Distribution Build System (DBS)

Documentation and software for building linux distributions from a given source package git repository.

There are many ways of creating Linux distributions and it appears that each distribution has its own "secret sauce" for bootstrapping and building the base image and I don't like that.

This project is aimed to allow users to create Linux distributions from scratch regardless of the package system.

Steps for creating a distribution

TODO

Get CentOS dist-git repositories

Get repository metadata

scripts $ ./sync_distgit.sh

Clone Repositories

scripts $ ./distgit_repos.sh clone

Pull Repositories TODO

scripts $ ./distgit_repos.sh pull

Build Pipeline

Build packages in proper order

The core and base package groups should be built before any package in the dist-git.

• Get the core group package list.

~ $ dnf group info core
...

TODO

Build the other packages

TODO: Automate this task

Build Images

TODO: Create pipeline modules for building ISO, qcow and container images
