This repository contains the Dockerfile used to create a Docker image capable of building Sherpa conda packages for compatibility with CentOS 5 systems.
The repository is linked to a Docker Hub repository and images are built automatically at each commit.
This is not a supported product, but an effort to help those Sherpa users who need back-porting Sherpa on an unsupported platform.
At this point the only platform supported is CentOS 5.
This repo also contains conda recipes for the 4.9.1 build, which could be edited to build future versions of Sherpa. Alternatively, you can pass the container the path to a custom conda recipe which will be built instead.
There is no guarantee that future versions of Sherpa can be built on these Docker images without additional changes.
On a system with Docker installed, to build the default package use
(assuming a bash shell):
$ git clone https://github.com/sherpa/legacy-builds
$ cd legacy-builds
$ docker run -v $(pwd):/opt/project sherpadev/legacy-builds
The latest tag points to the latest build from the master branch. Additionally,
tags are provided for each individual platform being targeted.
The only tag currently available is centos5.
The output of the build will be copied inside the /opt/project/output folder, so
in order to fetch it you need to bind the /opt/project volume to a local folder.
By default the container will look for a conda recipe in /opt/project/recipes/sherpa.conda.
The easiest way to customize the build is to simply edit the recipe in that folder.
Alternatively you can override the default path, as long as the recipe is inside the volume. For instance,
assuming the local folder /home/user/sherpa-recipes contains a recipe in the sherpa-4.9.1 subfolder,
you can:
$ cd /home/user/sherpa-recipes
$ docker run -v $(pwd):/opt/project sherpadev/legacy-builds /opt/project/sherpa-4.9.1
The resulting conda package will be created in /home/user/sherpa-recipes/output.
