python-django-repomgmt

This Django app implements everything you need to create APT repositories, buildd infrastructure as well as automatic package building.

It expects access to an OpenStack Compute cloud to perform builds and uses reprepro on the backend to manage the APT repositories, process incoming, etc.

Setting it up should be fairly simple.

You need Django, django-tastypie, django-celery, sbuild and devscripts installed.

These are the configuration options you need to add to your settings.py:

APT_REPO_BASE_URL

The base URL by which your repositories will be reachable.

E.g. if set to http://apt.example.com/, it's assumed that
your web server is configured to expose e.g. the "cisco" repository
under http://apt.example.com/cisco

POST_MK_SBUILD_CUSTOMISATION

An argv to be executed in the schroot after mk-sbuild is done.

E.g. to avoid using a proxy for a apt.example.com, you can do
something like:

POST_MK_SBUILD_CUSTOMISATION = ['bash', '-c', 'echo \'Acquire::HTTP::Proxy::apt.example.com "DIRECT";\' > /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99noproxy']

BASE_URL

The base URL of the repomgmt app. This is used to construct URLs
where build nodes can fetch their puppet manifest.

BASE_TARBALL_URL

A URL where the generated tarballs can be found. The tarballs generally
land in /var/lib/schroot/tarballs, so you should configure a web server to
serve that directory at this URL.

BASE_REPO_DIR

The base directory where the repositories should be kept.
Each repository will be represented by a subdirectory here.

BASE_PUBLIC_REPO_DIR

A directory holding the public parts of the repo.

BASE_INCOMING_DIR

The base dir used for incoming dirs.

FTP_IP

IP where builders can send back built packages.

FTP_BASE_PATH

Base path where packages can be put.

TESTING

If set to True, repomgmt will be in testing mode and won't write anything
to disk.

It is also expected that django-celery is already configured. This should be as simple as adding something like this near the end of your settings.py:

INSTALLED_APPS += ("djcelery", )
import djcelery
djcelery.setup_loader()

BROKER_URL = 'amqp://guest:guest@localhost:5672/'

You also need to add the django.contrib.humanize app to INSTALLED_APPS.

= Quickly establishing a development environment =

A simple Puppet module is included, mostly intended for development purposes. Fire up a fresh, clean Ubuntu VM and log in.
