Revision as of 11:08, 12 October 2012

Packages are built in a [Jenkins] installation at https://pgdgbuild.dus.dg-i.net/jenkins/ (login required).

We are using Mika Prokop's [Jenkins-Debian-Glue] scripts.

For every package, there are two jobs:

• foobar-source builds .dsc source packages from an VCS repository
• foobar-binaries builds .deb binary packages from the source packages

These jobs then trigger common jobs:

• postgresql-testsuite runs the postgresql-common testsuite on the server packages built
• dput uploads the source and binary packages to the repository host

Creating New Jobs

New jobs should use the templating mechanism provided by JoelJ's [Templating plugin].

• Go to "Scaffolding"
• Select the scaffold for the VCS the package is using, e.g. "git-package"
• "Stand up" the scaffold, and fill in the variables
  • giturl: Git URL for the package
  • package: package name
• Go to the new source job (called like git-source-templatepackage), select configure, and rename the job to package-source
• Go to the new binaries job (called like postgresql-binaries-templatepackage), select configure, and rename the job to package-binaries
• Configure the package-binaries jobs to trigger the dput project (FIXME: this should be part of the template)
• Hit "build now" on the new source job
• Watch the job's console output
