README

        

Hawkey project has been merged inside `libhif `_ project. Development of Hawkey project as alone no longer continues. Use `libhif `_, please.

========
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:

* check-devel
* cmake
* expat-devel
* gcc
* libsolv-devel
* libsolv-tools
* python-devel (or python3-devel for Python 3 build)
* python-nose (or python3-nose for Python 3 build)
* rpm-devel
* zlib-devel

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

Building from a libsolv checkout
================================

Libsolv is checked out at ``/home//libsolv``, build dir is at ``/home//libsolv/build``::

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

Tests
=====

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.

Documentation
=============

See the `hawkey documentation page `_.

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