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
rpm-sign # not necessary on EL6/EL7
gnupg # "gnupg2" on EL6/EL7
genisoimage
- 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 (Fedora package:gnupg, EL package: gnupg2)
Build SIMP!
Clone the master repository and enter it
Code Block $ git clone https://github.com/simp/simp-core $ cd 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 $ 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 the following to make sure you have all of the bundles you need for all of the submodules in this project
Code Block $ rake build:bundle
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>]
If you have previously downloaded packages from yum, you may need to run
Code Block $ rake build:yum:clean_cache
- 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_GEMFILE=/path/to/simp-core/Gemfile rake -f /path/to/simp-core/Rakefile unpack["/path/to/ISO1"]
- Repeat the rake task for any additional ISOs
Make a new directory for your custom ISO build and copy the contents of the extracted ISOs
Code Block $ cd .. $ mkdir 4.2.X $ cd 4.2.X $ cp -rl ../orig/*6.6* .
And finally, build the ISO:
Code Block $ BUNDLE_GEMFILE=/path/to/simp-core/Gemfile rake -f /path/to/simp-core/Rakefile iso:build["/path/to/simp-core/build/DVD_Overlay/<appropriate>.tar.gz"]
