[Foresight-distro] homework (make foresight bootstrap fully inside rMake)

[António Meireles]

Hi all,

It would really help a lot to have all the foresight stack rMake ready.
In short this means that any recipe in fl:1-contrib and fl:1-devel  
(fl:1 comes  from it) should  rMook  inside rMake.

one would need to have in ~/.conaryrc the following

    [fl:1-devel]
    autoResolve True
    buildLabel                foresight.rpath.org at fl:1-devel
    installLabelPath          foresight.rpath.org at fl:1-devel
    foresight.rpath.org at fl:1-contrib conary.rpath.com at rpl:1
    contrib.rpath.org at rpl:1 orleans.rpath.org at rpl:devel

and  then just (inside a work dir) ...

    cvc co PKG=@fl:1-devel
    cd PKG
    rmake build --context fl:1-devel PKG.recipe


Most packages are already rMake friendly but some will fail due to the 
inability of conary to catch all buildReqs (specially python and perl 
ones). This means that one have to carefully look at rMake output 
(usually configure fails) log and  fix buildReqs  to make rMake happy. 
Once one gets the package to cook properly inside rMake it's a matter of 
commiting both the changes and the final cooked package.

             rmake commit SUCESSFULL_rMake_BUILD_JOB_ID

             (and eventually shadow the pkg to fl:1 (if it is already there)

For now, would be nice that *all* new commits were already rMake ready. 
I'll  publish here later a list of all  pkgs  we have atm that  fail to 
be  build inside  rMake.


All the best,
