\h0#preface|Preface|

This document describes \c{bbot}, the \c{build2} build bot. For the build bot
command line interface refer to the \l{bbot-agent(1)} and \l{bbot-worker(1)}
man pages.

\h1#intro|Introduction|

\h1#arch|Architecture|

The \c{bbot} architecture includes several layers for security and
manageability. At the top we have a \c{bbot} running in the \i{controller}
mode. The controller monitors various \i{build sources} for \i{build
tasks}. For example, a controller may poll a \c{brep} instances for any new
packages to built as well as monitor a \cb{git} repository for any new commits
to test. There can be several layers of controllers with \c{brep} being just a
special kind. A machine running a \c{bbot} instance in the controller mode is
called a \i{controller host}.

Below the controllers we have a \c{bbot} running in the \i{agent} mode
normally on Build OS. The agent polls its controllers for \i{build tasks} to
perform. A machine running a \c{bbot} instance in the agent mode is called a
\i{build host}.

The actual building is performed in the virtual machines and/or containers
that are executed on the build host. Inside virtual machines/containers,
\c{bbot} is running in the \i{worker mode} and receives build tasks from its
agent. Virtual machines and containers running a \c{bbot} instance in the
worker mode are collectively called \i{build machines}.

Let's now examine the workflow in the other direction, that is, from a worker
to a controller. Once a build machine is booted (by the agent), the worker
inside connects to the TFTP server running on the build host and downloads the
\i{build task manifest}. It then proceeds to perform the build task and
uploads the \i{build result manifest} (which includes build logs) to the TFTP
server.

Once an agent receives a build task for a specific build machine, it goes
through the following steps. First, it creates a directory on its TFTP server
with the \i{machine name} as its name and places the build task manifest
inside. Next, it makes a throw-away snapshot of the build machine and boots
it. After booting the build machine, the agent monitors the machine directory
on its TFTP server for the build result manifest (uploaded by the worker once
the build has completed). Once the result manifest is obtained, the agent
shuts down the build machine and discards its snapshot.

To obtains a build task the agent polls via HTTP/HTTPS one or more
controllers. Before each poll request the agent enumerates the available build
machines and sends this information as part of the request. The controller
responds with a build task manifest that identifies a specific build machine
to use.

In the task request the agent specifies if only non-interactive, interactive,
or both build kinds are supported. If interactive builds are supported, it
additionally provides the login information for interactive build sessions. If
the controller responds with an interactive build task, then its manifest
specifies the breakpoint the worker must stop the task execution at and prompt
the user whether to continue or abort the execution. The user can log into the
build machine, potentially perform some troubleshooting, and, when done,
either answer the prompt or just shutdown the machine.

If the controller has higher-level controllers (for example, \c{brep}), then
it aggregates the available build machines from its agents and polls these
controllers (just as an agent would), forwarding build tasks to suitable
agents. In this case we say that the \i{controller act as an agent}. The
controller may also be configured to monitor build sources, such as SCM
repositories, directly in which case it generates build tasks itself.

In this architecture the build results are propagated up the chain: from a
worker, to its agent, to its controller, and so on. A controller that is the
final destination of a build result uses email to notify interested parties of
the outcome. For example, \c{brep} would send a notification to the package
owner if the build failed. Similarly, a \c{bbot} controller that monitors a
\cb{git} repository would send an email to a committer if their commit caused a
build failure. The email would include a link (normally HTTP/HTTPS) to the
build logs hosted by the controller.

\h#arch-machine-config|Configurations|

The \c{bbot} architecture distinguishes between a \i{machine configuration},
\i{build target configuration}, and a \i{build package configuration}. The
machine configuration captures the operating system, installed compiler
toolchain, and so on. The same build machine may be used to \"generate\"
multiple \i{build target configurations}. For example, the same machine can
normally be used to produce 32/64-bit and debug/optimized builds.

The machine configuration is \i{approximately} encoded in its \i{machine
name}. The machine name is a list of components separated with \c{-}.
Components cannot be empty and must contain only alpha-numeric characters,
underscores, dots, and pluses with the whole id being a portably-valid path
component.

The encoding is approximate in a sense that it captures only what's important
to distinguish in a particular \c{bbot} deployment.

