Helm
Helm[1] is the package manager for Kubernetes.
It is used to build Helm charts, which are packages of Kubernetes resources that are used to deploy apps to a cluster.
For deployment it is called via helmfile[2] in combination with helm-diff[3] to present the to be applied changes to the user.
Packaging
We're providing separate packages for operations/debs/helm (helm 2.x) and operations/debs/helm3, both may be installed at the same time.
The packages operations/debs/helmfile and operations/debs/helm-diff follow the same packaging workflow, so we document that here together.
Importing a new version
The packages are build using Git-buildpackage. The imported upstream tarballs should include the complete vendor directory.
- Check out the version (git tag) to import
./debian/repack "vX.Y.Z"
- This drops you into a shell with the git tag checked out. Do necessary changes here and commit
glide install --strip-vendor # or go mod vendor git add -f vendor # git diff --name-status --cached | grep -v 'vendor/' # to make sure you only changed vendor git commit -m "added vendor"
- Exiting the shell will build a tarball to import
gbp import-orig /path/to/tarball.tar.xz
- Push changes (including the tag crated by gpb) to gerrit
git push gerrit --all git push gerrit --tags
- Add a debian/changelog entry (as CR)
gbp dch # Edit debian/changelog git commit git review
Building a new version
- Check out the git repo on the build host
- Build the package
BACKPORTS=yes gbp buildpackage --git-pbuilder --git-no-pbuilder-autoconf --git-dist=buster -sa -uc -us
Publish a new version
# on apt1001
rsync -vaz deneb.codfw.wmnet::pbuilder-result/buster-amd64/*<PACKAGE VERSION>* .
sudo -i reprepro -C main include buster-wikimedia /path/to/<PACKAGE>.changes
# Copy the package over to other distros (this is possible because they only contain static binaries)
sudo -i reprepro copy stretch-wikimedia buster-wikimedia <PACKAGE>
sudo -i reprepro copy jessie-wikimedia buster-wikimedia <PACKAGE>
