Task description

Deployment preparation and execution of the GDP 11 Release images and metadata. :

• RPi3

Deliverables

This task is fully described in the GDP Release Howto document.

• Create a fresh checkout of the genivi-dev-platform repo using the release branch, `source init.sh`, tar the whole thing up as oe-source.tar.gz and put it in the staging area.
  • This can be simplified to wiping out gdp-src-build/tmp and tarring up the whole thing while excluding everything in gdp-src-build except gdp-src-build/conf bitbake genivi-dev-platform
• Copy tmp/deploy/licenses/genivi-dev-platform-*/license.manifest into the staging area, through go.cd.
• Tar up the whole tmp/deploy/source dir as sources.tar.gz and put it in the staging area, through go.cd..
• Tar up the whole tmp/deploy/licenses dir as licenses.tar.gz and put in the staging area, through go.cd..
• Copy the image manifest to the staging area.
• Copy the kernel to the staging area.
• gzip the rootfs into the staging area.
• Notify GENIVI IT where they can find all the archives to deploy (in go.cd) through a ticket, inclluding the checksums
  • Link to the ticket: https://at.projects.genivi.org/jira/browse/OSSINFR-120

oe sources tarball needs re-deployment

Changes in the process

For those interested in the go.cd template currently being used to generate the artifacts, it can be found here: http://go.genivi.org/go/admin/templates/Yocto_GDP_generic_release/stages/build/job/init_and_bitbake/tasks

For now the go server has to act as the staging area, but I believe it should be possible to directly upload to the genivi ftp server by having a mounted directory, set here: http://go.genivi.org/go/admin/templates/Yocto_GDP_generic_release/stages/build/job/init_and_bitbake/artifacts

The pipelines are also generating a checksum list of all the artifacts created by the specific pipeline execution (e.g http://go.genivi.org/go/files/Release-RaspberryPi3/2/build/1/init_and_bitbake/raspberrypi3/checksums.txt) This should add more automation to the release cycle.
