Configure a PPA

• Create Launchpad account (utilities/make-lp-user)
• Run the keyserver (zeca) with bin/twistd --nodaemon --logfile - -y daemons/zeca.tac
  • Probably need to first apply http://williamgrant.id.au/f/1/2009/zeca-get-key-id.diff.
• Add OpenPGP key
  • Make sure you upload your key to localhost.
  • Check email in root's mailbox, and activate key.
• Sign code of conduct.
• Create a PPA
• Ensure that the PPA is allowed to build on non-virtual builders.

Create a less ancient series

• Head over to https://launchpad.dev/ubuntu/+addseries, and create a recent series (eg. jaunty). Inherit from one of the other Ubuntu series.
• Copy packages and DASs with scripts/ftpmaster-tools/initialise-from-parent.py jaunty

Configure a buildd

• cd lib/canonical/buildd
• dpkg-buildpackage -b
• sudo dpkg -i ../launchpad-buildd_47_all.deb
• sudo adduser buildd
• Edit lib/canonical/buildd/example.chroot:
  • Replace distroseries with something that still exists.
  • Replace debootstraparchive and archiveroot with an archive mirror
• sudo -H -u buildd buildd-slave-chroot-tool --generate example.chroot
• scripts/ftpmaster-tools/manage-chroot.py -s jaunty -a i386 add -f chroot-ubuntu-jaunty-i386.tar.bz2
• Mark Bob the Builder as active (https://launchpad.dev/builders/bob/+admin)

Configure build pieces

• Set builddmaster.uploader in configs/development/launchpad-lazr.conf to something sane (scripts/process-upload.py -Mvv --context buildd)
• Set archivepublisher.base_url = http://some.ubuntu.mirror/ # Must omit the trailing 'ubuntu', this time.

Upload a source

• Run scripts/process-upload.py /var/tmp/poppy (creates hierarchy)
• Run poppy
  • bin/py daemons/poppy-upload.py /var/tmp/poppy/incoming 2121
• Upload package to localhost:2121.
• scripts/process-upload.py /var/tmp/poppy # Accept the source upload.
• scripts/publish-distro.py --ppa # Publish the source.
  • Private archive builds will not be dispatched until their source is published.

Build it

• Start buildd-manager:
  • bin/twistd --nodaemon --logfile - -y daemons/buildd-manager.tac
• Wait for build to finish.
• scripts/process-accepted.py --ppa ubuntu # Create publishings for the binaries.
• scripts/publish-distro.py --ppa # Publish the binaries.
