\chapter{Quick Help Guide for Developers}
|
| 15 |
\label{ch:quickhelpguide}\index{help pages for developers}\index{\texttt{scram}}
|
| 16 |
This chapter is intended to be a quick help guide for developers
|
| 17 |
already familiar with working in a \scram\ project environment. Each
|
| 18 |
of the recognised \scram\ commands is described here.
|
| 19 |
All commands provide online help too which can be accessed using
|
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
\hspace{5mm}\scram~\inbrackets{command}~\texttt{--help}
|
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
or
|
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
\hspace{5mm}\scram~\inbrackets{command}~\texttt{-h}
|
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
\ni For administrators setting up a project area for the first time,
|
| 28 |
refer to Chapter~\ref{ch:creatingprojects}.
|

\section{\scram\ version}

\cmdintro:
|
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
\hspace{5mm}\scram~\texttt{version}~[\texttt{-c}]~[\texttt{-i}]~[\textit{version}]
|
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
\ni With no \textit{version} argument given, this command will simply show
|
| 38 |
the current \scram\ version number. If a version argument is supplied,
|
| 39 |
that version will be downloaded and installed, if not already locally available.
|
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
\begin{description}
|
| 42 |
\item[\textbf{-i}]
|
| 43 |
Show \scram\ CVS commit info (the value of the CVS \texttt{Id} variable)
|
| 44 |
\item[\textbf{-c}]
|
| 45 |
Print site CVS parameters to \texttt{stdout}. These parameters are used
|
| 46 |
when downloading and installing new \scram\ versions at a site.
|

|
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
\hspace{5mm}\scram~\texttt{-arch}~\inbrackets{architecture}
|
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
\ni Print out the architecture flag for the current machine or
|
| 60 |
set the architecture to that specified.
|
| 61 |
|
| 62 |
\section{\scram\ runtime}
|
| 63 |
\index{\texttt{scram}!\texttt{runtime}}

| 73 |
\hspace{5mm}\scram~\texttt{runtime} [-csh,-sh \textit{or} -win]~\texttt{-dump}~\textit{filename}
|
| 74 |
|
| 75 |
\ni Print the runtime environment for the current development area
|
| 76 |
in \texttt{csh}, \texttt{sh} or Windows flavours.
|
| 77 |
|
| 78 |
\example{Examples}\mbox{}
|
| 79 |
|
| 80 |
\ni Set up to include the project runtime settings
|
| 81 |
in the current \texttt{tcsh} shell environment:
|
| 82 |
|
| 83 |
\hspace{5mm}\texttt{eval}~`\scram~\texttt{runtime}~\texttt{-csh}`
|
| 84 |
|
| 85 |
\ni Set up to include the project runtime settings
|
| 86 |
in a \texttt{bash} or Bourne shell environment:
|
| 87 |
|
| 88 |
\hspace{5mm}\texttt{eval}~`\scram~\texttt{runtime}~\texttt{-csh}`
|
| 89 |
|
| 90 |
\ni To dump this environment to a file which can be sourced later, use
|
| 91 |
|
| 92 |
\hspace{5mm}\scram~\texttt{runtime}~\texttt{-sh}~\texttt{-dump}~\textit{env.sh}
|
| 93 |
|
| 94 |
\ni Note that from \scram\ \thisrelease\ it is no longer necessary to
|
| 95 |
set the runtime environment before using the \scram~\texttt{build}
|
| 96 |
command as this is now handled automatically. Of course, it is still
|
| 97 |
required before running any executable in a developer area.
|
| 98 |
|

