What is Project-Builder.org ?

Project-Builder.org is a GPL tool for simplifying the process of building packages for multiple operating systems from source. The source can come from version control or from tar files, the packages can be build on pre-installed Remote Machines (RM) over ssh, on Virtual Machines (VM) on the local host, or inside a Virtual Environment (VE aka chroot) on the local host. The configuration files for Project-Builder.org are stored in subversion and are used to control the method by which the packages are created. Further details can be found on that page and in a detailed walkthrough of using Project-Builder.org available as http://trac.project-builder.org/browser/devel/pb-doc/LabProject-Builder.org.pdf

2017-03-16 Project pb version 0.14.4 is now available

The project team is happy to announce the availability of a newest version of pb 0.14.4. Enjoy it as usual!

It's soon after the previous version, but targets some issues which were annoying for projects I'm helping with packaging. These issues were already there before, but it was time to solve them for good, epseically to help building the final version of FOSSology packages. And as I'm also packaging for other pojects as well, expect some changes on a more regular basis going forward (at least when needed of course !)

2016-02-22 Project pb version 0.13.2 is now available

The project team is happy to announce the availability of a newest version of pb 0.13.2. Enjoy it as usual!

This version was difficult to publish as I've tried to improve ssh support with ECDSA in addition to DSA and that has proved to be much more difficult than expected. However, this version is particularly useful if you use git, such as for python-redfish.

Now available at ftp://ftp.project-builder.org

As usual source packages are also available in the same directory.

Changes are :

PERL-PROJECTBUILDER CHANGES



- Improve yum and dnf invocation by just cleaning cache of metadata, avoiding to do a clean + upgrade

- Fix dependencies for Fedora 22 docker container

- improve git support by archiving HEAD if no modif in progress and removing git+ on uri when needed

- Improve git support where pbconf is upstream in the main directory of a simple project



PBMKBM CHANGES



- No change



PB CHANGES



- Fix a bug in script2v by initializing pbstep to 3 as it wasn't defined (use mode) (Bruno Cornec)

- Using -s option requires a full path name for the script to work, which is now checked (Bruno Cornec)

- Do not call pb_ssh_get when pushing packages to ftp repo (Bruno Cornec)

- Use id_* keys only when not in create mode (delivery to repo). Otherwise use pb_* keys (Bruno Cornec)

- pb now scans VM or RM to detect whether they support ECDSA for ssh connection (RHEL7 e.g. doesn't support DSA anymore by default). If yes, then use the pb_ecdsa key file. By default favour DSA anyway. But that forces also to change the cleanup of the authorized_keys file on the VM|RM to be done once the VM is launched to have the scan working (Bruno Cornec)

- Fix an issue when the VM is already launched during the ssh setup a wrong port was used (Bruno Cornec)

- Improve git support where pbconf is upstream in the main directory of a simple project (Bruno Cornec)
