Gbs build using local repo

I describe below the procedure to setup and build from a local repository.



The git build system resolves dependencies, if any, for a package by

downloading dependent package libraries from the repositories specified in

the ~/.gbs.conf file. In order to speed up a build, local repositories can

be setup.  A local repository is a mirror of repository hosted at, for

example, releases repository. In order to setup a local repository, execute

the following commands:



 $ pwd

 /home/vijaykz

 $ mkdir local-repo

 $ cd local-repo

 $ wget -r -nH -nd -x -c

http://download.tizen.org/releases/daily/2.0alpha/common/latest/





The wget command will download the files and create a directory structure

as in the URL. Once repository is downloaded, update the ~/.gbs.conf file

to point to the folder (example, local-repo):





[general]

#Current profile name which should match a profile section name

profile = profile.tizen

[profile.tizen]

#Common authentication info for whole profile

#user =

#CAUTION: please use the key name "passwd" to reset plaintext password

#passwd =

obs = obs.tizen

#Comma separated list of repositories

repos = repo.tizen_latest

[obs.tizen]

#OBS API URL pointing to a remote OBS.

url = https://api.tizen.org

#Optional user and password, set if differ from profile's user and password

#user =

#passwd =

[repo.tizen_latest]

#Build against repo's URL

url = /home/vijaykz/local-repo/releases/daily/2.0alpha/common/latest

[repo.tizen_base]

url =

/home/vijaykz/local-repo/releases/daily/2.0alpha/common/latest/repos/tizen-base/armv7l/packages/

[repo.tizen_main]

url =

/home/vijaykz/local-repo/releases/daily/2.0alpha/common/latest/repos/tizen-main/armv7l/packages/





If a local repository is being used for the first time, it requires

additional configurations. GBS requires build configuration data, which it

downloads and saves it as /var/tmp/test-gbs/tizen.conf. Since we now use

local repository, we need to manually input the build configuration file.

But prior to that, copy the build.conf to your home directory for easy

usage:



 $ pwd

 /home/vijaykz/local-repo/releases/daily/2.0alpha/common/latest/builddata

 $ cp

a300db37ca06dc0948bf006eaf2a15fa0481ac5ef64e1a71695bd6b84901f667-build.conf

~/build.conf



*Note*: The alphanumerical string appearing before "-build.conf" is random

and could be different for you than what is shown.





To build now, specify the build configuration file using the -D option:



$ gbs build -A armv7l -D ~/build.conf



These instructions will help you to setup a local repository and build

packages locally.  However, further configurations are still required if

you want MIC to be able to use the local repository.  For that, I provide

the steps to carry out below:



The kickstart file specifies the location of repositories to be used. If

you have setup a local repository, then you would probably want to source

package binaries from the local, instead of remote, repositories. In order

to do that, follow the steps:



Add the following line in the kickstart file to specify the repository:



repo --name=Tizen-base

--baseurl=file:/home/vijaykz/Z/custom-repo/releases/daily/2.0alpha/common/latest/repos/tizen-base/armv7l/packages/

repo --name=Tizen-main

--baseurl=file:/home/vijaykz/Z/custom-repo/releases/daily/2.0alpha/common/latest/repos/tizen-main/armv7l/packages/



Note that you will have to update the path that is specific to your machine.





Next step is to configure the bootstrap section of the /etc/mic/mic.conf to

point to the local version.



First, download the micbootstrap folder:



 $ pwd

 /home/vijaykz/mic

 $ wget -r -nH -nd -x -c http://download.tizen.org/tools/micbootstrap/



Next, update the /etc/mic/mic.conf as follows:



[bootstrap1]

name=micbootstrap

bootstrap=file:/home/vijaykz/mic/tools/micbootstrap/

#bootstrap=http://download.tizen.org/tools/micbootstrap/



Now, you are ready to create a file system image from a repository set

locally on your machine!