The first component normally identifies the operating system and has the
following recommended form:

\
[<arch>_][<class>_]<os>[_<version>]
\

For example:

\
windows
windows_10
windows_10.1607
i686_windows_xp
bsd_freebsd_10
linux_centos_6.2
linux_ubuntu_16.04
macos_10.12
\

The second component normally identifies the installed compiler toolchain and
has the following recommended form:

\
<id>[<version>][<vendor>][<runtime>]
\

For example:

\
gcc
gcc_6
gcc_6.3
gcc_6.3_mingw_w64
clang_3.9_libc++
clang_3.9_libstdc++
msvc_14
msvc_14u3
icc
\

Some examples of complete machine names:

\
windows_10-msvc_14u3
macos_10.12-clang_10.0
linux_ubuntu_16.04-gcc_6.3
aarch64_linux_debian_11-gcc_12.2
\

Similarly, the build target configuration is encoded in a \i{configuration
name} using the same overall format. As described in \l{#arch-controller
Controller Logic}, target configurations are generated from machine
configurations. As a result, it usually makes sense to have the first
component identify the operating systems and the second component \- the
toolchain with the rest identifying a particular target configuration variant,
for example, optimized, sanitized, etc. For example:

\
windows-vc_14-O2
linux-gcc_6-O3_asan
\

While we can also specify the \c{<arch>} component in a build target
configuration, this information is best conveyed as part of \c{<target>} as
described in \l{#arch-controller Controller Logic}.

A package can be built in multiple package configurations per target
configuration. A build package configuration normally specifies the options
and/or the package configuration variables that need to be used for the
build. It may also include the information regarding the dependency packages
which need to additionally be configured. The build package configurations
originate from the package manifest \c{*-build-config}, \c{*-builds},
\c{*-build-include}, and \c{*-build-exclude} values. See
\l{bpkg#manifest-package Package Manifest} for more information on these
values.

\h#arch-machine-header|Machine Header Manifest|

@@ TODO: need ref to general manifest overview in bpkg, or, better yet,
move it to libbutl and ref to that from both places.

The build machine header manifest contains basic information about a build
machine on the build host. A list of machine header manifests is sent by
\c{bbot} agents to controllers. The manifest synopsis is presented next
followed by the detailed description of each value in subsequent sections.

\
id: <machine-id>
name: <machine-name>
summary: <string>
\

For example:

\
id: windows_10-msvc_14-1.3
name: windows_10-msvc_14
summary: Windows 10 build 1607 with VC 14 update 3
\

\h2#arch-machine-header-id|\c{id}|

\
id: <machine-id>
\

The unique machine version/revision/build identifier. For virtual machines
this can be the disk image checksum. For a container this can be UUID that is
re-generated every time a container filesystem is altered.

Note that we assume that a different machine identifier is assigned on any
change that may affect the build result.


\h2#arch-machine-header-name|\c{name}|

\
name: <machine-name>
\

The machine name.


\h2#arch-machine-header-summary|\c{summary}|

\
summary: <string>
\

The one-line description of the machine.


\h#arch-machine|Machine Manifest|

The build machine manifest contains the complete description of a build
machine on the build host (see the Build OS documentation for their origin and
location). The machine manifest starts with the machine manifest header with
all the header values appearing before any non-header values. The non-header
part of manifest synopsis is presented next followed by the detailed
description of each value in subsequent sections.

\
type: kvm|nspawn
[mac]: <addr>
[options]: <machine-options>
[changes]: <text>
\


\h2#arch-machine-type|\c{type}|

\
type: kvm|nspawn
\

The machine type. Valid values are \c{kvm} (QEMU/KVM virtual machine) and
\c{nspawn} (\c{systemd-nspawn} container).


\h2#arch-machine-mac|\c{mac}|

\
[mac]: <addr>
\

The fixed MAC address for the machine. Must be in the hexadecimal,
comma-separated format. For example:

\
mac: de:ad:be:ef:de:ad
\

If it is not specified, then a random address is generated on the first
machine bootstrap which is then reused for each build/re-bootstrap. Note that
if you specify a fixed address, then the machine can only be used by a single
\c{bbot} agent.


\h2#arch-machine-options|\c{options}|

\
[options]: <machine-options>
\

The list of machine options. The exact semantics is machine type-dependent
(see below). A single level of quotes (either single or double) is removed in
each option before being passed on. Options can be separated with spaces or
newlines.

For \c{kvm} machines, if this value is present, then it replaces the default
network and disk configuration when starting the QEMU/KVM hypervisor. The
options are pre-processed by replacing the question mark in \c{ifname=?} and
\c{mac=?} strings with the network interface and MAC address, respectively.


\h2#arch-machine-changes|\c{changes}|

\
[changes]: <text>
\

The description of machine changes in this version.

