All, We are pleased to announce the alpha release of Toaster, a web based graphical build interface.
Thanks for everyone's hard work. -b --------------------------------------------------------- Name: Toaster Type: Yocto Project feature alpha release Version: 10.0.0 "Dora" + "Toaster" Release Date: 6 Nov 2013 Repo: git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky.git Branch: dora-toaster Hash: e5cf3e598e1e36b87a6cb07829f8a5013d78f534 Tag: toaster-dora-10.0.0 $ git clone -b dora-toaster git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky.git . Download Link: http://downloads.yoctoproject.org/releases/yocto/yocto-1.5/toaster-poky-dora-10.0.0.tar.bz2 md5sum: 0e2ddd01bbd428f09388e713c6a200a7 Release Notes: * Summary * API documentation and availability * Requirements * QA and Known Issues * Operation * Summary This is a technology preview for Toaster, a web interface allowing recording and inspecting the build process and artifacts from a Yocto project build. The code should be treated as being an "alpha" release. The system runs Bitbake in server-mode, a feature that was merged in the 1.5 Dora release. The server mode accepting "observing" clients that can listen for Bitbake events has also been developed for 1.5 A new Bitbake UI module has been developed, named "toasterui"; this UI listens for build events, retrieves information from the events, and records the information in the database. A web interface developed in Python/Django exposes the recorded information in a basic HTML interface, named Simple UI; and also exposes the information via a REST API for third party use. The scope of the Simple UI is to allow visual data testing to verify the quality of the backend. The Simple UI isn't an example of the final UI, nor does it show the analysis capabilities projected for Toaster. The final UI is still in development. * API documentation and availability The Toaster web interface exposes a set of REST APIs allowing third party to retrieve and process recorded data in 3rd party applications. The documentation for the REST API is maintained on wiki: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/REST_API_Contracts * Requirements This release adds a dependency on Django version 1.4.5 * QA and Known issues. Toaster uses partially automated testing to measure the completness and quality of data recorded. For this release, the data completness table is listed below, listing missing information. table_name procentage of empty fields(null or 0) ------------------------------------------------------------------ orm_build 15.3846153846% orm_target 33.3333333333% orm_task 39.275942149% orm_task_dependency 0.0% orm_build_package 1.94484369386% orm_build_package_dependency 10.2641858553% orm_target_package 17.9319371728% orm_target_package_dependency 23.8863863864% orm_build_file 0.459716208405% orm_target_file 100% orm_recipe 4.01146131805% orm_recipe_dependency 21.0964912281% orm_layer 0.0% orm_layer_version 0.0% orm_variable 43.2573680603% orm_logmessage 0.0% No medium+ or critical bugs for this release. Known issue with data collected for build_package, build_package_dependency and build_file tables, this is tracked via https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5269 Our tests are run on a clean build, and therefore do not pick up this problem. For unclean build or a failed build, the data collection and accuracy may downgrade. There are bugs related to completness or quality of data, which are being tracked in https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/. Look for Product: Web - Hob, Component: web-hob. Web-Hob and variants is the former codename for Toaster. * Operation Please see the wiki on how to start the system. https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Toaster#To_get_it_up_and_running: -- Elizabeth Flanagan Yocto Project Build and Release _______________________________________________ yocto mailing list yocto@yoctoproject.org https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/yocto
