LSST Distribution Server Account
For a guide to using lsstsw, see:
http://developer.lsst.io/en/latest/build-ci/lsstsw.html
Note: this directory is git managed.
Structure
| path | description |
|---|---|
| miniconda | 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).
Initialization
Source bin/setup.sh to add anaconda, EUPS, git, etc. onto the path, and to setup lsst_build tools (typically source it from ~/.bashrc).
Release workflow
Typical release workflow:
- run
rebuild, run acceptance checks until satisfied - git-tag the packages using mass-tag with the release tag
- rerun
rebuildwith the tags - run
publish current
