python obs

This directory contains the build scripts for the python-copasi Open Build Service project, that is currently kept here:

https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:fbergman:COPASI/python-copasi

Creating a package for python-copasi

32bit Linux

1. checkout and build the copasi-dependencies project
2. create an archive of the bin directory called dependencies-32.tar.gz (the contents of the archive should be the bin, lib, include and share directories i.e. no additional subdirectories.)
3. build COPASI regularly, configured with python and using the copasi-dependencies project.
4. call createSE.sh with the build dir as argument, in order to create an archive se-32.tar.gz
5. copy those two archives onto some share, so that you can get onto those files later. Below this will be called the dependency dir.

64bit Linux

1. checkout and build the copasi-dependencies project
2. create an archive of the bin directory called dependencies-64.tar.gz (the contents of the archive should be the bin, lib, include and share directories i.e. no additional subdirectories.)
3. build COPASI regularly, configured with python and using the copasi-dependencies project.
4. call createSE.sh with the build dir as argument, in order to create an archive se-64.tar.gz
5. copy those two archives onto some share, so that you can get onto those files later. Below this will be called the dependency dir.

creating the source archive

At this point you should be on either the 32 bit or 64 bit machine, with access to the dependency dir that contains the four files:

• dependencies-32.tar.gz
• dependencies-64.tar.gz
• se-32.tar.gz
• se-64.tar.gz

now you invoke create-package.sh with four arguments:

1. the version to create (defaults to 4.14.92)
2. the source dir (defaults to ../COPASI)
3. the binary dir (defaults to ../package)
4. the dependency dir (defaults to /mnt/hgfs/share)

This will produce a file called python-copasi-<VERSION>.tar.gz that is ready to be uploaded to OBS.

Triggering an OBS build

To get the build updated, you now go ahead and log into OBS, at:

https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:fbergman:COPASI/python-copasi

and modify as follows:

• upload the python-copasi-<VERSION>.tar.gz file
• edit the debian.changelog with the latest update
• edit the python-copasi.changes with the latest update
• edit the python-copasi.dsc updating the python-copasi-.tar.gz information as well as the VERSION: field
• edit the python-copasi.spec updating only the VERSION:field

at this point obs should have triggered a full rebuild and the new file will be created. Any errors should be logged in the tracker.
