Installer/cockpit-d-installer. It relies on OBS Source Services to fetch the sources (including the dependencies), set the version and build the package. You can figure out most details by checking the _service file.

To update the package in the build service, you just need to type:

  osc service manualrun
  osc commit -m "Update sources"

If you want to build the package locally, just checkout (or branch) the package and run osc build.

The version number is inferred from the repository tags (see Releasing a new version): it uses the latest tag and the offset of the latest commit respect such a tag. (e.g., 0.1~2).

You can read more about the overall approach of this package in the following article: Git work flows in the upcoming 2.7 release.

Command-line interface

The current package is YaST:Head:D-Installer. Bear in mind that the sources are in a different repository. To update the package in the build service, run the following commands:

  osc service runall
  osc addremove *
  osc commit -m "Update sources"

If you want to build the package locally, just checkout (or branch) the package and run osc build.

The version number is inferred from the repository tags (see Releasing a new version): it uses the latest tag and the offset of the latest commit respect such a tag. (e.g., 0.1~2).

The Live ISO

The ISO is built and developed in YaST:Head:D-Installer/d-installer-live. See IMAGE.md for more details.
