Launchpad uses Bazaar2.0, I liked git for 1 day, but github doesnt
offer open repositories, or open team projects, so it is back to the
old faithful bazaar! Launchpad.net is very cool though.
We have two projects so far
https://code.launchpad.net/cuis
https://code.launchpad.net/cuis-packages
To use - begin by making yourself a local working directory...
# mkdir Cuis2.0_trunk
# cd Cuis2.0_trunk
Runtime and One-Click template
=========================
Checkout the vm runtime - this is also a one-click image template for
you to branch from, or help improve.
# bzr branch lp:~rodents/cuis/Cuis2.0vm.app
Incremental Kernel Development
==========================
Checkout the current Cuis2.0 kernel development repositories - these
are InstallStreams for incrementally moving the kernel forwards.
# bzr branch lp:~rodents/cuis/base
# bzr branch lp:~rodents/cuis/release
# bzr branch lp:~rodents/cuis/stable
# bzr branch lp:~rodents/cuis/unstable
1) cuis/base - the starting release image to build on using
InstallStreams
2) cuis/release - the released updates (included in the release image)
This tracks Juan's official updates.
3) cuis/stable - branch & contribute back your tested updates here
In anticipation that these will get incorporated in the release.
4) unstable - branch & contribute your "being-tested" updates here
Unstable patches are not built by default.
The default search for updates is only 2 directories deep. In the
unstable repository each contributed set of updates is published in a
containing folder, and is 3 levels deep.
To apply a specific unstable update execute InstallStreams
updatesInstall: 'unstable/InstallStreams-testing'.
To apply all unstable updates execute InstallStreams updatesInstall:
'unstable'.
Optional Kernel Innovations Development
=================================
InstallStreams providing optional kernel innovations may go in their
own repositories, rather than release,stable, or unstable.
i.e. when you are ready to show the world...
# bzr push lp:~rodents/cuis/simple-namespaces
# bzr push lp:~rodents/cuis/pragmas
# bzr push lp:~rodents/cuis/nano-traits
# bzr push lp:~rodents/cuis/logging
Packages - Loadable with InstallStream
===============================
There is a separate project for sharing loadable packages.
In your working directory make a directory for non-installed packages
# mkdir packages
# cd packages
# bzr branch lp:~rodents/cuis-packages/Installer
To manually load an individual package
InstallStream packagesInstall: 'packages/Installer'
To manually install all the packages checked out into ./packages
InstallStream packagesInstall: 'packages'
Generating the build
================
Juan's release of Cuis2.0 does not appear to support the execution of
a script on start up. So in the meantime, you will have to search for
and file in that script manually.
A simple script is provided in ./stable/build.sh which copies the base
image into your working directory, and launches the image. (on mac
only for the moment)
Find and file in ./stable/build.st which is intended to initiate and
perform the build.
Next Steps
=========
It looks like we will have to release a Cuis2.0.1.image which fixes
the startupscript feature.
enjoy