Multiple \c{changes} values can be present which are all concatenated in the
order specified, that is, the first value is considered to be the most recent.
For example:

\
changes: 1.1: initial version
changes: 1.2: increased disk size to 30GB
\

Or:

\
changes:
\\
1.1
  - initial version

1.2
  - increased disk size to 30GB
  - upgraded bootstrap baseutils
\\
\


\h#arch-task|Task Manifest|

The task manifest describes a build task. It consists of two groups of values.
The first group defines the package to build. The second group defines the
build configuration to use for building the package. The manifest synopsis is
presented next followed by the detailed description of each value in
subsequent sections.

\
name: <package-name>
version: <package-version>
#location: <package-url>
repository-url: <repository-url>
[repository-type]: pkg|git|dir
[trust]: <repository-fp>
[requires]: <package-requirements>
[tests]: <dependency-package>
[examples]: <dependency-package>
[benchmarks]: <dependency-package>
[dependency-checksum]: <checksum>

machine: <machine-name>
target: <target-triplet>
[environment]: <environment-name>
[target-config]: <tgt-config-args>
[package-config]: <pkg-config-args>
[host]: true|false
[warning-regex]: <warning-regex>
[interactive]: <breakpoint>
[worker-checksum]: <checksum>
\


\h2#arch-task-name|\c{name}|

\
name: <package-name>
\

The package name to build.


\h2#arch-task-version|\c{version}|

\
version: <package-version>
\

The package version to build.


\h2#arch-task-repository-url|\c{repository-url}|

\
repository-url: <repository-url>
\

The URL of the repository that contains the package and its dependencies.


\h2#arch-task-repository-type|\c{repository-type}|

\
[repository-type]: pkg|git|dir
\

The repository type (see \c{repository-url} for details). Alternatively, the
repository type can be specified as part of the URL scheme. See
\l{bpkg-repository-types(1)} for details.


\h2#arch-task-trust|\c{trust}|

\
[trust]: <repository-fp>
\

The SHA256 repository certificate fingerprint to trust (see the \c{bpkg}
\c{--trust} option for details). This value may be specified multiple times to
establish the authenticity of multiple certificates. If the special \c{yes}
value is specified, then all repositories will be trusted without
authentication (see the \c{bpkg} \c{--trust-yes} option).

Note that while the controller may return a task with \c{trust} values,
whether they will be used is up to the agent's configuration. For example,
some agents may only trust their internally-specified fingerprints to prevent
the \"man in the middle\" attacks.


\h2#arch-task-requires-tests-examples-benchmarks|\c{requires, tests, examples, benchmarks}|

The primary package manifest values that need to be known by the \c{bbot}
worker before it retrieves the primary package manifest. See
\l{bpkg#manifest-package Package Manifest} for more information on these
values.

The controller copies these values from the primary package manifest, except
those \c{tests}, \c{examples}, and \c{benchmarks} values which should be
excluded from building due to their \c{builds}, \c{build-include}, and
\c{build-exclude} manifest values.


\h2#arch-task-dependency-checksum|\c{dependency-checksum}|

\
[dependency-checksum]: <checksum>
\

The package dependency checksum received as a part of the previous build task
result (see \l{#arch-result Result Manifest}).


\h2#arch-task-machine|\c{machine}|

\
machine: <machine-name>
\

The name of the build machine to use.


\h2#arch-task-target|\c{target}|

\
target: <target-triplet>
\

The target to build for.

Compared to the autotools terminology, the \c{machine} value corresponds to
\c{--build} (the machine we are building on) and \c{target} \- to \c{--host}
(the machine we are building for). While we use essentially the same \i{target
triplet} format as autotools for \c{target}, it is not flexible enough for
\c{machine}.


\h2#arch-task-environment|\c{environment}|

\
[environment]: <environment-name>
\

The name of the build environment to use. See \l{#arch-worker Worker Logic}
for details.


\h2#arch-task-target-config|\c{target-config}|

\
[target-config]: <tgt-config-args>
\

The additional target configuration options and variables. A single level of
quotes (either single or double) is removed in each value before being passed
to \c{bpkg}. For example, the following value:

\
target-config: config.cc.coptions=\"-O3 -stdlib='libc++'\"
\

Will be passed to \c{bpkg} as the following (single) argument:

\
config.cc.coptions=-O3 -stdlib='libc++'
\

Values can be separated with spaces or newlines. See \l{#arch-controller
Controller Logic} for details.


\h2#arch-task-package-config|\c{package-config}|

\
[package-config]: <pkg-config-args>
\

The primary package manifest \c{*-build-config} value for the build
configuration the build task is issued for. See \l{bpkg#manifest-package
Package Manifest} for more information on this value. A single level of quotes
(either single or double) is removed in each value before being passed to
\c{bpkg}. For example, the following value:

\
package-config: \"?libcurl ~7.76.0\"
\

Will be passed to \c{bpkg} as the following (single) argument:

\
?libcurl ~7.76.0
\

Values can be separated with spaces or newlines. See \l{#arch-controller
Controller Logic} for details.


