f2r 2.6.3

Produces RPMs for FLP packages out of aliBuild ouput

f2r

Command line tool to create RPMs out of aliBuild output

Prerequisites

• aliBuild
• environment Modules 4.3 or higher, RPM is available from this S3 location
• Optional: To enable S3 support you need to create a config file under ~/.s3cfg, see CERN IT instructions

Installation

python3 -m pip install f2r

OR

You can use following Ansible role from system-configration that handles also "Prerequisites".

Quickstart

Build packages using aliBuild, eg:

aliBuild build O2Suite --defaults o2-dataflow --always-prefer-system

Then, run alienv as indicated by aliBuild in order to create modulefiles:

alienv enter O2Suite/latest-o2-dataflow

And create RPMs providing same package and version as to alienv:

f2r generate --package O2Suite --version latest-o2-dataflow

Validate created RPMs (this required sudo):

f2r validate

Create YUM repo:

f2r repo

and sync it to S3:

f2r sync
