.. _scm_support:
Exporting files from SCM
========================
Multiple places in Pungi can use files from external storage. The configuration
is similar independently of the backend that is used, although some features
may be different.
The so-called ``scm_dict`` is always put into configuration as a dictionary,
which can contain following keys.
* ``scm`` -- indicates which SCM system is used. This is always required.
Allowed values are:
* ``file`` -- copies files from local filesystem
* ``git`` -- copies files from a Git repository
* ``cvs`` -- copies files from a CVS repository
* ``rpm`` -- copies files from a package in the compose
* ``koji`` -- downloads archives from a given build in Koji build system
* ``repo``
* for Git and CVS backends this should be URL to the repository
* for RPM backend this should be a shell style glob matching package names
(or a list of such globs)
* for file backend this should be empty
* for Koji backend this should be an NVR or package name
* ``branch``
* branch name for Git and CVS backends, with ``master`` and ``HEAD`` as defaults
* Koji tag for koji backend if only package name is given
* otherwise should not be specified
* ``file`` -- a list of files that should be exported.
* ``dir`` -- a directory that should be exported. All its contents will be
exported. This option is mutually exclusive with ``file``.
* ``command`` -- defines a shell command to run after Git clone to generate the
needed file (for example to run ``make``). Only supported in Git backend.
Koji examples
-------------
There are two different ways how to configure the Koji backend. ::
{
# Download all *.tar files from build my-image-1.0-1.
"scm": "koji",
"repo": "my-image-1.0-1",
"file": "*.tar",
}
{
# Find latest build of my-image in tag my-tag and take files from
# there.
"scm": "koji",
"repo": "my-image",
"branch": "my-tag",
"file": "*.tar",
}
Using both tag name and exact NVR will result in error: the NVR would be
interpreted as a package name, and would not match anything.
``file`` vs. ``dir``
--------------------
Exactly one of these two options has to be specified. Documentation for each
configuration option should specify whether it expects a file or a directory.
For ``extra_files`` phase either key is valid and should be chosen depending on
what the actual use case.
Caveats
-------
The ``rpm`` backend can only be used in phases that would extract the files
after ``pkgset`` phase finished. You can't get comps file from a package.
Depending on Git repository URL configuration Pungi can only export the
requested content using ``git archive``. When a command should run this is not
possible and a clone is always needed.
When using ``koji`` backend, it is required to provide configuration for Koji
profile to be used (``koji_profile``). It is not possible to contact multiple
different Koji instances.