\h2#arch-task-host|\c{host}|

\
[host]: true|false
\

If \c{true}, then the build target configuration is self-hosted. If not
specified, \c{false} is assumed. See \l{#arch-controller Controller Logic} for
details.


\h2#arch-task-warning-regex|\c{warning-regex}|

\
[warning-regex]: <warning-regex>
\

Additional regular expressions that should be used to detect warnings in the
build logs. Note that only the first 512 bytes of each log line is considered.

A single level of quotes (either single or double) is removed in each
expression before being used for search. For example, the following value:

\
warning-regex: \"warning C4\d{3}: \"
\

Will be treated as the following (single) regular expression (with a trailing
space):

\
warning C4\d{3}:
\

Expressions can be separated with spaces or newlines. They will be added to
the following default list of regular expressions that detect the \c{build2}
toolchain warnings:

\
^warning:
^.+: warning:
\

Note that this built-in list also covers GCC and Clang warnings (for the
English locale).


\h2#arch-task-interactive|\c{interactive}|

\
[interactive]: <breakpoint>
\

The task execution step to stop at. Can only be present if the agent has
specified \c{interactive-mode} with either the \c{true} or \c{both} value in
the task request.

The breakpoint can either be a primary step id of the worker script or the
special \c{error} or \c{warning} value. There is also the special \c{none}
value which never interrupts the task execution. See \l{#arch-worker Worker
Logic} for details.


\h2#arch-task-worker-checksum|\c{worker-checksum}|

\
[worker-checksum]: <checksum>
\

The worker checksum received as a part of the previous build task result (see
\l{#arch-result Result Manifest}).


\h#arch-result|Result Manifest|

The result manifest describes a build result. The manifest synopsis is
presented next followed by the detailed description of each value in
subsequent sections.

\
name: <package-name>
version: <package-version>

status:                  <status>
[configure-status]:      <status>
[update-status]:         <status>
[test-status]:           <status>
[install-status]:        <status>
[bindist-status]:        <status>
[sys-install-status]:    <status>
[test-installed-status]: <status>
[sys-uninstall-status]:  <status>
[uninstall-status]:      <status>
[upload-status]:         <status>

[configure-log]:      <text>
[update-log]:         <text>
[test-log]:           <text>
[install-log]:        <text>
[bindist-log]:        <text>
[sys-install-log]:    <text>
[test-installed-log]: <text>
[sys-uninstall-log]:  <text>
[uninstall-log]:      <text>
[upload-log]:         <text>

[worker-checksum]:     <checksum>
[dependency-checksum]: <checksum>
\


\h2#arch-result-name|\c{name}|

\
name: <package-name>
\

The package name from the task manifest.


\h2#arch-result-version|\c{version}|

\
version: <package-version>
\

The package version from the task manifest.


\h2#arch-result-status|\c{status}|

\
status: <status>
\

The overall (cumulative) build result status. Valid values are:

\
skip       # Package update and subsequent operations were skipped.
success    # All operations completed successfully.
warning    # One or more operations completed with warnings.
error      # One or more operations completed with errors.
abort      # One or more operations were aborted.
abnormal   # One or more operations terminated abnormally.
interrupt  # Task execution has been interrupted.
\

The \c{abort} status indicates that the operation has been aborted by
\c{bbot}, for example, because it was consuming too many resources and/or was
taking too long. Note that a task can be aborted both by the \c{bbot} worker
as well as the agent. In the later case the whole machine is shut down and no
operation-specific status or logs will be included (@@ Maybe we should just
include 'log:' with commands that start VM, for completeness?).

The \c{abnormal} status indicates that the operation has terminated
abnormally, for example, due to the package manager or build system crash.

The \c{interrupt} status indicates that the task execution has been
interrupted, for example, to reassign resources to a higher priority task.

Note that the overall \c{status} value should appear before any per-operation
\c{*-status} values.

The \c{skip} status indicates that the received from the controller build task
checksums have not changed and the task execution has therefore been skipped
under the assumtion that it would have produced the same result. See
\c{agent-checksum}, \c{worker-checksum}, and \c{dependency-checksum} for
details.


