How we use the builds
The build of the SVN trunk is used to feed our nightly tests and our stable test infrastructure.
Its main goal is to produce feedback that is useful for the developers and maintainers of the various components. If you are a developer then you should consider the SVN trunk build to verify your work in the shortest possible time.
The build of the release candidate is supposed to be used to feed testbeds like our internal one. If you are a tester, then you may be interested in testing the features before they get released to the public, by using this repository.
Repositories
The builds populate repositories that are publicly available. One can configure a machine to always use the package repository that comes from the last successful build of the SVN trunk or of the candidate release version.
- Download the appropriate repository file here
- Or configure it by hand using something like (example for EL6, replace with EL5):
[lcgdm-cbuilds-relcand-el6]
name=LCGDM Continuous Build Repository - Candidate release
baseurl=http://grid-deployment.web.cern.ch/grid-deployment/dms/lcgdm/repos/release-candidate/el6/$basearch
gpgcheck=0
enabled=1
protect=0 - Add the WLCG repo:
[wlcg]
name=WLCG Repository
baseurl=http://linuxsoft.cern.ch/wlcg/sl6/$basearch
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0
protect=0
