datalad deb-configure-builder
Synopsis
datalad deb-configure-builder [-h] [-d DATASET] [-f] [--template PATH] [--version] [property=value [property=value ...]]
Description
Configure a package build environment
A builder is a (containerized) build environment used to build binary Debian packages from Debian source packages. This command is typically run on the builder dataset in a distribution dataset and configures a builder recipe based on a template and user-specified values for the template's placeholders. The resulting recipe will be placed in the 'recipes/' directory of the builder dataset.
The following directory tree illustrates this. The configured builder takes the form of a Singularity recipe here.
bullseye <- distribution dataset├── builder <- builder subdataset│ ├── envs│ │ └── README.md│ └── recipes│ ├── README.md│ └── singularity-any <- builder configuration
Currently supported templates are
Template 'default'
This is a Singularity recipe with the following configuration items:
dockerbase(required): name of a Docker base image for the container, i.e. 'debian:bullseye''debian_archive_sections(optional): which sections of the Debian package archive to enable for APT in the build environment. To enable all sections set to 'main contrib non-free'. Default: 'main'
Examples
Configure the default Singularity recipe in the builder subdataset, executed from a distribution superdataset:
% datalad deb-configure-builder -d builder dockerbase=debian:bullseye
Options
property=value
Values to replace placeholders in the specified template.
-h, --help, --help-np
show this help message. --help-np forcefully disables the use of a pager for displaying the help message
-d DATASET, --dataset DATASET
Specify a builder dataset in which an environment will be defined. Constraints: Value must be a Dataset or a valid identifier of a Dataset (e.g. a path) or value must be NONE
-f, --force
enforce creation of a package dataset in a non-empty directory.
--template PATH
Builder recipe template. This is a text file for placeholders in Python string formating syntax. Constraints: value must be a string or value must be NONE [Default: 'default']
--version
show the module and its version which provides the command