\h2#arch-result-x-status|\c{*-status}|

\
[*-status]: <status>
\

The per-operation result status. Note that the \c{*-status} values should
appear in the same order as the corresponding operations were performed
and for each \c{*-status} there should be the corresponding \c{*-log}
value. Currently supported operation names:

\
configure
update
test
install
bindist
sys-install
test-installed
sys-uninstall
uninstall
upload
\


\h2#arch-result-x-log|\c{*-log}|

\
[*-log]: <text>
\

The per-operation result log. Note that the \c{*-log} values should appear
last and in the same order as the corresponding \c{*-status} values. For
the list of supported operation names refer to the \c{*-status} value
description.


\h2#arch-result-dependency-checksum|\c{dependency-checksum}|

\
[dependency-checksum]: <checksum>
\

The package dependency checksum obtained as a byproduct of the package
configuration operation. See \l{bpkg-pkg-build(1)} command's
\c{--rebuild-checksum} option for details.


\h2#arch-result-worker-checksum|\c{worker-checksum}|

\
[worker-checksum]: <checksum>
\

The version of the worker logic used to perform the package build task.


\h#arch-task-req|Task Request Manifest|

if \c{interactive-mode} is specified with the \c{true} or \c{both} value.


\h2#arch-task-req-fingerprint|\c{fingerprint}|

\
[fingerprint]: <agent-fingerprint>
\

The SHA256 fingerprint of the agent's public key. An agent may be configured
not to use the public key-based authentication in which case it does not
include this value. However, the controller may be configured to require the
authentication in which case it should respond with the 401 (unauthorized)
HTTP status code.


\h#arch-task-res|Task Response Manifest|

A controller sends the task response manifest in response to the task request
initiated by an agent. The response is delivered as a result of the POST
method. The task response starts with the task response manifest optionally
followed by the task manifest. The task response manifest synopsis is
presented next followed by the detailed description of each value in
subsequent sections.

\
session: <id>
[challenge]: <text>
[result-url]: <url>
[agent-checksum]: <checksum>
\


\h2#arch-task-res-session|\c{session}|

The identifier assigned to this session by the controller. An empty value
indicates that the controller has no tasks at this time in which case all the
following values as well as the task manifest are absent.


\h2#arch-task-res-challenge|\c{challenge}|

\
[challenge]: <text>
\

The random, 64 characters long string (nonce) used to challenge the agent's
private key. If present, then the agent must sign this string and include the
signature in the result request (see below).

The signature should be calculated by encrypting the string with the agent's
private key and then \c{base64}-encoding the result.


\h2#arch-task-res-result-url|\c{result-url}|

request (see \l{#arch-result-req Result Request Manifest}).


\h#arch-result-req|Result Request Manifest|

On completion of a task an agent (or controller acting as an agent) sends the
result (upload) request to the controller via the POST method using the URL
returned in the task response (see above). The result request starts with the
result request manifest followed by the result manifest. Note that there is no
result response and only a successful but empty POST result is returned. The
result request manifest synopsis is presented next followed by the detailed
description of each value in subsequent sections.

\
session: <id>

the task response.


\h2#arch-result-req-agent-checksum|\c{agent-checksum}|

\
[agent-checksum]: <checksum>
\

The version of the agent logic used to perform the package build task.


\h#arch-worker|Worker Logic|

The \c{bbot} worker builds each package in a \i{build environment} that is
established for a particular build target. The environment has three
components: the execution environment (environment variables, etc), build
system modules, as well as configuration options and variables.

Setting up of the environment is performed by an executable (script, batch
file, etc). Specifically, upon receiving a build task, if it specifies the
environment name then the worker looks for the environment setup executable
with this name in a specific directory and for the executable called
\c{default} otherwise. Not being able to locate the environment executable is
an error.

Once the environment setup executable is determined, the worker re-executes
itself as that executable passing to it as command line arguments the target
name, the path to the \c{bbot} worker to be executed once the environment is
setup, and any additional options that need to be propagated to the re-executed
worker. The environment setup executable is executed in the build directory as
its current working directory. The build directory contains the build task
\c{task.manifest} file.

The environment setup executable sets up the necessary execution environment
for example by adjusting \c{PATH} or running a suitable \c{vcvars} batch file.
It then re-executes itself as the \c{bbot} worker passing to it as command
line arguments (in addition to worker options) the list of build system
modules (\c{<env-modules>}) and the list of configuration options and variables
(\c{<env-config-args>}). The environment setup executable must execute the
\c{bbot} worker in the build directory as the current working directory.

