About jeteve-omniorb

This is a standard python wheel packaging OmniORB/OmniORBpy for easy use from python projects.

See original software here: https://omniorb.sourceforge.io/

Installation

This installs like a standard pypi package.

See https://pypi.org/project/jeteve-omniorb

Why jeteve_omniorb

• Just install a Python package, no more special OmniORB compilation on your platform.
• Packages latest stable OmniORB.
• Batteries included. Get started with OmniORB examples right after installation. See example/ and/or https://omniorb.sourceforge.io/omnipy43/omniORBpy.
• Support for legacy glibc 2.17+ because we don't all have new shiny OSes.
• CI Tested Support for python from 3.8 to 3.14.
• Stable OmniOrb versions Automatically tested using omniorb's examples.
• Tested to work with uvx if you want to just run omniidl or omniNames.
• cute emojis in shell scripts.

Batteries included

We aim at supporting the full Python example from omniorb out of the box:

https://omniorb.sourceforge.io/omnipy43/omniORBpy/omniORBpy002.html#sec10

In particular, that means that this packages the binary omnicpp (OmniORBs take on a C Preprocessor) coming from the C/C++ OmniORB library.

This is tested as part of the building process.

How to build

Run build-wheels.sh You only need docker

Version management

For now this is manual. Don't forget to update pyproject.toml.m4

Development principles

Everything happens in the provided Docker images.

It is based on manylinux2014_x86_64 (from project https://github.com/pypa/manylinux) for maximum compatibility with glibc 2.17.

Other architectures will come later. Maybe.

Dev notes - Building and testing a specific version:

Build:

docker run -t -e HOME=/workdir -u $(id -u):$(id -g) --rm -v $(pwd):/workdir $(cat .docker-image-id) bash /workdir/inside-build-wheels.sh "cp312" "4.2.6"

Test:

docker run -t -e HOME=/workdir -u $(id -u):$(id -g) --rm -v $(pwd):/workdir $(cat .docker-image-id) bash /workdir/inside-test-wheels.sh "3.12" "4.2.6"

Dev notes - how to upload

1. Check all wheels with twine (using uvx is recommended)

uvx twine check wheelhouse/*

2. Upload to test repo

uvx twine upload --repository testpypi wheelhouse/*

3. Check you can download and execute uvx -n -p 3.13 --from "jeteve_omniorb~=4.3.3" --index-url https://test.pypi.org/simple/ omnicpp -h uvx -n -p 3.12 --from "jeteve_omniorb~=4.3.3" --index-url https://test.pypi.org/simple/ omnicpp -h uvx -n -p 3.11 --from "jeteve_omniorb~=4.3.3" --index-url https://test.pypi.org/simple/ omnicpp -h uvx -n -p 3.10 --from "jeteve_omniorb~=4.3.3" --index-url https://test.pypi.org/simple/ omnicpp -h
