Introduction

The OpenPOWER Host OS Respository contains the latest and greatest bits for virtualization on Power platform, including kernel, libvirt, qemu, kimchi, SLOF, and other components.

There are also build scripts and test suite.

This document will teach you how to build HostOS packages on your own.

Considerations

The terms HostOS and Host OS (with blank space) are commonly used to refer to the output of open-power-host-os/builds repository, i.e. a set of packages that can be installed on top of the supported GNU/Linux distributions.

Repositories

Just a very brief overview about open-power-host-os/builds and open-power-host-os/versions repositories.

The open-power-host-os/builds repository contains all build scripts used to build HostOS packages.

During the build process, scripts will consume the content of open-power-host-os/versions repository to know where components are located (e.g. URLs) and which versions will be used (e.g. commit ID and branch names).

Bugs and Issues

Bugs and issues regarding build scripts and versions can be reported at https://github.com/open-power-host-os/builds/issues/.

Specific issues of a component can be reported at the Issues page of each repository.
