Archive:How to setup a build server

This article about the Open Build Service is obsolete!

Created with the help of SUSE Build Tutorial.

1.) install standard KDE install + y2pmsh + yast2-instserver

mkdir -p /work/dist/opensuse/10.0/

2.) Use yast --> Misc yast2instserver to create an installation source in /work/dist/opensuse/ and create an installsource called 10.0

3.) Change the Yast --> Software --> Installation Source to this new local source and also add one of these online sources

to be able to access some missing packs.

mkdir -p /work/build/
mkdir -p /work/repository/10.0

4.) vi /etc/y2pmbuild/dists/10.0 and change the email and locations.

5.) use your own email address

cd /etc/y2pmbuild
gpg --gen-key
gpg -a --export user@example.com > signkey.asc
gpg -a --export-secret-key user@example.com >> signkey.asc

6.) Put export BUILD_DIST=10.0 into /etc/profile

cd /etc/y2pmbuild/dists
ln -s 10.0 10.0-i386
