Build the Framework Packages
Prerequisites
Complete installation media for your chosen distribution
- If there is more than one disc, you will need all of them
Make sure the following packages are installed and up to date:
git
mock
ClamAV, or whatever includes freshclam (on Fedora, the package is called clamav-update)
createrepo
- Install RVM and
ruby
1.9 and 2.1 (but not 1.8 or 2.2) Your user must be in
mock
groupTo add a user to that group, use this command as root:
usermod -a -G mock [User name] && newgrp mock
- 60G of space in /var/lib/mock
- The
gpg
executable must be in the user's path (RHEL/Fedora package:gnupg)
Build SIMP!
Clone the master repository
Code Block $ git clone https://github.com/simp/simp-core
Switch to the branch appropriate for the ISO you are building. In this example, we are building for CentOS 6.6, so we run
Code Block $ cd simp-core $ git checkout 4.2.X
Install the needed gems as described in the Gemfile
Code Block $ gem install bundler $ bundle
Download all the SIMP components
Code Block $ rake git:submodules:reset
Cross your fingers
You may need to run a for loop to find Gemfiles and run 'bundle' wherever they are at this point, we have a task on the backlog to fix this
Build the DVD overlay tarball. Further documentation for the arguments is available in rake.
Code Block $ rake tar:build[epel-6-x86_64,dev,false] (builds for RHEL6, dev key, no docs)
Build the ISO
- cd into simp-core
Download all of the required packages for the build:
Code Block $ rake build:yum:sync[<CentOS or RHEL>,<os_version>,<simp_version>,<architecture>]
- Optionally, you may drop in custom packages you wish to have available during an install into
build/yum_data/SIMP<simp_version>_<CentOS or RHEL><os_version>_<architecture>/packages
- Take your favorite RHEL or CentOS DVD set and place them in some directory somewhere with enough space to hold 3 copies.
- cd to the directory holding the ISO images
Unpack the ISOs
Code Block $ mkdir orig $ cd orig $ BUNDLE_DIRECTORY=/path/to/simp-core rake -f /path/to/simp-core/Rakefile unpack["/path/to/ISO1"]
- Repeat the rake task for any additional ISOs
Copy the contents of the extracted ISOs to the build directory:
Code Block $ cd .. $ mkdir 4.2.X $ cd 4.2.X $ cp -rl ../orig/*6.6* .
And finally, build the ISO:
Code Block $ BUNDLE_DIRECTORY=/path/to/simp-core rake -f /path/to/simp-core/Rakefile iso:build["/path/to/simp-core/build/DVD_Overlay/<appropriate>.tar.gz"]
(At this time, we have some repoclosure issues that we need to work through so the ISO may not build)
