Introduction
COSMOS Build Overview
The COSMOS build is performed at two linux based machines. One machine performs source code compilation/packaging and another machine performs front-end functions. The build is started from the front-end machine, which initially fetch the build module from CVS and save it at workspace directory on compilation machine. The fetched build module contains various bash/ant scripts to perform the complete build. These bash/ant scripts broadly perform following functions:
1) Fetch plugins/features from CVS
2) Compile the fetched code to .class files
3) Assemble the .class files to .jar file
4) Package the jars as .zipped file
5) Publish the zipped files to COSMOS download page.
Connecting CVS with SSH
These build machines includes an SSH client for accessing a remote CVS server. Different methods can be used to authenticate, depending on the level of functionality and security Authentication methods used by the client by default are, in the following order: public-key, Keyboard-Interactive, and password authentication.
Public-key authentication allows the client to connect to a remote CVS server without sending the password. This is a more secure authentication method than password authentication. Public-key authentication uses two keys, a private key that it should be kept in a secure place and protected with a password. And the public key, is placed on the server, one wish to gain access to.
