Description of work + goals
At the beginning of the Winter 2010 semester the Software Build and Release 600 class set out to build a Koji build system for the ARM architecture. Koji is the software that builds and tests packages for the Fedora Project. At the center of Koji operations is the Koji Hub. The Koji Hub is an XML-RPC server that receives and relies upon calls from the Koji Builder Daemons and other Koji components to initiate communications. The plan was to initially set up all components of the Koji build system on the one server, with the Koji builder Daemons running on Virtual ARM Machines. After installation and configuration of the PostgreSQL, the Koji Hub would be configured, followed by the other components of Koji including the Koji Web (which provides a web interface for Koji operations), Kojira (responsible for Koji repository creation and maintenance) and finally the set up of the actual builders themselves.
Results + What we’ve accomplished
At the close of the semester we currently have a functional Koji Build system. The Koji Hub is successfully dispatching packages to the Koji builder Daemons and Kojira is creating new repositories for use with the ARM architecture. On the path to success some issues encountered included
- Problems using the PostgreSQL database
- After what appeared to be a successful installation and configuration, Koji builders were listed as not being fully functional, this appeared to be an issue with the Koji Hub but was later determined to be a lack of disk space on the Koji builders.
-Authentication using SSL certificates - Various configuration issues
