9 In this tutorial, we'll create a vessel to demonstrate the basic
10 operation of Shipwright.
11
13 Introduction
14 Shipwright ships with command line tool shipwright which allows you to
15 manage shipyard: create, import sources, "update", and so on.
16
17 Let's start from a new shipyard.
18
19 Create a new shipyard
20
21 shipyard - the place where all source code lives. Shipwright supports
22 several backends: SVK, SVN, Git and plain file system. We'll use FS in
23 this tutorial.
24
25 Let's create a new shipyard:
26
27 $ shipwright create -r fs:/tmp/foo
28
29 To avoid typing -r fs:/tmp/foo all the time you can use
30 "SHIPWRIGHT_SHIPYARD" environment variable.
31
32 $ export SHIPWRIGHT_SHIPYARD="fs:/tmp/foo"
33
34 From now on we don't need the "-r ..." for the session.
35
36 Import sources
37
38 Our shipyard is worthless if it doesn't contain any source, let's
39 import some.
40
41 Shipwright supports various types of sources. Here are some examples:
42
43 compressed file
44 file:/tmp/foo.tar.gz
45 file:/home/ross/dinosaur-0.01.tar.bz2
46
47 plain directory
48 dir:/tmp/foo
49 directory:/home/ross/dinosaur-0.01
50
51 HTTP
52 http://apache.mirror.phpchina.com/httpd/httpd-2.2.9.tar.gz
53 http://ftp.cuhk.edu.hk/pub/packages/perl/CPAN/authors/id/C/CL/CLKAO/SVK-v2.0.2.tar.gz
54
55 FTP
56 ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/gnupg/gnupg-1.4.9.tar.bz2
57 ftp://ftp.cuhk.edu.hk/pub/packages/perl/CPAN/authors/id/C/CL/CLKAO/SVK-v2.0.2.tar.gz
58
59 SVK
60 svk:/test/foo
61
62 SVN
63 svn:file:///tmp/repo/foo
64 svn:http://svn.example.com/foo
65
66 Git
67 git:file:///tmp/foo.git
68
69 CPAN
70 cpan:Jifty
71 cpan:Module::Install
72
73 shipyard
74 shipyard:fs:/tmp/shipyard/foo
75 shipyard:fs:/tmp/shipyard/bar
76
77 fs:/tmp/shipyard is another shipyard, 'foo' or 'bar' is the source
78 name we want to import.
79
80 We'll import apache 2.2.9, perl 5.10, mod_perl 2.0, libxml and
81 XML::LibXML in this tutorial one by one.
82
83 $ shipwright import http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/httpd-2.2.9.tar.gz --name apache
84 $ shipwright import http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/R/RG/RGARCIA/perl-5.10.0.tar.gz
85 $ shipwright import http://perl.apache.org/dist/mod_perl-2.0-current.tar.gz --name mod_perl --no-follow
86 ( use --no-follow is because run Makefile.PL will hung if we don't have
87 apache installed )
88 $ shipwright import ftp://xmlsoft.org/libxml2/libxml2-2.6.32.tar.gz --name libxml
89 $ shipwright import cpan:XML::LibXML
90
91 Run shipwright help import to see more options.
92
93 As a side note, if we were importing from a source that doesn't use a
94 build mechanism that Shipwright can automatically create a set of build
95 instructions for (currently autoconf, ExtUtils::MakeMaker,
96 Module::Install, and Module::Build), we would now need to edit
97 scripts/SOURCE_NAME/build to tell Shipwright how to build that source.
98
99 For our tutorial, e.g. perl 5.10, Shipwright doesn't know about the
100 peculiarities of how to build perl, so we need to edit the build file:
101
102 configure: ./Configure -des -Dprefix=%%INSTALL_BASE%%
103 test: %%MAKE%% test
104 install: %%MAKE%% install
105
106 For more information on build scripts, see
107 Shipwright::Manual::CustomizeBuild.
108
109 update
110
111 For dists with CPAN, SVK, SVN, Git and shipyard types, we can simply
112 use the update command to update:
113
114 $ shipwright update cpan-XML-LibXML
115 (yeah, that's right, cpan:XML::LibXML will be named cpan-XML-LibXML)
116
117 We can also specify the version we want to update to with --version
118 argument:
119
120 $ shipwright update cpan-XML-LibXML --version 1.60
121
122 For other types, Shipwright can't guess the latest version, so we have
123 to tell Shipwright where it is using the relocate command.
124
125 e.g. apache 2.2.10 is released one day, with download link
126 <http://apache.mirror.phpchina.com/httpd/httpd-2.2.10.tar.gz>, we need
127 to set the source URL first before updating.
128
129 $ shipwright relocate apache http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/httpd-2.2.10.tar.gz
130 $ shipwright update apache
131
132 tweak manually
133
134 You may find that cpan-XML-LibXML needs libxml as a dependency, but in
135 /scripts/cpan-XML-LibXML/require.yml there's no such entry, because
136 require.yml is created automatically, filled with perl module dists, no
137 extra dependences will be set.
138
139 So we need to do it manually, e.g. use the following command to do so:
140
141 $ shipwright update cpan-XML-LibXML --add-deps libxml
142
143 build
144
145 We need to checkout the repository into some directory first, then
146 chdir there, and run: (for FS backend, there's no need to checkout,
147 just chdir to /tmp/foo ),
148
149 $ ./bin/shipwright-builder --install-base /tmp/vessel
150
151 Run ./bin/shipwright-builder --help to see more options and
152 ./bin/shipwright-builder --advanced-help to see even more options.
153
154 fiddle the vessel
155
156 We can use bin/shipwright-filter to fiddle the vessel, e.g. removing
157 pods. Run ./bin/shipwright-filter --help to see more options
158
159 ship our vessel
160
161 We call the built source the vessel.
162
163 To ship our vessel, create an archive of the built files using an
164 archive program such as tar, e.g. by running tar czvf vessel.tar.gz
165 /tmp/vessel.
166
167 Users can use our vessel by extracting the archive to a directory and
168 then adding the following command to their shell's startup script (e.g.
169 for bash users, edit /home/user/.bashrc on most systems): source
170 /base/path/tools/etc/shipwright-source-bash (for bash users). A source
171 script is also provided for the tcsh shell.
172
173 Here is a sourcing example:
174
175 source /home/user/myapp/tools/shipwright-source-bash /home/user/myapp
176
177 This example assumes the myapp vessel was extracted to
178 /home/user/myapp.
179
180 After sourcing this script, users will be able to run binaries and load
181 perl modules from our vessel as with normal installed programs, though
182 they will need to start a new shell or re-run their startup script.
183
184 ship shipyard
185
186 If you want to ship a shipyard instead of the vessel, you can just tar
187 your shipyard( i.e. "/tmp/foo" ) and ship it, though Shipwright
188 supplies a convenient way too:
189
190 Let's chdir to our shipyard first, then run: $ ./bin/shipwright-utility
191 --generate-tar-file /tmp/shipyard.pl
192
193 The shipyard.pl is a shipyard perl script working like "shipwright-
194 builder" but it's self contained, so you can build a vessel with
195 shipyard.pl like this:
196
197 $ perl /tmp/shipyard.pl --install-base /tmp/vessel
