= Description of work + goals The Koji Build System =

At the beginning of the Winter 2010 semester the Software Build and Release 600 class set out to build create 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.= Koji Components = Koji Hub - an XML-RPC server that receives and relies upon calls from the Koji Builder Daemons and other Koji components to initiate communications. Koji Web - an interactive web interface that runs on mod_python modules in the Apache Web Server. The Koji Web provides an interface for Koji users to see the status of queued builds and information for trouble shooting unsuccessful build attempts. Koji Builder Daemon - the build daemon that runs on each of the Koji build machines and is responsible for polling the Koji Hub for build requests. Once a request is received for the Koji Hub the Koji Builder will initiate a test build of the software package ensuring there are no errors, if errors are detected they are logged for further analysis.
