This library provides a high level package-manager. It's core library of dnf, PackageKit and rpm-ostree. It's replacement for deprecated hawkey library which it contains inside and uses librepo under the hood.
LGPLv2+
Packages needed for the build, or the build requires:
- make
- check-devel
- cmake
- gcc
- libsolv-devel
- libsolv-tools
- librepo-devel
- python-devel (or python3-devel for Python 3 build)
- python-nose (or python3-nose for Python 3 build)
- rpm-devel
- glib2-devel
- gtk-doc
- gobject-introspection-devel
- python-sphinx
From the checkout dir::
mkdir build
cd build/
cmake .. # add '-DPYTHON_DESIRED="3"' option for Python 3 build
make
Building the documentation, from the build/ directory::
make doc
Building RPMs:
tito init # Step is required due to removal of tito support from the project
tito build --rpm --test
All unit tests should pass after the build finishes:
cd build/tests
make tests
There are two parts of unit tests: unit tests in C and unit tests in Python. To run the C part of the tests manually, from hawkey checkout::
build/tests/test_main tests/repos/
Manually executing the Python tests::
PYTHONPATH=`readlink -f ./build/src/python/` nosetests -s tests/python/tests/
The PYTHONPATH is unfortunately needed as the Python test suite needs to know where to import the built hawkey modules.
See the hawkey documentation page.
Information internal to the hawkey development is maintained on a github wiki.
