This week I implemented CMake packaging configuration for FOSSology. There were two meetings in this week and this report covers both of them.
|
|
|
|
## Week 7 Progress
|
|
|
|
> Initial CMake packaging configuration implemented.
|
|
>
|
|
> - Packages can be built according to the FOSSology previous packaging structure.
|
|
> - Copyright, ecc and keyword now builds faster.
|
|
> - To test the current progress, follow the instructions [here](https://github.com/avinal/FOSSology/wiki#test-the-new-system-only-gcc-with-make-and-ninja-tested-for-now)

## Discussions
|
|
|
|
- **Where I can find packaging info for FOSSology?**
|
|
- All the scripts and companion files are located inside `debian`
|
|
folder.
|
|
- The most important files are `control`, which contains the
|
|
dependency and description of each package, and `rules` file, which
|
|
contains the make commands for creating the packages.
|
|
- **What are** `${shlibs:Depends}` **and** `${misc:Depends}` ?
|
|
- They are dependencies required for creating Debian packages. CMake
|
|
should be adding them by default so we can safely ignore them.
|
|
- **Will the new packages have the same structure as the old ones?**
|
|
*(Michael)*
|
|
- Yes for compatibility purposes Gaurav has suggested exactly follow
|
|
the same structure as the old one.
|
|
- **Copyright build is slow because the same object files are being
|
|
compiled three times, can you improve that?** *(Gaurav)*
|
|
- I can try compiling the common object files beforehand and then
|
|
adding the executables. But how to know the common object files?
|
|
- Gaurav showed me where in the Makefiles I can find the common object
|
|
files.
|
|
- There are problems with copying the symbolic link and packaging them.
|
|
So I have to find some alternatives to resolve that.
|
|
- With component installing, package description can no longer be set.
|
|
- The `fossology-common` package contains file from `fossology-db`
|
|
package. And the `fossology-db` package is empty.
|
|
- Gaurav said this was unexpected and should not happen. This seems to
|
|
be a very old bug with packaging.
|
|
|
|
## Conclusion and Further Plans
|
|
|
|
- Work more on the packaging.
|
|
- Improve compilation of copyright and monk agents
|
|
- Try to solve the packaging bug and add a pull request for that.
|
|
- Move on to implementing testing configurations.
