Introduction
Buildservice
https://build.opensuse.org/project/add_target_simple?project=KDE%3ANetbook
For now x86 base factory, 11.2
Command line tool "osc" (try to get a not too old version) and build tool (for debian: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/Tools/Debian_5.0/all/build_2010.02.02-1_all.deb). For Suse install packages osc and build.
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/Tools/
To get the project:
osc co KDE:Netbook
Build locally:
osc build images i586 kde-four-live.kiwi
On debian the signature of the packages can not be verified, so I turned that off (needs to be fixed):
osc build images i586 kde-four-live.kiwi --no-verify --linksources
Packages
A short description of what we have in the project.
Most packages come from openSuse.
- plasma-image this is the resulting usb stick image (or whatever)
- plasma-netbook-desktop this package will contain our modifications (for example starting the netbook plasma shell by default)
KIWI - creating a harddisk image
As base we use KDE Four Live.
The description what will be built in the end is in the .kiwi file.
Find it in your checkout in KDE:Netbook/plasma-image/kde-four-live.kiwi
For more documentation about KIWI, see here:
http://en.opensuse.org/KIWI http://en.opensuse.org/Build_Service/KIWI/Cookbook
On the website: we can configure whether to publish (expert flags).
The status of the build can be seen on the project page: https://build.opensuse.org/project/add_target_simple?project=KDE%3ANetbook there are some build repositories:
- images: the kiwi image, that will be the iso
- openSUSE_11.2: the open suse stable repo
- openSUSE_Factory: the newer kde builds, when we want bleeding edge
The openSUSE repos are needed when we create custom packages.
