PbulkBuilding
Bulk build notes
Joerg Sonnenberger's new bulk building interface is located in pkgtools/pbulk. On pkgbox, this is located in /archive/NetBSD-pkgsrc.
To do this without affecting the existing pkgsrc setup on the machine you are using, you create a chroot and install pkgsrc twice inside it - once for pbulk and the various support programs, and once for the actual pkgsrc where everything is built.
These notes are taken from Justin Sherrill's test builds on pkgbox.dragonflybsd.org, and from suggestions from Joerg. This reflects using version 0.36 of pbulk.
Setting up the chroot
If getting rid of an earlier install, delete all the files you can, adjust the permissions on the ones left, and then delete what remains.
rm -rf /build/pbulk_chroot
chflags -R noschg /build/pbulk_chroot
rm -rf /build/pbulk_chroot
Create dir for chroot
mkdir /build/pbulk_chroot
Add files to chroot
cd /usr/src
If there was no prior buildworld in this , you'll need to do this step
make DESTDIR=/build/pbulk_chroot buildworld
Add world to chroot
make DESTDIR=/build/pbulk_chroot installworld
note that this is not /etc, but /usr/src/etc
cd etc
make DESTDIR=/build/pbulk_chroot distribution
Additional files that will be needed in the chroot
cp /etc/resolv.conf /build/pbulk_chroot/etc
Make sure you've loaded the linux module if you don't want to get unnecessary messages about unknown ELF types.
kldload linux.ko
Jeremy C. Reed has a large repository of the distfiles for pkgsrc in another directory outside of the chroot; mounting it and adding it to DIST_PATH should make it available, saving the bulk build process (and Matt's bandwidth) from having to download more.
mkdir /build/pbulk_chroot/archive
mount_null /archive /build/pbulk_chroot/archive
Should be ready to go...
chroot /build/pbulk_chroot
/etc/rc.d/ldconfig start
Depending on the version of DragonFly you are using, you may need to mount dev fs.
mount_devfs /dev
Adding pkgsrc bootstrap
Everything past this point is in the chroot!
mkdir /bulklog
mkdir /scratch
mkdir /distfiles
mkdir /packages
Grab the most recent quarterly release of pkgsrc:
setenv CVSROOT anoncvs@anoncvs.NetBSD.org:/cvsroot
setenv CVS_RSH ssh
cd /usr
cvs -q checkout -rpkgsrc-2008Q1 -P pkgsrc
To update the pkgsrc files later
cvs -q update -dP
Put this in /root/mk-base.conf, for use later when building the first bootstrap:
WRKOBJDIR = /scratch
PKGSRCDIR = /usr/pkgsrc
DISTDIR = /distfiles
DIST_PATH = /archive/distfiles
PACKAGES = /packages
FAILOVER_FETCH= yes
SKIP_LICENSE_CHECK= yes
ALLOW_VULNERABLE_PACKAGES= yes
PKG_DEVELOPER?= yes
PKG_DEFAULT_OPTIONS="dri inet6"
We need to create a clean bootstrap kit for later. This installs pkgsrc tools into /usr/pkg_bulk, too.
Keep in mind that if any part of the bootstrap was updated and this is not a from-scratch pbulk setup, you will need to delete all the existing packages in /usr/pkg and in /usr/pkg_bulk using the appropriate pkg_delete.
mkdir /usr/pkg_bulk/
cd /usr/pkgsrc/bootstrap
./bootstrap --prefix /usr/pkg_bulk --pkgdbdir /usr/pkg_bulk/.pkgdb
cd /usr/pkgsrc/pkgtools/pbulk
env PATH=/usr/pkg_bulk/bin:/usr/pkg_bulk/sbin:${PATH} bmake package
cd /usr/pkgsrc/bootstrap
./cleanup
./bootstrap --gzip-binary-kit /usr/pkgsrc/bootstrap/bootstrap.tgz --mk-fragment=/root/mk-base.conf
We need to make a binary kit with the corrected mk.conf so that pbulk is always set up with the right version as it builds/removes/adds packages
cd /usr/pkgsrc/bootstrap
mkdir temp
mv bootstrap.tgz temp
cd temp
tar xf bootstrap.tgz
cp /usr/pkg/etc/mk.conf usr/pkg/etc/mk.conf
tar hzcf ../bootstrap.tar.gz usr var
Edit /usr/pkg_bulk/etc/pbulk.conf and change these lines to what is needed. Be sure to put in a destination for the rsync command, as a side effect of that process is the removal of packages that are not for distribution due to various laws. If this is being performed on a single machine, nfsmount directories in the chroot so that you can still copy the files around. The rsync options below assume the packages and report are being copied around on the local machine.
base_url=http://something/you_should_change_here
master_mode=no
pkg_rsync_args="-av --delete-excluded"
pkg_rsync_target="/archive/packages/DragonFly-2.0/pkgsrc-current"
report_rsync_args="-avz --delete-excluded"
report_rsync_target="/archive/packages/DragonFly-2.0/pbulk_report"
report_recipients="you@your.email"
make=/usr/pkg/bin/bmake
# optional
keep_wrkdir=no
keep_prefix=no
If the system you are building on is a slightly different version than the target for your packages, pkg_add will complain about the difference in uname. To fix this, change the UNAME_r and UNAME_v environment variables to the desired values before building.
(before)
# uname -v
DragonFly 2.1.0-DEVELOPMENT #0: Wed Sep 24 04:26:56 PDT 2008 root@:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/PKGBOX
# uname -r
2.1.0-DEVELOPMENT
# setenv UNAME_v 'DragonFly 2.0.1-RELEASE #0: Wed Sep 24 04:26:56 PDT 2008 root@:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/PKGBOX'
# setenv UNAME_r 2.0.1-RELEASE
(after)
# uname -v
DragonFly 2.0.1-RELEASE #0: Wed Sep 24 04:26:56 PDT 2008 root@:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/PKGBOX
# uname -r
2.0.1-RELEASE
Kick off the bulk build. It takes a LONG time, so it's worth doing this in a screen session. Unless you install screen in the same way as pbulk, it won't be available in the chroot, so you may need to get out of the chroot, enter a screen session, and re-enter the chroot before this step.
/usr/pkg_bulk/bin/bulkbuild
The line for setting up a rsync server for the mirrors: (do this outside the chroot)
rsync --daemon --bwlimit#200 --config/usr/pkg/etc/rsync/rsyncd.conf
If the build stops or pauses or whatever, this line will restart it, for versions 0.28 and older.
/usr/pkg_bulk/libexec/pbulk/build
Version 0.29 and later restart the build with this:
/usr/pkg_bulk/bin/bulkbuild-restart
