Craft Parts

Craft-parts provides a mechanism to obtain data from different sources, process it in various ways, and prepare a filesystem subtree suitable for deployment. The components used in its project specification are called parts, which can be independently downloaded, built and installed, and also depend on each other in order to assemble the subtree containing the final artifacts.

Development Environment

In order to develop any apt related items, the python-apt package is needed. The apt extra will require this package in general.

Ubuntu 22.04 is assumed in the rest of this setup

Development packages, such as those to build the Apt Python package are required:

sudo apt install libapt-pkg-dev intltool fuse-overlayfs python3.10-venv python3-dev gcc g++ make

The following are required to run integration tests (it is a default target for make tests):

sudo snap install chisel --candidate
sudo apt install ninja-build cmake scons qt5-qmake p7zip rpm \
                 autoconf automake autopoint gcc git gperf help2man libtool texinfo \
                 pkg-config

Create virtual environment to develop in and activate it:

python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate

Install the required Python packages

pip install -e .[dev,docs]
pip install https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+sourcefiles/python-apt/2.4.0ubuntu1/python-apt_2.4.0ubuntu1.tar.xz
