Creating Packages

Creating Repositories

The procedure for creating a new repository is:

1. Create an empty repository on your sever, e.g., for SVN that would be something like:

 % mkdir /home/<user>/svn
 % svnadmin create /home/<user>/svn/<reponame>

1. Run the following commands:

 % awb-shell create package <pkgname>
 Creating package foo...
 Do you want to run regression tests on this package [no]?: no

 % awb-shell create repository <pkgname>
 [1] cvs
 [2] svn
 Repository type: []: 2
 Repository URL []: file:///home/<user>/svn/<reponame>
 Repository browse URL []: https://<webserver>/websvn/listing.php?repname=<reponame>

 % awb-shell checkout package <pkgname>
  ...answer questions...

A .pack file is also created in your ~/.asim directory, e.g.,

    ~/.asim/repositories.d/<pkgname>.pack

This can be made available system-wide by placing it in the global awb
configuration directory:

   <prefix>/etc/asim/repositories.d/<packname>.pack

To install it as part of every awb installation, the .pack file should
be added to the awb package in the directory:

    etc/repositories.d/<packname>.pack
