Can't test Couchbase Sync Gateway in Travis without sudo #4231

Closed nolanlawson closed 9 years ago

nolanlawson commented 9 years ago

We'll soon be using the container-based Travis builds: https://github.com/pouchdb/pouchdb/issues/4193. Unfortunately the current build process for CSG involves wgetting a deb file and sudo dkpg to install it, and containers don't let you sudo.

Travis seems to only support pre-installing packages from the main registries (see this), which is how we're able to build CouchDB 2.x from source. @jchris any chance we'll be able to sudo apt-get install couchbase-sync-gateway sometime soon? Or somehow run it without needing sudo?

@nolanlawson I just experimented a bit and it seems the installation process described in that .deb is mostly extracting it (as default for any deb) and a couple of non-essential things (adding an init script, creating a specific user for the program). So, the following works for me locally (no sudo necessary):

marten@procyon:~$   curl -o csg.deb http://packages.couchbase.com/releases/couchbase-sync-gateway/1.0.3/couchbase-sync-gateway-community_1.0.3_x86_64.deb

Also, unless there's a process on the way already, getting into Ubuntu/Debian repo's takes some time. Even if you get your package accepted directly, it won't be available until Travis upgrades the distro. And considering they're using LTS's (and very old ones at that), that's probably not a feasible option.
