Package Settings

Package settings

The GLUEX_TOP environment variable is used to set the top-level package directory.

Each package can be configured with a JSON file, located in the $GLUEX_TOP/.hdpm/settings directory.

To remove a non-core package, delete its settings file or use the hdpm rm command.

Package fields:

0. name : string

   • Name of the package.
   • important: Changing the name will have no effect.

1. version : string

   • Version, SVN revision, or Git tag/branch of the package. Use this setting to control which version of the package is fetched/built. For SVN and Git-repository packages, set the version to master to use the most recent revision of the trunk for SVN, or the latest commit on the master branch for Git.

2. url : string

   • URL of the package. If the URL contains the version number of a package, it can be replaced with [VER].

3. path : string

   • Filesystem path of the package. If a relative path is given, it will be joined with the $GLUEX_TOP directory before being used. If the path contains the version number and/or BMS_OSNAME, they can be replaced by [VER] and/or [OS], respectively.

4. cmds : array of strings

   • List of build/configure commands to run for the package, including configuration options and number of threads to use in the build. All of the essential SCons and Make-based builds are supported at this time; However, for cernlib just the 2005 version of the Vogt-64-bit build is supported, and cannot be customized. Setting its commands will have no effect.

5. deps : array of strings

   • List of dependencies to install first.

6. isPrebuilt : boolean

   • Set to true if the package is prebuilt or to disable its build.
