Building the Kit Tarfile
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
After the Kit package repositories are built, run the ``buildtar`` subcommand in the Kit directory to build the final kit tarfile. ::
|
|
|
|
buildkit buildtar
|
|
|
|
The tar file will be built in the kit directory location. A complete kit will be named: ::
|
|
|
|
ex: kitname-1.0.0-x86_64.tar.bz2
|
|
|
|
A partial kit will have "NEED_PRODUCT_PKGS" string in its name: ::
|
|
|
|
ex: kitname-1.0.0-x86_64.NEED_PRODUCT_PKGS.tar.bz2
|
|
|
|
|
|
Using Partial Kits with newer Software Versions
|
|
````````````````````````````````````````````````
|
|
If the product packages are for a newer version or release than what specified in the partial kit tar file name, user may still be able to build a complete kit with the packages, assuming that the partial kit is compatible with those packages.
|
|
|
|
Note: Basically, the latest partial kit available online will work until there is a newer version available.
|
|
|
|
To build a complete kit with the new software, user can provide the new version and/or release of the software on the buildkit command line. ::
|
|
|
|
buildkit addpkgs <kitname.NEED_PRODUCT_PKGS.tar.bz2> --pkgdir <product package directories> \
|
|
--kitversion <new version> --kitrelease <new release>
|
|
|
|
For example, if the partial kit was created for a product version of 1.3.0.2 but wish to complete a new kit for product version 1.3.0.4 then can add "-k 1.3.0.4" to the buildkit command line.

|
|
#. copy the partial kit to a working directory
|
|
#. copy the product software packages to a convenient location or locations
|
