Nightly Builds¶

sysmocom has setup nightly Debian source package builds for Osmocom GSM related software. Starting from March 18, 2016, there are daily builds for Debian7.0 (i586, amd64) and Debian8.0 (amd64). The Osmocom jenkins will build source packages once a day and upload them to the Open(SUSE) Build Service (OBS). See https://jenkins.osmocom.org/jenkins/job/Osmocom_nightly_packages/ for corresponding build job.

The nice people of SuSE have created the "network:osmocom" project for us and we have created the "network:osmocom:nightly" sub-project. The Jenkins will upload source packages for:

• libosmocore
• libosmo-abis
• libosmo-netif
• libosmo-sccp
• libsmpp34
• openbsc
• openggsn
• osmo-pcap
• osmo-stp (cellmgr-ng)
• osmo-bts
• osmo-trx
• osmo-pcu
• osmo-sip-connector

The OBS page is at https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/network:osmocom:nightly

It's possible to reproduce the nightly builds locally using

osc co
osc build

To test local changes with nightly infrastructure one can create local packages the same way jenkins job above does:

gbp buildpackage -S -uc -us --git-ignore-new --git-export-dir=/tmp

and than repeat build steps outlined above for local build.

The Debian 7.0 repository is at http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/network:/osmocom:/nightly/Debian_7.0

The Debian 8.0 repository is at http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/network:/osmocom:/nightly/Debian_8.0/

Adding the repository to your system Debian 7.0

sudo su
wget http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/network:/osmocom:/nightly/Debian_7.0/Release.key 
sha256sum Release.key
=> 487d3c309facae16e83b3863bc042033fd02c41eb7183ced196d83225abb5729
apt-key add Release.key
echo "deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/network:/osmocom:/nightly/Debian_7.0/ ./" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/osmocom-nightly.list 
apt-get update
exit

Adding the repository to your system Debian 8.0

sudo su
wget http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/network:/osmocom:/nightly/Debian_8.0/Release.key 
sha256sum Release.key
=> 487d3c309facae16e83b3863bc042033fd02c41eb7183ced196d83225abb5729
apt-key add Release.key
echo "deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/network:/osmocom:/nightly/Debian_8.0/ ./" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/osmocom-nightly.list
apt-get update
exit

E-Mail Notifications of build failures¶

There seems to be no easy way in OBS to register an e-mail address (such as a mailing list) that gets notified in case of build errors. What we ended up doing is to

• register an OBS user account "openbsc-list" with e-mail address of the openbsc mailing list
• include that account with a 'reader' role in the OBS "openbsc:nightly" project
• set the OBS user notification preferences of that "openbsc-list" user to include "Package has failed to build" for "reader role.
