ACBS

ACBS is still under heavy development, but is currently deployed for packaging for AOSC OS.

ACBS (AutoBuild CI Build System) is a re-implementation of the original ABBS (AutoBuild Build Service) in Python. The re-implementation aims to improve the horrible reliability and agility of its predecessor, adding with:

• Multi-tree support (a "forest", so to speak).
• Checksum verification support.
• Cache cleaning and management support.
• Logging support.
• Proper dependency calculation (automatic build sequences, useful for bootstrapped bases).

Extra blings are also included:

• Build timing utilities.
• More detailed error messages.

Dependencies

Mandatory:

• Python 3 (>= 3.6): Running the program itself.
• GNU File (libmagic): File type detection.
• Util-Linux: File checksum verification.
• LibArchive (bsdtar): Archive handling.
• GNU Wget or Aria2: Source downloading.
• Autobuild4: Package building.

Optional:

• libmagic: Python module to detect file type.
• libapt-pkg: Query package information.
• libarchive-c: Python module to handle archives.
• pycrypto: Python module to verify file checksums.
• ptyprocess, pexpect: Build logging.

Deployment

ACBS could be deployed in any appropriate directories, and is invoked by calling acbs-build.py (you may create a symlink for your convenience). You would need to create a configuration file before using ACBS.

ACBS uses an INI-like configuration controlling trees to be used, the configuration file should be stored in /etc/acbs/forest.conf.

A bare-minimal example is shown below:

[default]
location = /usr/lib/acbs/repo

If you are feeling smart, variable substitutions are also acceptable:

[vars]
base = /mnt

[default]
location = ${vars:base}/aosc-os-abbs

By default, ACBS builds packages from the tree defined in the [default] block.

Usage

usage: acbs-build [-h] [-v] [-d] [-t ACBS_TREE] [-q ACBS_QUERY] [-w] [-c] [-k] [-g] [-r STATE_FILE] [packages [packages ...]]
