Build an [Open Network Install Environment (ONIE)](https://github.com/opencomputeproject/onie) compatiable network operating system (NOS) installer image for network switches, and also build docker images running inside the NOS.
You can find rules/config file useful. It contains configuration options for build process, like adding more verbosity or showing dependencies, username and password for base image etc.
Every docker image is built and saved to target/ directory.
So, for instance, to build only docker-database, execute
make target/docker-database.gz
Same goes for debian packages, which are under target/debs/:
make target/debs/swss_1.0.0_amd64.deb
Every target has a clean target, so in order to clean swss, execute
It is recommended to use clean targets to clean all packages, that are built together, like dev packages for instance. In order to be more familiar with build process and make some changes to it, it is recommended to read this short [Documentation](README.buildsystem.md).
We're following basic GitHub Flow. If you have no idea what we're talking about, check out [GitHub's official guide](https://guides.github.com/introduction/flow/). Note that merge is only performed by the repository maintainer.
Guide for performing commits:
* Isolate each commit to one component/bugfix/issue/feature
* Use a standard commit message format:
> [component/folder touched]: Description intent of your changes
>
> [List of changes]
>
> Signed-off-by: Your Name your@email.com
For example:
> swss-common: Stabilize the ConsumerTable
>
> * Fixing autoreconf
> * Fixing unit-tests by adding checkers and initialize the DB before start
> * Adding the ability to select from multiple channels
> * Health-Monitor - The idea of the patch is that if something went wrong with the notification channel,
> we will have the option to know about it (Query the LLEN table length).
>
> Signed-off-by: user@dev.null
