Scripts for Continous Integration with Gitlab

This directory contains scripts that are used by our continuous integration (CI) builds. There are various sets of scripts named as follows:

  • before_<stage>.sh
  • <stage>.sh
  • after_<stage>.sh

Each of these sets correpond to one of the build stages inside the CI builds.

The script install.sh contains a basic set of routines to install and update the scripts on the target host. If you add more scripts, it is sensible to add those in there.

The script functions.sh contains a set of functions that are shared between all scripts. All scripts source functions.sh before anything is done. functions.sh also set important local and global (export) variables that are required by the build system.

Before changing any script, try to understand the role of each of the stages by looking at our template CI yaml files (in the directory ../templates) and then how to use the functions declared in functions.sh.
