Hawkey

This is hawkey, library providing simplified C and Python API to libsolv.

Building for Fedora

Packages needed for the build, or the build requires:

From the checkout dir:

mkdir build
cd build/
cmake .. # add '-DPYTHON_DESIRED="3"' option for Python 3 build
make

Building the documentation, from the build/ directory:

make doc

Libsolv is checked out at /home/<user>/libsolv, build dir is at /home/<user>/libsolv/build:

mkdir build
cd build/
cmake -D LIBSOLV_PATH="/home/<user>/libsolv/" ..
make

All unit tests should pass after the build finishes, from the hawkey checkout:

cd build/tests
make tests

There are two parts of unit tests: unit tests in C and unit tests in Python. To run the C part of the tests manually, from hawkey checkout:

build/tests/test_main tests/repos/

Manually executing the Python tests:

PYTHONPATH=`readlink -f ./build/src/python/` nosetests -s tests/python/tests/

The PYTHONPATH is unfortunately needed as the Python test suite needs to know where to import the built hawkey modules.

Information internal to the hawkey development is maintained on a github wiki.
