For example, you might want to do any system setup (such +as installing packages) and also fetch all sources to cache them when building +your CI image: + +```sh +$ ./cerbero-uninstalled fetch-bootstrap +$ ./cerbero-uninstalled fetch-package gstreamer-1.0 +# This will use "sudo" +$ ./cerbero-uninstalled bootstrap --system=yes --toolchains=no --build-tools=no --offline +``` + +Then inside your CI job, you will not need root for the remaining steps: + +```sh +$ ./cerbero-uninstalled bootstrap --system=no --toolchains=yes --build-tools=yes --offline +# When building a non-tagged commit, this will update the git repos for all gstreamer recipes +$ ./cerbero-uninstalled fetch-package gstreamer-1.0 +$ ./cerbero-uninstalled package gstreamer-1.0 --offline +``` + +For more inspiration, see [GStreamer's GitLab CI setup](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-ci). + ## Enabling Optional Features with Variants Cerbero controls optional and platform-specific features with `variants`.
