The Design and Practice of the OpenKylin Build and Management System

The Linux-based desktop operating systems now dominate China's Market of Information Technology Application Innovation, as well as the kernel drivers and application companions. All of them can be arranged as software packages, such as Linux kernels, system configurations, core dynamic libraries. Building such a sophisticated and dynamic ecosystem urges for a clear and pipelined architecture of the build system. In this paper we elaborate our design and practice of the openKylin build and management system, including a property-extended modular package management system, an incremental upgrading and updating scheme, a remote maintenance system, and an enhanced modular code management system. The deployment results show that the openKylin build system has coherent procedure.
