Outreachy 2017

[Dristi Butola]

Hi

I hope to participate in Outreachy 2017 under Fedora in the project 389
Directory, mentored by William Brown.
I am fluent with the skills mentioned for the project. How should I start
the application process and my contributions to be a strong candidate for
this project.

Gratitude.

Hi there,

Thanks for your interest! I'm still looking through everyone who has
shown an interest in the project, and I have been sick recently so I'm
really sorry for the late response :( 

I think the best place to start is our contributing guide. It says how
you can setup the server and source, and start looking at it.

 http://www.port389.org/docs/389ds/contributing.html

I hope that this gives you a place to start asking questions,

Hello :) I facing an issue while building it locally, although `yum install
389-ds-base` worked fine but when I try to build the server locally by
referencing
http://www.port389.org/docs/389ds/contributing.html  ,  this command
`$ sudo dnf builddep --setopt=strict=False 389-ds-base/rpm/
389-ds-base.spec.in`  , gives me  an ERROR
"no package matched: 389-ds-base/rpm/389-ds-base.spec.in".

I think there is a mistake on the page, there is a $$2 where it should
be $2

sudo dnf install --setopt=strict=False `grep -E "^(Build)?Requires"
ds/rpm/389-ds-base.spec.in lib389/python-lib389.spec | grep -v -E
'(name|MODULE)' | awk '{ print $$2 }' | sed
's/%{python3_pkgversion}/3/g' | grep -v "^/" | grep -v pkgversion |
sort
| uniq | tr '\n' ' '`

^ Has the error, see the awk command? Should be:

awk '{ print $2 }'

I think as well perhaps:

ds/rpm/389-ds-base.spec.in

Should be:

389-ds-base/rpm/389-ds-base.spec.in

Try changing those and see how it goes,

Hi :)

I am facing the problem in  the command just above the command you pointed
have an error.

sudo dnf builddep --setopt=strict=False 389-ds-base/rpm/389-ds-base.spec.in

it gives me  this error

no package matched: 389-ds-base/rpm/389-ds-base.spec.in.

How to solve this ?

Thanks.

According to my own notes I don't even use that command. I think it's a
mistake on the website. The issue is with dnf that it expects specfiles
to end in ".spec", where as this is ".in". So it thinks it's a
package
name.

A way around it is:

sudo dnf install --setopt=strict=False `grep -E "^(Build)?Requires"
389-ds-base/rpm/389-ds-base.spec.in lib389/python-lib389.spec | grep -v
-E '(name|MODULE)' | awk '{ print $2 }' | sed
's/%{python3_pkgversion}/3/g' | grep -v "^/" | grep -v pkgversion |
sort
| uniq | tr '\n' ' '`

This is a command that should be run on a single line,

Hope that helps,

Hi @William

I tried that command earlier and got errors of  inspite of availability of
the respective files.

"No package lib389/python-lib389.spec:"

&

"No package 389-ds-base/rpm/389-ds-base.spec.in"

I looked up regarding this for  rpm build  , and went through this
http://directory.fedoraproject.org/docs/389ds/development/building.html#n...
as to build spec files. But I am still facing issues , I am thinking of
trying it on CentOS 7 @virtualbox .
What's your say on it , my current os is Fedora 25.

Please suggest how to move from here.

Thanks.

Centos7 might be a bit easier, Yum does not have the issues that DNF
does. Give it a try and let me know how it goes, 

I really want to improve this dependency creation process because at the
moment it's not great :(

Hello William

I saw this project listing on outreachy project to be having good number of
filled already. Just wanted to know if you have already got a strong
candidate :)  so that I can look for alternates.

Thanks
