Appliance Development:Testing Packages with Changesets
From rPath Wiki
The changeset file generated in Cooking Package Recipes is named balsa-2.3.17.ccs. This is a local changeset that can be installed for testing. You can look at the file manifest inside of a changeset using the conary scs command. This command displays the files that copy to a system when installing the balsa package:
user@localhost> conary scs balsa-2.3.17.ccs --ls
Test the package by installing the changeset locally with the conary update command:
user@localhost> sudo conary update balsa-2.3.17.ccs Password: Resolving dependencies...The following updates will be performed: Install balsa(:data :doc :lib :locale :runtime)=2.3.17-1-0.1 continue with update? [Y/n] Applying update job: Install balsa(:data :doc :lib :locale :runtime)=2.3.17-1-0.1 user@localhost> balsa
Executing balsa launches the application. When you are satisfied that the application performs as needed, remove the application as shown below:
user@localhost> sudo conary erase balsa-2.3.17.ccs Password: Resolving dependencies...The following updates will be performed: Erase balsa(:data :doc :lib :locale :runtime)=2.3.17-1-0.1 continue with update? [Y/n] Y Applying update job: Erase balsa(:data :doc :lib :locale :runtime)=2.3.17-1-0.1 user@localhost>
After testing this package locally and verifying the application works as designed, you must then cook the application into the repository so that it is accessible to others.
