Note: this directory is git managed.
| path | description |
|---|---|
| anaconda | Anaconda Python distribution |
| bin | software distribution binaries (rebuild, publish) |
| build | directory where builds take place |
| distserver | EUPS distribution server directory |
| etc | configuration files live here |
| eups | local installation of EUPS |
| lfs | local installation of various packages, e.g. git (lfs stands for "Linux from Scratch") |
| lsst_build | lsst_build software tools directory (separately git managed) |
| README | the file you're reading |
| stack | the EUPS software stack into which successfully built packages are installed |
| var | contains lock files and log files |
| versiondb | version database used by lsst_build to assing +N versions (separately git managed) |
The most important directories to know about are etc (config files), stack (the built software directory), and distserver (the distribution server directory).
Source bin/setup.sh to add anaconda, EUPS, git, etc. onto the path, and to setup lsst_build tools (typically source it from ~/.bashrc).
Typical release workflow:
- run 'rebuild', run acceptance checks until satisfied
- git-tag the packages using mass-tag with the release tag
- rerun 'rebuild' with the tags
- run 'publish current'
