This makes it so there is only a single `apt-get install` command run,
instead of one command per-package like with the chef script. It also adds
`apt-get upgrade` to make sure that the base box is fully up-to-date.
This is part of the effort to remove moving parts from the whole build
server setup. Why wrap shell scripts in ruby and chef if we can just
directly run a shell script?
Note that the apt packages are split into two halves, because it takes
too long (on 64 bit!) to install them all. The sensible fix would be
to simply up the timeout on the package installation section, but this
is completely broken in chef.
Also, remove jdk7 as it will become unused. We added jdk8 for
retrolambda, and now that we will use jdk8 as the default, jdk7 is
unnecessary as retrolambda can work fine with just jdk8.
This removes it from the buildserver, and the new CI image also only has
jdk8 from jessie-backports.
Fixes#185.
This was not using anything special from chef, so do it in a shell script
instead. This makes the script easier for the python/shell people, and
probably uses less memory, since chef is a memory hog. This might even
make the provision go faster since it uploads the whole script as a file to
the VM, then runs it there. I think chef sends each command via SSH.
`android update sdk --no-ui` is the standard command line tool for
installing the Android SDK. By symlinking into the $ANDROID_HOME/temp dir,
the cached files can still be used. This converts the chef recipe to a
vagrant shell provisioning script since it was all bash anyway.
Some file names no longer officially have a -linux in them, so those were
changed to keep the cache working with the default filename.
bash provides a standard file location for a script to be run when the
shell starts: /etc/profile.d/ This converts the scattered bits of code for
making ~/.bsenv into a single provisioning script to generate
/etc/profile.d/bsenv.sh, which gets automatically executed when bash starts
Apparently, ruby is quite a memory hog when it forks. I've been getting
errors like this with ./makebuildserver:
Errno::ENOMEM - script[add_btools_17] (android-sdk::default line 72) had an
error: Errno::ENOMEM: Cannot allocate memory - fork(2)
So instead of looping in ruby and forking for each loop, handle the looping
in the bash script, so ruby is just calling a single bash script.
It will make it a lot easier to manage the cache if we use the original
file names, which often include the file version. This also changes the
download process to be resumable if there is a partial file in the cache,
and switches from calling wget on the command line to using the python libs
'requests' and 'clint' to provide a similar experience. While its not so
important for this particular bit of code to use those libraries, I think
those two will allow us to provide a better user experience throughout the
whole of fdroidserver.
In this case, it is already doing special tricks fetching the file size
from the server before trying to download it. I suppose this code could
instead check if the file exists, and if so, check the hash sum. I think
that would be slower for most people since checking the hash on large files
takes a noticeable about of time, while a HTTP HEAD request is pretty tiny.
Install version 25 now. Also use the smaller tools zip. While at it,
also remove the tools re-install - it's not worth it, as long as we keep
the initial tools zip up to date.
config option to enable per-app repos for nightly builds
For Guardian Project, we've been running an fdroid repo for the nightly builds for each of our apps: https://dev.guardianproject.info/debug This is built using a big, hacked up shell script: [update-debug-fdroid-repo](https://github.com/guardianproject/fdroid-repo-tools/blob/master/update-debug-fdroid-repo). It has proven very useful to us to be able to subscribe to the nightly build for a single app, so this the first step of porting that horrid shell script to `fdroidserver`.
This also helps make the fdroidserver tool suite the single set of tools for all types of builds and releases. That will hopefully drive more free software developers to make f-droid.org the core channel for official releases.

On some setups, using a custom apt mirror is essential, so this adds a
command line flag to override the default one:
http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/
For example, someone who runs a local mirror for offline and low bandwidth
situations.
This uses a % rather than a .format() to avoid escaping { and }, which have
meaning when using .format().
