[Soc-coordination] Gustavo Alkmim - Report 11- Automate Bootstrap Tool

[Gustavo Prado Alkmim]

############ Week 14 - Report 11

As I described in the last report, in this week the objectives were to (1)
really finish the automated bootstrap script, (2) create a new script to
make easier the modification of the sources and (3) make patches for the
modifications I already made in the sources and upload to git.

The first version of the automated bootstrap script is finished. I tested
it againts a native build and all the process are working fine. I could not
test it against a cross build since the botch script to give the crossbuild
order is not ready yet.

The script to make easier the modification of the sources are almost ready.
I'm just have to solve a bug that avoid me to open the files of the source
for edition.

This week i also created a new script to create the sbuild chroot
automatically. The result of the execution of the script is a complete
chroot ready for run sbuild. The chroot has build-essential, debhelper and
devscripts installed. It also contains a sources.list with all repositories
(as discribed in the last report) including a special repository that
should contain the (cross)toolchain. All the packages of the
cross-toolchain are also installed automatically in the chroot. This
scripts turns easier to reproduce the results and facilitates the process
of the bootstrap.

All the codes are in the git repository in [1]. I also added to the git the
structure of the Debian reprepro repositories I configured in my local
tests. to populate the repository the user just have to run a script inside
the directory.

Next week:
   -- Create the botch script to have a cross build order
   -- Finish the script to make easier the modification of the sources.
   -- Make patches for the modifications I already made in the sources and
upload to git.

Cheers,