The re-executed \c{bbot} worker then proceeds to test the package from the
repository by executing the following commands, collectively called a
\i{worker script}. Each command has a unique \i{step id} that can be used as a
breakpoint and normally as a prefix in the \c{<tgt-config-args>},
\c{<env-config-args>}, and \c{<env-modules>} values as discussed in
\l{#arch-controller Controller Logic} as well as in the \c{<pkg-config-args>}
values (see below). The \c{<>}-values are from the task manifest and the
environment though some are assigned by the worker during the script execution
(configuration directories, UUIDs, etc). In particular, the
\c{<pkg-config-args>} (prefixed global options and variables),
\c{<pkg-config-opts>} (unprefixed options), \c{<pkg-config-vars>} (unprefixed
variables), \c{<dependency-name>}, \c{<dependency-version-constraint>}, and
\c{<dep-config-vars>} values result from parsing the
\l{#arch-task-package-config \c{package-config}} task manifest value.

Some prefix step ids have fallback step ids which are used in the absence of
the primary step id values. If the prefix step id differs from the breakpoint
step id and/or has the fallback step ids, then they are listed in parenthesis:
the prefix id before the colon and the fallback ids after it.

Some commands have no target configuration or environment options or
variables. Such commands have only breakpoint step ids associated, which are
listed in square brackets.

Note that the worker script varies for different primary package types. The
\c{bbot} worker classifies the primary package based on the configuration type
in which it is built: \c{module} (build system module packages), \c{host}
(packages such as source code generators, marked with the \c{requires: host}
manifest value; see \l{bpkg#manifest-package Package Manifest} for details),
and \c{target} (all other packages).

Note also that the \c{*.configure.build} step configures potentially multiple
packages (primary package, tests, etc) in potentially multiple configurations
by always using the \c{bpkg.global.configure.build} prefix step id for global
(as opposed to package-specific) \l{bpkg-pkg-build(1)} options. The
\c{bpkg.global.configure.build} prefix id has no fallback ids.

Note finally that if no configuration variables are specified in the main
package configuration, then the worker adds the
\c{config.<name>.develop=false} configuration variable for the main package at
the \c{bpkg.configure.build} step to trigger its package skeleton creation and
loading. It also adds this variable for external test packages at this step
and for the same purpose. This makes sure that these packages can be used as
dependencies of dependents with configuration clauses. To keep the below
listings concise, these variables are not shown.

For details on configuring and testing installation refer to
\l{#arch-controller Controller Logic}.

If a primary or test package comes from a version control-based repository,
then its \c{dist} meta-operation is also tested as a part of the
\c{bpkg[.*].configure.build} steps by re-distributing the source directory in
the load distribution mode after configuration.

If the build is interactive, then the worker pauses its execution at the
specified breakpoint and prompts the user whether to continue or abort the
execution. If the breakpoint is a step id, then the worker pauses prior to
executing every command of the specified step. Otherwise, the breakpoint
denotes the result status and the worker pauses if the command results with
the specified or more critical status (see \l{#arch-result Result Manifest}).

As an example, the following POSIX shell script can be used to setup the
environment for building C and C++ packages with GCC 9 on most Linux
distributions.

\
#!/bin/sh

# Environment setup script for C/C++ compilation with GCC 9.
#
# $1  - target
# $2  - bbot executable
# $3+ - bbot options

set -e # Exit on errors.

\h2#arch-worker-bindist-result|Bindist Result Manifest|

At the \c{bbot.bindist.upload} step the worker also creates the
\c{bindist-result.json} and \c{bindist-result.manifest} files in the
\c{upload/bindist/<distribution>/} directory, next to the generated binary
distribution package files. The \c{bindist-result.json} file contains the
structured JSON output of the \l{bpkg-pkg-bindist(1)} command. The
\c{bindist-result.manifest} file contains the subset of the information from
\c{bindist-result.json}. Specifically, it starts with the binary distribution
package header manifest followed by a list of package file manifests. The
manifest values are:

\
distribution:
architecture:
os-release-name-id:
os-release-version-id:
package-name:
package-version:
[package-system-version]:

package-file-type:
package-file-path:
[package-file-system-name]:
\

The manifest values derive from the corresponding JSON object values and
preserve their semantics. The only differences are that the
\c{os-release-version-id} value may not be absent and the
\c{package-file-path} values are relative to the
\c{upload/bindist/<distribution>/} directory and are in the POSIX
representation. See \l{bpkg-pkg-bindist(1)} for the JSON values semantics.

