<title>Creating and Managing Projects</title>

|

Once Hydra is installed and running, the next step is to add
|
||||
projects to the build farm. We follow the example of the <link
|
||||
xlink:href="http://nixos.org/patchelf.html">Patchelf
|
||||
project</link>, a software tool written in C and using the GNU
|
||||
Build System (GNU Autoconf and GNU Automake).
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
Log in to the web interface of your Hydra installation using the
|
||||
user name and password you inserted in the database (by default,
|
||||
Hydra's web server listens on <link
|
||||
xlink:href="http://localhost:3000/"><literal>localhost:3000</literal></link>).
|
||||
Then follow the "Create Project" link to create a new project.
|
||||

<title>Project Information</title>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
A project definition consists of some general information and a
|
||||
set of job sets. The general information identifies a project,
|
||||
its owner, and current state of activity.
|
||||
|
||||
Here's what we fill in for the patchelf project:
|
||||
|
||||
<screen>
|
||||
Identifier: patchelf
|
||||
</screen>
|
||||
|
||||
The <emphasis>identifier</emphasis> is the identity of the
|
||||
project. It is used in URLs and in the names of build results.
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
The identifier should be a unique name (it is the primary
|
||||
database key for the project table in the database). If you try
|
||||
to create a project with an already existing identifier you'd
|
||||
get an error message such as:
|
||||
|
||||
<screen>
|
||||
I'm very sorry, but an error occurred:
|
||||
DBIx::Class::ResultSet::create(): DBI Exception: DBD::SQLite::st execute failed: column name is not unique(19) at dbdimp.c line 402
|
||||
</screen>
|
||||
|
||||
So try to create the project after entering just the general
|
||||
information to figure out if you have chosen a unique name.
|
||||
Job sets can be added once the project has been created.
|
||||
|
||||
<screen>
|
||||
Display name: Patchelf
|
||||
</screen>
|
||||
|
||||
The <emphasis>display name</emphasis> is used in menus.
|
||||
|
||||
<screen>
|
||||
Description: A tool for modifying ELF binaries
|
||||
</screen>
|
||||
|
||||
The <emphasis>description</emphasis> is used as short
|
||||
documentation of the nature of the project.
|
||||
|
||||
<screen>
|
||||
Owner: eelco
|
||||
</screen>
|
||||
|
||||
The <emphasis>owner</emphasis> of a project can create and edit
|
||||
job sets.
|
||||
|
||||
<screen>
|
||||
Enabled: Yes
|
||||
</screen>
|
||||
|
||||
Only if the project is <emphasis>enabled</emphasis> are builds
|
||||
performed.
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
Once created there should be an entry for the project in the
|
||||
sidebar. Go to the project page for the <link
|
||||
xlink:href="http://localhost:3000/project/patchelf">Patchelf</link>
|
||||
project.

||||

|
||||
<title>Job Sets</title>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
A project can consist of multiple <emphasis>job sets</emphasis>
|
||||
(hereafter <emphasis>jobsets</emphasis>), separate tasks that
|
||||
can be built separately, but may depend on each other (without
|
||||
cyclic dependencies, of course). Go to the <link
|
||||
xlink:href="http://localhost:3000/project/patchelf/edit">Edit</link>
|
||||
page of the Patchelf project and "Add a new jobset" by providing
|
||||
the following "Information":
|
||||
|
||||
<screen>
|
||||
Identifier: trunk
|
||||
Description: Trunk
|
||||
Nix expression: release.nix in input patchelfSrc
|
||||
</screen>
|
||||
|
||||
This states that in order to build the <literal>trunk</literal>
|
||||
jobset, the Nix expression in the file
|
||||
<filename>release.nix</filename>, which can be obtained from
|
||||
input <literal>patchelfSrc</literal>, should be
|
||||
evaluated. (We'll have a look at
|
||||
<filename>release.nix</filename> later.)
|
||||
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
To realize a job we probably need a number of inputs, which can
|
||||
be declared in the table below. As many inputs as required can
|
||||
be added. For patchelf we declare the following inputs.
|
||||
|
||||

<title>Building on the Command Line</title>
|

|

Overigens zijn die helemaal niet Hydra-specifiek, je kunt ze gewoon vanaf de
|
||||
command line bouwen, bijv. als je een patchelf checkout hebt (met een nixpkgs
|
||||
checkout in ../nixpkgs):
|
||||
|
||||
<screen>
|
||||
$ nix-build release.nix -A rpm_fedora10i386
