Installing using an RPM file If you have an rpm file for a package you wish to install, and if you cannot find a .deb debian package in any of the Ubuntu repositories or elsewhere, you can use the alien package converter application to install the .rpm file. Alien is a program that converts between the rpm, dpkg, stampede slp, and slackware tgz file formats. If you want to use a package from another distribution than the one you have installed on your system, you can use alien to convert it to your preferred package format and install it. Despite the large version number, alien is still (and will probably always be) rather experimental software. It has been used by many people for many years, but there are still many bugs and limitations. Alien should not be used to replace important system packages, like sysvinit, shared libraries, or other things that are essential for the functioning of your system. Many of these packages are set up differently by Debian and Red Hat, and packages from the different distributions cannot be used interchangably. In general, if you can’t uninstall the package without breaking your system, don’t try to replace it with an alien version. Instructions for Installing RPM Files Using Alien Installing Alien You can install alien itself from the Ubuntu Universe repository by adding the repository to your list of sources and doing: $sudo apt-get update $sudo apt-get install alien Installing the .rpm file To install the .rpm file, you first need to convert it to a .deb file which can be installed on Ubuntu. I assume that you downloaded the package to your Desktop (~/Desktop is the directory) You can convert the .rpm to a .deb by using the following commands. $cd ~/Desktop -This will change the directory to your desktop, where you have the .rpm file. $sudo alien -k name-of-rpm-file.rpm - This will convert the .rpm to a .deb. - The “-k” will keep the version number. Otherwise alien adds a “1″ to the version number. - Tip: Use Smart Tab Completion to avoid mistyping the file names $sudo dpkg -i name-of-deb-file.deb - This will install the .deb package Try reading the alien manpage for more details on how to convert other kinds of packages and the options available .

Hydra: a Declarative Approach to Continuous Integration1
Hydra: A Declarative Approach to Continuous Integration1 Eelco Dolstra, Eelco Visser Department of Software Technology, Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science (EWI), Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands Abstract There are many tools to support continuous integration: the process of automatically and con- tinuously building a project from a version management repository. However, they do not have good support for variability in the build environment: dependencies such as compilers, libraries or testing tools must typically be installed manually on all machines on which automated builds are performed. In this paper we present Hydra, a continuous build tool based on Nix, a package manager that has a purely functional language for describing package build actions and their dependencies. This allows the build environment for projects to be produced automatically and deterministically, and so significantly reduces the effort to maintain a continuous integration en- vironment. 1. Introduction Hydra is a tool for continuous integration testing and software release that uses a purely func- tional language to describe build jobs and their dependencies. Continuous integration (Fowler and Foemmel 2006) is a simple technique to improve the quality of the software development process. An automated system continuously or periodically checks out the source code of a project, builds it, runs tests, and produces reports for the developers. Thus, various errors that might accidentally be committed into the code base are automatically caught. Such a system allows more in-depth testing than what developers could feasibly do manually: • Portability testing: The software may need to be built and tested on many different plat- forms.

ROOT Package Management: “Lazy Install” Approach
ROOT package management: “lazy install” approach Oksana Shadura ROOT Monday meeting Outline ● How we can improve artifact management (“lazy-install”) system for ROOT ● How to organise dependency management for ROOT ● Improvements to ROOT CMake build system ● Use cases for installing artifacts in the same ROOT session Goals ● Familiarize ROOT team with our planned work ● Explain key misunderstandings ● Give a technical overview of root-get ● Explain how root-get and cmake can work in synergy Non Goals We are not planning to replace CMake No change to the default build system of ROOT No duplication of functionality We are planning to “fill empty holes” for CMake General overview Manifest - why we need it? ● Easy to write ● Easy to parse, while CMakeLists.txt is impossible to parse ● Collect information from ROOT’s dependencies + from “builtin dependencies” + OS dependencies + external packages to be plugged in ROOT (to be resolved after using DAG) ● It can be easily exported back as a CMakeLists.txt ● It can have extra data elements [not only what is in CMakeLists.txt, but store extra info] ○ Dependencies description (github links, semantic versioning) ■ url: "ssh://[email protected]/Greeter.git", ■ versions: Version(1,0,0)..<Version(2,0,0) Manifest is a “dump” of status of build system (BS), where root-get is just a helper for BS Manifest - Sample Usage scenarios and benefits of manifest files: LLVM/Clang LLVM use CMake as a LLVMBuild utility that organize LLVM in a hierarchy of manifest files of components to be used by build system llvm-build, that is responsible for loading, verifying, and manipulating the project's component data.
