This document describes how to build Scylla's packages for supported Linux distributions.
The build system generates relocatable packages, which means that the packages contain all the dependencies they need, and you can, therefore, install and run the same binaries on all Linux distributions.
The packages are built using Scylla's dbuild tool, which builds the packages in a Docker container.
To build a tarball, which contains the full Scylla server, run (remember to substitute <mode> with, for example, release):
./tools/toolchain/dbuild ./reloc/build_reloc.sh --mode <mode>
This step generates the following tarball:
build/<mode>/scylla-package.tar.gz
You can then generate RPM packages with:
./tools/toolchain/dbuild ./reloc/build_rpm.sh --reloc-pkg build/<mode>/scylla-package.tar.gz
This step generates the following RPM packages:
build/redhat/RPMS/x86_64/scylla-666.development-0.20190807.7d0c99e268.x86_64.rpm
build/redhat/RPMS/x86_64/scylla-server-666.development-0.20190807.7d0c99e268.x86_64.rpm
build/redhat/RPMS/x86_64/scylla-debuginfo-666.development-0.20190807.7d0c99e268.x86_64.rpm
build/redhat/RPMS/x86_64/scylla-conf-666.development-0.20190807.7d0c99e268.x86_64.rpm
build/redhat/RPMS/x86_64/scylla-kernel-conf-666.development-0.20190807.7d0c99e268.x86_64.rpm
You can also generate deb packages with:
./tools/toolchain/dbuild ./reloc/build_deb.sh --reloc-pkg build/debug/scylla-package.tar.gz
This step generates the following deb packages:
build/debian/scylla-server-dbg_666.development-0.20190807.7d0c99e268-1_amd64.deb
build/debian/scylla-conf_666.development-0.20190807.7d0c99e268-1_amd64.deb
build/debian/scylla-kernel-conf_666.development-0.20190807.7d0c99e268-1_amd64.deb
build/debian/scylla-server_666.development-0.20190807.7d0c99e268-1_amd64.deb
build/debian/scylla_666.development-0.20190807.7d0c99e268-1_amd64.deb
To build a tarball, which contains a portable Python interpreter, run:
./tools/toolchain/dbuild ./reloc/python3/build_reloc.sh
This step generates the following tarball:
build/release/scylla-python3-package.tar.gz
You can then generate a RPM package:
./tools/toolchain/dbuild ./reloc/python3/build_rpm.sh
This step generates the following RPM package:
build/redhat/RPMS/x86_64/scylla-python3-3.7.2-0.20190807.689fc72bab.x86_64.rpm
You can also generate a deb package with:
./tools/toolchain/dbuild ./reloc/python3/build_deb.sh
This step generates the following deb package:
build/debian/scylla-python3_3.7.2-0.20190807.689fc72bab-1_amd64.deb
