This document provides instructions for contributing to Ocean's new GitLab project.
Contributing to the Ocean project can be broken down into these high-level steps.
- Obtain the Ocean Docker Image
- Launch a container using the Ocean Docker image
- Clone the Ocean sources
- Make your source modifications
- Test your changes, locally
- Submit your changes for review via a merge-request
- Verify that your Merge Request Passes GitLab CI
- Update your Merge Request (if needed)
- Merge your changes
To follow this guide, you will need:
- Access to Docker
- Permission to make merge requests to CEA's GitLab Forge Ocean project
- Permission to push sources to the S3 staging annex (via
rift annex push)
Fetch the image tarball and load it into Docker using the following commands.
$> wget -q https://france.paratools.com/tarballs/ocean-container-latest.tgz
$> docker load --input ocean-container-latest.tgz
Loaded image: ocean-container:latest
$> docker images | grep ocean-container
REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED SIZE
ocean-container latest 81339e29b027 4 days ago 15.4GB
Once you've obtained the Ocean docker image, here is how you use it to launch a container.
You must use the flags shown below when launching the container in order to take advantage of certain Rift features.
$> docker run -it --privileged --device /dev/kvm --name ocean ocean-container:latest
[root@85763b49a628 ~]# rift --version
rift 0.12
[root@85763b49a628 ~]# cat /etc/os-release
NAME="Fedora Linux"
VERSION="39 (Container Image)"
ID=fedora
VERSION_ID=39
VERSION_CODENAME=""
PLATFORM_ID="platform:f39"
PRETTY_NAME="Fedora Linux 39 (Container Image)"
In this example we use a Personal Access Token (PAT) to clone the Ocean sources.
To obtain a PAT, see the instructions here:
$> docker run -it --privileged --device /dev/kvm --name ocean ocean-container:latest
[root@85763b49a628 ~]# TOKEN_NAME=...
[root@85763b49a628 ~]# TOKEN_VALUE=...

[root@498abeb8f3f3 ocean]# git branch

We will work towards an example merge-request where the rubygem-text version used in Ocean's master branch is downgraded from v1.3.1 to v1.3.0.
The first step is to create a branch to store our changes.
[root@498abeb8f3f3 ocean]# git checkout -b rubygem-text-downgrade-v1.3.0
[root@498abeb8f3f3 ocean]# git branch
master
* rubygem-text-downgrade-v1.3.0
The overall diff will look like this:
[root@498abeb8f3f3 ocean]# git diff

The following changes are made:
- packages/rubygem-text/rubygem-text.spec: version changed to v1.3.0, changelog updated
- packages/rubygem-text/sources/text-1.3.1.gem: deleted
- packages/rubygem-text/sources/text-1.3.1.gem: added
To properly add the v1.3.0 sources, we have to download the v1.3.0 gemfile and put it in packages/rubygem-text/sources.
[root@498abeb8f3f3 ocean]# wget -q https://rubygems.org/downloads/text-1.3.0.gem -P packages/rubygem-text/sources
[root@498abeb8f3f3 ocean]# du -sh packages/rubygem-text/sources/text-1.3.0.gem
136K packages/rubygem-text/sources/text-1.3.0.gem
The sources for v1.3.0 need to be pushed to the Rift staging annex before the commit is made. This way, the actual source contents themselves are not committed to the Ocean repo.
[root@498abeb8f3f3 ocean]# rift annex push packages/rubygem-text/sources/text-1.3.0.gem
Username [root]: YOUR-USERNAME
Password:
> packages/rubygem-text/sources/text-1.3.0.gem: moved and replaced
Now that the v1.3.0 sources are uploaded, the contents of the gemfile contains onlythe hash of the sources.
[root@498abeb8f3f3 ocean]# echo $(cat packages/rubygem-text/sources/text-1.3.0.gem)
d5ca93bcf591d60eb4fb3dcd09db1391
In order for your changes to ultimately be accepted to Ocean, the GitLab CI for Ocean requires they pass both "RPM Lint" and "Validate Diff" jobs.
You can ensure your changes pass these tests by running them locally, prior to submitting your merge request.
We can run the RPM Linter on our changes just as it will be run as part of the automated GitLab CI like this:
[root@498abeb8f3f3 ocean]# git --no-pager diff | rift gitlab -
0 packages and 1 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 0 warnings.
[root@498abeb8f3f3 ocean]# echo $?
0
If the RPM Lint test passes, you can run the "Validate Diff" tests locally just as it will be run as part of automated GitLab CI like this:
[root@498abeb8f3f3 ocean]# git --no-pager diff | rift validdiff -

Navigate to this URL in your web browser to submit the pull request.
When submitting the pull request, be careful to select the correct target branch which you are requesting your changes be merged in to. For this example, we are targetting our changes to the default branch, master branch. If you need to target a different branch, click "Change branches". See the screenshot below.
Once submitted, GitLab will automatically test your merge-request as part of CI.
Initially, the merge request will look something like this:
Note where it says "Merge request pipeline #651 running."
Click the pipeline number to view your merge-request's CI pipeline.
In the screenshot here we see that the RPM Lint job has passed and that the Validate Diff job is running.
Click on a job to view its logs.
Once the Validate Diff job completes, its output should match what was seen when the test was run locally prior to submitting the merge-request:
Any additional commits pushed to your merge-request branch will cause CI to re-run.
You can merge your changes to the target branch once CI passes and the appropriate number of reviewers have approved it.
