rBuilder Online:Add Packages to a Group

From rPath Wiki

rBuilder groups can be created and edited by product owners and developers. To edit a group using Group Builder, you must first select the group from the product's Group Builder page. This selection will make this group the current group and will provide you with a Group Builder panel on the right side of each page.

The Group Builder panel is displayed as you navigate throughout rBuilder selecting packages to add to the group. Use the links in this panel to read package (trove) information, remove packages, cook the group, or access the Edit Group page for the current group.

Packages and other groups can be selected from any rBuilder repository to add to the current group. Each added item is listed in the Group Builder panel.

Add Existing rBuilder Packages

To add an existing package to a group from any other location in rBuilder, use the Search options at the top of any rBuilder page. Search for a package or for a product that contains the package. Use the search results as follows.

If you search by product:

1. Navigate the search results to find the product that contains the desired package.
2. Click the product name in the search results.
3. Click Repository to access the product's Repository page.
4. Use the linked letters to find a package by the first letter of its package name.
5. Click Add to <group_name> beside the package to add it to the current product.

If you search by package:

1. Navigate the search results to find the desired package.
2. Click Add to <group_name> beside the package to add it to the current product.

Repeat this "search-and-select" process for all existing packages you wish to add to your group. Confirm your new additions are listed in the Group Builder panel.

Add a New Package to rBuilder

To create new packages to add to your group, use the instructions in the New Package Tutorial for Conary. You will need a Conary-based system and a build environment to create these packages. These documents cover adding the packages to a group.

Additionally, rBuilder can use rMake to perform controlled builds of software contained in products for which you are a member.
