Pidora SOP

Intro

This page covers how one can manage the various needed parts of a complete release process. This includes the other SOP pages containing file configurations and/or quick command line references for the following procedures:

1. Building packages
2. Signing packages
3. Creating repositories
4. Composing images

Building Packages

Koji-Follow Configuration SOPs

• http://zenit.senecac.on.ca/wiki/index.php/Koji_Follow

How-To-Run

• ssh <your_username>@japan
• sudo kojiadmin
• screen -xr follow
• python ~/koji-follow.py ~/koji-follow.conf > ~/logs/kfo.log 2> ~/logs/kfe.log

Signing Packages

Sigul Configuration SOPs

• http://zenit.senecac.on.ca/wiki/index.php/Sigul_Signing_Server_Setup
• http://zenit.senecac.on.ca/wiki/index.php/Cdot_sigul_sop

Mash Command Line Execution

• /usr/local/bin/mashrun-pidora-18

Composing Images

Before you can attempt to run a compose you should check to make sure that the following packages are installed:

• anaconda
• lorax

SSH to the arm device you want to run the compose on. chroot into the armv6hl directory on the arm device.

• chroot /root/f17v6

cd into the livemedia directory or where ever your kickstart file is located.

• cd /livemedia

Run the provided Livemedia-Creator command provided below to start the compose process.

Example Kickstart File

http://scotland.proximity.on.ca/raspberrypi/test-releases/rpfr18v6/latest/pidora-18.ks

Example Livemedia-Creator Command

• livemedia-creator --make-disk --no-virt --image-only --keep-image --ks=rpfr-18.ks

• command details

-h, --help For more info on commands
--make-disk Build a disk image
--no-virt Use Anaconda's image install instead of virt-install
--image-only Exit after creating disk image.
--ks KS Kickstart file defining the install.

Example Post Script Execution

You may have more than one %post section, which can be useful for cases where some post-installation scripts need to be run in the chroot and others that need access outside the chroot.

%post section is required to be closed with a corresponding %end

Post Section Options

• command details

--nochroot
Allows you to specify commands that you would like to run outside of the chroot environment.

--interpreter /usr/bin/python
Allows you to specify a different scripting language, such as Python. Replace /usr/bin/python with the scripting language of your choice.

--erroronfail
If the post-installation script fails, this option will cause an error dialog to be displayed and will halt installation. The error message will direct you to where the cause of the failure is logged.

--log=

Example Post Installation Script "Creating/Modifying the fstab"

cat << EOF > /etc/fstab
LABEL="rootfs" / ext4 defaults,noatime 1 1
LABEL="boot" /boot vfat noauto,comment=systemd.automount 1 2
EOF
