OpenRepos.net Web Client

openrepos-webclient is a Python package to interface the OpenRepos.net website in an automated way.

Installation

To install, run from the repository root:

python3 -m pip install --user .

or install it from PyPi:

python3 -m pip install --user openrepos

(Run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y install python3-pip && pip3 install --user -U pip if it complains about pip not being found)

You will also need to install at least one selenium-compatible browser with webdriver, for example Firefox together with geckodriver.

If you want to run openrepos headlessly, you will also need Xvfb.

What can openrepos do?

OpenRepos Credentials

Define your OpenRepos.net login credentials as environment variables. You can either run this in each terminal session once before running the openrepos command:

export OPENREPOS_USERNAME=myuser OPENREPOS_PASSWORD=mypass

... or you can put the above in a file (say openrepos-credentials.sh) and then source this file, which is safer as you don't specify any credentials on the command-line:

source openrepos-credentials.sh

Executing

If running just openrepos errors out with something like command not found, then just run python3 -m openrepos instead.

Create a new app

This command creates a new SailfishOS app TestApp in the Libraries category.

openrepos -i new-app -n TestApp -p SailfishOS -c Libraries

Upload RPMs to an app

This command uploads all RPMs in the current directory to an app on OpenRepos called TestApp:

openrepos upload-rpm -n TestApp *.rpm

If you want to create the app if it doesn't exist yet, you have to provide the same metadata as above for new-app:

openrepos upload-rpm -n TestApp -p SailfishOS -c Libraries *.rpm

Delete an App

This delete a TestApp:

openrepos delete-app -n TestApp

Using this to automate uploading RPMs to OpenRepos in GitLab CI

This package was designed to automate RPM upload to OpenRepos.net. To do that in GitLab CI, you can include the file openrepos-upload-rpm.gitlab-ci.yml from this repository in your CI config. The file contains an example of how to do that.

Troubleshooting

If you experience problems and want to debug them, you can run openrepos interactively (--interacitve) and verbosely (-vvv):

openrepos --interactive -vvv upload-rpm ...

This will ask you before every step and tell you what's going on.

To run without opening the browser window (like in CI), run it with --xvfb:

openrepos --xvfb --interactive -vvv upload-rpm ...

Documentation of the openrepos package can be found here on GitLab.

Also, the command-line help page openrepos -h is your friend.
