Packaging Tools Scripts

Packaging operations are executed using a collection of Python scripts stored in the tools repository. These scripts are written in Python and require Python 3.8 or higher. They have been tested on Ubuntu focal.

Whenever a change is made, a tag is added to the commit and pushed to the repository. The tag follows the v<major_version>.<minor_version>.<patch_version> format. The scripts are primarily utilized within GH Actions pipelines, where the corresponding tag is used.

The following scripts are employed for packaging purposes:

Tools Scripts

We utilize specific Python scripts to perform packaging operations. These scripts can be found at https://github.com/citusdata/tools.

For each change, we create a new tag for the latest release and incorporate that tag into the pipelines.

Packaging Scripts

The following provides an overview of the scripts used within the pipelines to execute various packaging operations:

  • citus_package: This is the main script responsible for building the packages.

  • update_docker: This script generates Citus Docker images for end users.

  • upload_to_package_cloud: Publishes the packages created by citus_package to Package Cloud.

  • publish_docker: Publishes the Docker images created by the update_docker script.

  • delete_packages_on_package_cloud: Removes nightly packages older than 10 days from Package Cloud to reduce repository size and lower Package Cloud bills.