\h#arch-controller|Controller Logic|

A \c{bbot} controller that issues own build tasks maps available build
machines (as reported by agents) to \i{build target configurations} according
to the \c{buildtab} configuration file. Blank lines and lines that start with
\c{#} are ignored. All other lines in this file have the following format:

\
<machine-pattern> <target-config> <target>[/<environment>] <classes> [<tgt-config-arg>]* [<warning-regex>]*

<tgt-config-arg> = [[+|-]<prefix>:](<variable>|<option>) | \\
                   (+|-)<prefix>:
<prefix> = <tool>[.<cfg-type>][.<phase>][.<operation>[.<command>]]
\

Where \c{<machine-pattern>} is filesystem wildcard pattern that is matched
against available machine names, \c{<target-config>} is the target
configuration name, \c{<target>} is the build target, optional
\c{<environment>} is the build environment name, \c{<classes>} is a
space-separated list of configuration classes that is matched against the
package configuration \c{*-builds} values, optional \c{<tgt-config-arg>} list
is additional configuration options and variables, and optional
\c{<warning-regex>} list is additional regular expressions that should be used
to detect warnings in the logs.

The build target configurations can belong to multiple classes with their
names reflecting some common configuration aspects, such as the operating
system, compiler, build options, etc. Predefined class names are \c{default},
\c{all}, \c{none}, \c{host}, and \c{build2}. The default target configurations
are built by default. A configuration must also belong to the \c{all} unless
it is hidden. A configuration that is self-hosted must also belong to the
\c{host} class and, if it is also self-hosted for build system modules, to the
\c{build2} class. Valid custom class names must contain only alpha-numeric
characters, \c{_}, \c{+}, \c{-}, and \c{.}, except as the first character for
the last three. Class names that start with \c{_} are reserved for the future
hidden/special class functionality.

Regular expressions must start with \c{~}, to be distinguished from target
configuration options and variables. Note that the \c{<tgt-config-arg>} and
\c{<warning-regex>} lists have the same quoting semantics as in the
\c{target-config} and the \c{warning-regex} value in the build task
manifest. The matched machine name, the target, the environment name,
configuration options/variables, and regular expressions are included into the
build task manifest.

Values in the \c{<tgt-config-arg>} list can be opionally prefixed with the
\i{step id} or a leading portion thereof to restrict it to a specific step,
operation, phase, or tool in the \i{worker script} (see \l{#arch-worker Worker
Logic}). The prefix can optionally begin with the \c{+} or \c{-} character (in
this case the argument can be omitted) to enable or disable the respective
step. The steps which can be enabled or disabled are:

\
bpkg.update
bpkg.test
bpkg.test-separate.update
bpkg.test-separate.test

# Disabled if bpkg.bindist.* is enabled.
#
bpkg.install

# Disabled by default.
#
bbot.install.ldconfig

# Disabled by default.
#
bpkg.bindist.{debian,fedora,archive}

# Disabled if bpkg.bindist.* is disabled.
#
bbot.sys-install

# Disabled by default.
#
bbot.sys-install.ldconfig

b.test-installed.test
bpkg.test-separate-installed.update
bpkg.test-separate-installed.test

# Disabled by default.
#
bbot.bindist.upload

bbot.upload
\

Note that the \c{bpkg.bindist.*} steps are mutually exclusive and only the
last step status change via the \c{(+|-)bpkg.bindist.*} prefix is considered.

Unprefixed values only apply to the \c{*.create[_for_*]} steps. Note that
options with values can only be specified using the single argument
notation. For example:

\
bpkg:--fetch-timeout=600                \\
bpkg.configure.fetch:--fetch-timeout=60 \\
+bpkg.bindist.debian:                   \\
b:-j1
\

Note that each machine name is matched against every pattern and all the
patterns that match produce a target configuration. If a machine does not
match any pattern, then it is ignored (meaning that this controller is not
interested in testing its packages with this machine). If multiple machines
match the same pattern, then only a single target configuration using any of
the machines is produced (meaning that this controller considers these
machines equivalent).

As an example, let's say we have a machine named \c{windows_10-vc_14.3}. If we
wanted to test both 32 and 64-bit as well as debug and optimized builds, then
we could have generated the following target configurations:

\
windows*-msvc_14* windows-msvc_14-Z7 i686-microsoft-win32-msvc14.0 \"all default msvc i686 debug\" config.cc.coptions=/Z7 config.cc.loptions=/DEBUG ~\"warning C4\d{3}: \"

windows*-msvc_14* windows-msvc_14-O2 i686-microsoft-win32-msvc14.0 \"all default msvc i686 optimized\" config.cc.coptions=/O2 ~\"warning C4\d{3}: \"

windows*-msvc_14* windows-msvc_14-Z7 x86_64-microsoft-win32-msvc14.0 \"all default msvc x86_64 debug\" config.cc.coptions=/Z7 config.cc.loptions=/DEBUG ~\"warning C4\d{3}: \"

windows*-msvc_14* windows-msvc_14-O2 x86_64-microsoft-win32-msvc14.0 \"all default msvc x86_64 optimized\" config.cc.coptions=/O2 ~\"warning C4\d{3}: \"
\

