Introduction

conduct is a build system that is intended to be used as a standalone script (conduct.py) or in conjunction with some load balancer (e.g. via Jenkins).

The idea is to checkout/install conduct to some system, give it a build chain config and the necessary parameters, and everything else shall be done automatically. That means:

• Bootstrapping of necessary tools
• Configuring necessary tools
• Building by using the given chain config and parameters
• Cleanup after the build
• Rollback the boostrapped packages (if desired)

Basically, conduct’s goals are:

• easy to configure the build process
• easy to use the build process
• easy to extend for special needs
• consistent logging
• automatic boostrapping
• great selection of standard build steps
