======== Hawkey

This is hawkey, library providing simplified C and Python API to libsolv <https://github.com/openSUSE/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/<user>/libsolv, build dir is at /home/<user>/libsolv/build::

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