tl;dr version: see https://android-build.linaro.org/mockup/index, click
around. Don't expect to be able to do much unless you're in
~linaro-android-builders
Hi all,
The frontend to the build service that I've been working on for the last
couple of weeks is -- to my understanding <wink> -- now feature
complete. You can see it at:
https://android-build.linaro.org/mockup/index
It works better in chrome than firefox currently, although I hope to be
through the worst of that soon.
You can log in using your Launchpad ID, but access to the interesting
functionality (being able to trigger, edit and set up builds) is
restricted to members of the ~linaro-android-builders team (I've made
Loic, Alexander and Patryk admins of this team as well as myself).
There is another team, ~linaro-android-official-builders, whose members
can make "official" builds.
I've tried pretty hard to make things self explanatory so I don't want
to explain too much here. One thing that probably needs explaining is
that a "configuration" is a snippet of shell that sets various
environment variables that are interpreted by the build scripts, such as
MANIFEST_REPO, MANIFEST_BRANCH and the various TARGET_* variables
understood by the android build tools.
If there's something missing from this or some aspect that seems really
badly designed, *please* tell me! Otherwise I'll assume you all love
it. I hear a rumour that Alexander wants simpler browsing of build
artefacts. I also know it's not especially pretty and the error
handling & reporting is a bit inconsistent.
If you're curious as to how it works, the web interface is a frontend to
jenkins, which is serving at https://android-build.linaro.org/jenkins.
Each configuration corresponds to a job in jenkins, with the
configuration data stored as the default value for a parameter. There's
a lot of javascript (using YUI 3) going on, and in particular most pages
get the data they display by making ajax requests directly to jenkins'
remote access API. The rest of it is a Django web application, which
handles generating the html (though this are only very very lightly
templated) and handling the 'write' operations that need server side
access control.
The code is in lp:~mwhudson/linaro-android/frontend on Launchpad and is
pretty messy, although still fairly small (around 1500 lines of code).
I plan to spend some time over the next week making the code much more
maintainable, but I don't have any other plans for this code myself.
Now get criticizing!
Cheers,
mwh