\section{\scram\ config}

\cmdintro:

| 105 |
\ni Dump configuration information for the current project area.
|
| 106 |
|
| 107 |
\begin{description}
|
| 108 |
\item[\textbf{-t}]
|
| 109 |
Dump a list of configured tools, rather like "\texttt{scram tool info}", but
|
| 110 |
in a format parseable by external scripts. This could be used to
|
| 111 |
create RPMs or \texttt{tar} files of external products required by a project.
|
| 112 |
|
| 113 |
\ni The format of each line of output is:
|
| 114 |
|
| 115 |
\hspace{5mm} \textsf{name} : \textsf{version} : \textsf{project} : $<$\textsf{base\_path}$>$ : \textit{dependencies}
|
| 116 |
|
| 117 |
\ni where the \textsf{project} entry is 0 or 1 depending on whether the
|
| 118 |
tool refers to a \scram\ project, $<$\textsf{base\_path}$>$ is the top
|
| 119 |
directory where the tool is installed (it can have the value
|
| 120 |
\texttt{SYSTEM} if located in system directories, \eg /lib) and
|
| 121 |
\textit{dependencies} lists the dependencies that the tool has on
|
| 122 |
other external tools. This will be set to \texttt{NONE} if there are
|
| 123 |
no external dependencies.\\
|
| 124 |
|
| 125 |
\item[\textbf{-f}]
|
| 126 |
List the tool info and project information.

|
| 136 |
\ni List the available projects and versions installed in the

\begin{description}
|
| 140 |
\item[\textbf{-c}]
|
| 141 |
List the available projects and versions installed in the local
|
| 142 |
\scram\ database without fancy formatting or header strings. The

|
| 144 |
by spaces for use in scripts.
|
| 145 |
\item[\textbf{-o}]
|
| 146 |
Show all projects from all versions (\ie pre-\scramvx)
|
| 147 |
of \scram\ (by default, only projects built and installed with
|
| 148 |
\scramvx\ will be listed). This emulates the old style of output.

\hspace{15mm}\scram~\texttt{db}~\texttt{-link}~\texttt{/some/path/project.lookup}
|
| 165 |

\ni Set up a new project development area or update an existing one. A new area will appear in the
|
| 197 |
current working directory by default.
|
| 198 |
|
| 199 |
\ni Supported options are
|

\item[\textbf{-d}~\inbrackets{area}]\mbox{}\\
|
| 206 |
Indicate a project installation area into which the new

\item[\textbf{-n}~\inbrackets{dir}]\mbox{}\\
|
| 210 |
Specify the name of the \scram\ development area you wish to

\ni Currently supported \texttt{URL} types are:
|
| 215 |
\begin{description}
|
| 216 |
\item[\textbf{database label}]\mbox{}\\
|
| 217 |
Labels can be assigned to installed releases of projects for easy
|
| 218 |
access (See "scram install" command). If you specify a label you must also specify
|
| 219 |
a project version. This command is normally used to create cloned developer areas.
|
| 220 |
\item[\textbf{-b}~\inbrackets{file}]\mbox{}\\
|
| 221 |
A boot file on an accessible file system. This command would
|
| 222 |
be used to create a project area from scratch on a laptop.

\example{Examples}\mbox{}
|

\hspace{5mm}\scram~\texttt{project}~\texttt{-b}~\texttt{~/myprojects/projecta/config/boot.xml}
|
| 230 |
|
| 231 |
\ni Use the \textbf{-f} flag followed by a valid filename (which \textit{must} end in ".conf") to
|
| 232 |
allow auto setup to proceed without reading files from a repository (standalone mode).
|
| 233 |
|
| 234 |
\ni Some project template files can be obtained using the command:
|
| 235 |
|
| 236 |
\hspace{5mm}\scram~\texttt{project}~\texttt{-template}
|
| 237 |
|
| 238 |
\ni The templates will be copied to a directory called \texttt{config} in the current directory.
|
| 239 |
|
| 240 |
\ni An existing developer area for a project can be updated to a more recent version of
|
| 241 |
the \textit{same} project by running
|
| 242 |
|
| 243 |
\hspace{5mm}\scram~\texttt{project}~\texttt{-update}~\inbrackets{VERSION}
|
| 244 |
|
| 245 |
\ni in the developer area. If no \texttt{VERSION} is given, the command is
|
| 246 |
considered as a query and will return a list of project versions which
|
| 247 |
are compatible with the configuration of the current area.
|
| 248 |
A subsequent invocation of the command with a valid \texttt{VERSION} will then update the area
|
| 249 |
to that version.
