Komodo

Software Innovation Bergen Software Distribution

Komodo is a software distribution system.

The purpose of Komodo is to be able to automatically, reproducibly, testably create a software distribution containing all systems Software Innovation Bergen is responsible for. Automatic deploy of new releases as well as nightly deploy and the option of automatically moving the testing stage will be supported.

Overall goal

We have a repository of packages. Each package contains

• a list of versions
• dependencies
• source
• build information
• maintainer information

The repository.yml may look like this:

boost:
  version: 1.60
  rpm: path
opm-parser:
  version: 1.2.0
  depends:
    - ecl
    - boost
  git: git@github.com:opm/opm-parser
ecl:
  version: 2.3
  git: git@github.com:statoil/libecl

Then a release, e.g. unstable is defined as another YAML file, e.g. unstable.yml, containing

boost: 1.60
opm-parser: 1.2.0
ecl: 2.3

A full software distribution can then be built and deployed to a specified path, e.g. /my/software/center/unstable.

To use, source /my/software/center/unstable/enable.
