Build the Framework Packages

This part works on both the 4.X and 5.X branches and, in general, we would only have people download this bit as a set and then use the ISO build below themselves.

Prerequsites

  • Make sure git and mock are installed

  • Your user must be in mock group 
  • Install RVM and ruby 1.9 and 2.1 (but not 1.8 or 2.2)
  • 60G of space in /var/lib/mock
  • The gpg executable must be in the user's path (RHEL/Fedora package: gnupg)

Build SIMP!

  1. Run git clone https://github.com/simp/simp-core

  2. cd into simp-core

  3. Run git checkout 4.2.X

  4. Run bundle

  5. Run rake git:submodules:reset

  6. Cross your fingers

  7. 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

  8. Run rake tar:build[epel-6-x86_64,dev,false] (builds for RHEL6, dev key, no docs)

 

...

The SIMP tarball(s) will be in simp-core/build/DVD_Overlay. There will be one per supported distribution.

Build the ISO

Download all of the required packages for the build.

...

Take your favorite RHEL or CentOS DVD set and place them in some directory somewhere with enough space to hold 3 copies.

  1. cd to the directory holding the ISO images

  2. Create a directory called orig

  3. cd into orig

  4. Run BUNDLE_DIRECTORY=/path/to/simp-core rake -f /path/to/simp-core/Rakefile unpack["/path/to/ISO1"]

    • Repeat this step for any additional ISOs

  5. Run cd ..

  6. Run mkdir 4.2.X

  7. Run cd 4.2.X

  8. Run cp -rl ../orig/*6.6* .

  9. Run 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"]