In the above example we could handle both \c{i686} and \c{x86_64}
architectures with the same machine but this may not always be possible
and we may have to use different machines for different configuration/target
combinations. For example:

\
x86_64_linux_debian_11*-gcc_12.2  linux_debian_11-gcc_12.2 i686-linux-gnu   ...

x86_64_linux_debian_11*-gcc_12.2  linux_debian_11-gcc_12.2 x86_64-linux-gnu ...

aarch64_linux_debian_11*-gcc_12.2 linux_debian_11-gcc_12.2 aarch64-linux-gnu ...
\

As another example, let's say we have \c{linux_fedora_25-gcc_6} and
\c{linux_ubuntu_16.04-gcc_6}. If all we cared about is testing GCC 6 64-bit
builds on Linux, then our target configurations could look like this:

\
linux*-gcc_6 linux-gcc_6-g x86_64-linux-gnu \"all default gcc debug\" config.cc.coptions=-g

linux*-gcc_6 linux-gcc_6-O3 x86_64-linux-gnu \"all default gcc optimized\" config.cc.coptions=-O3
\

A build target configuration class can derive from another class in which case
target configurations that belong to the derived class are treated as also
belonging to the base class (or classes, recursively). The derived and base
class names are separated with \c{:} (no leading or trailing spaces allowed)
and the base must be present in the first mentioning of the derived class. For
example:

\
linux*-gcc_6 linux-gcc_6-g x86_64-linux-gnu \"all gcc-6+ debug\" config.cc.coptions=-g

linux*-gcc_6 linux-gcc_6-O3 x86_64-linux-gnu \"all gcc-6+ optimized\" config.cc.coptions=-O3

linux*-gcc_7 linux-gcc_7-g x86_64-linux-gnu \"all gcc-7+:gcc-6+ debug\" config.cc.coptions=-g

linux*-gcc_7 linux-gcc_7-O3 x86_64-linux-gnu \"all gcc-7+ optimized\" config.cc.coptions=-O3
\

A machine pattern consisting of a single \c{-} is a placeholder
entry. Everything about a placeholder is ignored except for the class
inheritance information. Note, however, that while all other information is
ignored, the configuration name and target must be present but can also be
\c{-}. For example:

\
linux*-gcc_6 linux-gcc_6 x86_64-linux-gnu \"all gcc-6+       \"
-            -           -                \"    gcc-7+:gcc-6+\"
linux*-gcc_8 linux-gcc_8 x86_64-linux-gnu \"all gcc-8+:gcc-7+\"
\

If the \c{<tgt-config-arg>} list contains the \c{config.install.root} variable
that applies to the \c{bpkg.create} step, then in addition to building and
possibly running tests, the \c{bbot} worker will also test installing and
uninstalling each package (unless replaced with the \c{bbot.sys-install}
step). Furthermore, if the package contains subprojects that support the test
operation and/or refers to other packages via the \c{tests}, \c{examples}, or
\c{benchmarks} manifest values which are not excluded by the \c{bbot}
controller, then the worker will additionally build such subprojects/packages
against the installation (created either from source or from the binary
distribution package) and run their tests (test installed and test separate
installed phases).

Two types of installations can be tested: \i{system} and \i{private}. A system
installation uses a well-known location, such as \c{/usr} or \c{/usr/local},
that will be searched by the compiler toolchain by default. A private
installation uses a private directory, such as \c{/opt}, that will have to be
explicitly mentioned to the compiler. While the system installation is usually
preferable, it may not be always usable because of the potential conflicts
with the already installed software, for example, by the system package
manager.

As an example, the following two target configurations could be used to test
system and private installations:

\
linux*-gcc* linux-gcc-sysinstall x86_64-linux-gnu \"all default gcc\" config.install.root=/usr config.install.sudo=sudo

linux*-gcc* linux-gcc-prvinstall x86_64-linux-gnu \"all default gcc\" config.install.root=/tmp/install config.cc.poptions=-I/tmp/install/include config.cc.loptions=-L/tmp/install/lib config.bin.rpath=/tmp/install/lib
\

Note also that while building and running tests against the installation
created either from source or from the archive distribution package the worker
makes the \c{bin} subdirectory of \c{config.install.root} the first entry in
the \c{PATH} environment variable, except for build system modules which
supposedly don't install any executables.

The \c{bbot} controller normally issues the build task by picking an unbuilt
package configuration and one of the produced (via the machine names match)
target configurations, which is not excluded from building due to this package
configuration \c{*-builds}, \c{*-build-include}, and \c{*-build-exclude}
manifest values.
