MINIX Provisioning

Provisioning scripts for setting up a dev environment for CS170: Operating Systems.

Quickstart

Because MINIX does not come with curl/wget/git by default, several packages must be installed in order to get these scripts onto the system.

Run the following to set up the environment:

pkgin -y in scmgit-base
git clone https://github.com/abstractOwl/minix-provisioning
cd minix-provisioning
sh setup.sh
reboot

Workflow

Work in a git repository mimicking the MINIX src file structure (i.e. /usr/src/servers/sched => <repo_dir>/src/servers/sched, where repo_dir is the repository base directory. Only commit modified files to the repo. On MINIX, clone your repository in $DEV, cd to it, and run:

gp
replacesrc <repo>
rr

to rebuild with the new files and reboot.

Features

This environment contains several enhancements to make MINIX development easier.

Automated Environment Setup

git clone your project repository to ~/dev/ to make use of the replacesrc and resetsrc aliases.

Automated Package Installation

Installs packages from config/packages.txt. Fork of this repository to create your own package list.

Aliases

Get to everything faster with aliases. All aliases are contained in config/.aliases.d/.

resetsrc Resets /usr/src to /usr/minix_src_clean
replacesrc Replaces /usr/src with ~/dev/$1/src, i.e. replacesrc test replaces /usr/src with $DEV/test/src
rr Attempts to make hdboot, reboots if successful
rw Attempts to rebuild world, reboots if successful
