Dear FreeIPA developers and packagers,
you can find first version of the Build system refactoring design document on:
http://www.freeipa.org/page/V4/Build_system_refactoring
If you do not care about implementation details, please be so kind and quickly
scan through chapter
http://www.freeipa.org/page/V4/Build_system_refactoring#Feature_Management
I'm not an FreeIPA packager so I might miss some important thing which needs
to be configurable.
1) There should be a --with-python switch to select the version of
Python to use in our command line tools and/or during build. The default
would be "python", i.e. the default Python interpreter found in the path.
2) There is --with-pylint, --with-jslint, but no --with-po-validate.
3) I would prefer that if pylint (or jslint or python-polib) is not
installed the build would fail instead of silently skipping the lint.
Let it be a wilful decision of the packager whether to run the lint or not.
4) It is explicitly stated that I can turn off features using
--without-feature. But how do I disable building server components?
Also, I would appreciate ideas how to handle build versioning:
http://www.freeipa.org/page/V4/Build_system_refactoring#Versioning
My main questions are:
* What is triggering IPA upgrade?
* Would it be sufficient to bump release in RPM? (I mean - theoretically.
Could the code be modified to detect this?)
Here I'm trying to avoid unnecessary rebuilds caused by changes to
IPA_VENDOR_VERSION during each build.
How exactly is IPA_VENDOR_VERSION causing unnecessary rebuilds? I can
see it is written only to ipapython/version.py:
$ git grep -E '\bIPA_VENDOR_VERSION\b'
Makefile:IPA_VENDOR_VERSION=$(IPA_VERSION)$(IPA_VENDOR_VERSION_SUFFIX)
Makefile: sed -i -e "s:__VENDOR_VERSION__:$(IPA_VENDOR_VERSION):"
ipapython/version.py
