minimal docker setup for texlive and Julia

minimal docker setup for texlive and Julia

This repository has been archived since we no longer need it for testing PGFPlotsX.

For testing Julia packages that rely on TeXLive. It was written primarily for PGFPlotsX.jl, may be useful for other Julia projects that have extensive binary dependencies (with modifications, of course, you need to edit the Dockerfile).

Usage

Call docker as something like

docker run -ti -a STDOUT -a STDIN -a STDERR -v .:/mnt texlive-julia-minimal /mnt/test-script.sh 1

ie

1. the source for the package is mounted at /mnt in the container (this is hardcoded into the scripts)

2. 1 is the version (see files/install-julia.sh for alternatives).

   This installs Julia, with the binary located at

   /test/julia-$JULIAVER/bin/julia

3. test-script.sh comes from your repository.

What's in the image

1. a minimal TeXLive distribution

2. script files/install-julia.sh to install Julia from official binaries

Local scripts

Scripts for building, generation and deployment are in local/. See their documentation there. Some paths are hardcoded for my own machine.

Files for populating the repo

See their documentation.

Updating versions

1. Minor versions of Julia need to be updated manually for each release in files/install-julia.sh.

2. New Ubuntu releases should be updated in the Dockerfile.

For either, just make a trivial pull request, and it will be merged once CI completes.

texlive-julia-minimal-docker's Issues

copy back coverage information after build is complete

It will be in the relevant Pkg.dir(), should end up in /mnt.

facelift

• consider using install-julia for installation
• once 1.2 is released, make sure it works
• use Docker's standard deployment mechanism from Github

support for the 1 version scheme (latest release)

cf KristofferC/PGFPlotsX.jl#241

update to Ubuntu 18.04 when that is released

Other tasks (feel free to add in comments and I will incorporate here):

• add latexmk

normalize version

v0.6, stable are the same; so are v0.7 and nightly.

• binaries and
• downloaded images

should be selected accordingly.

minor fixes for next iteration

Fix these when updating the framework next time:

• remove gnuplot, we already have gnuplot-nox, the former just installs a ton of dependencies
• install-julia.sh should just take a version, directory follows from that
• install-julia.sh should check that something is installed, and then skip downloading. this would allow the script not to condition on version, should make v0.7 transition easier
• add rsync, for more robust exporting of .cov files
• do not hardcode the test script into the image, the package being tested should provide that
