Presently, there are issues with EPEL expiring packages in our packages.yaml files on the fly. The most recent of these is that python-six was pulled from EPEL and included directly in CentOS 6.7. While this is awesome, it makes getting a consistent build made difficult and we're looking into this issue. If all else fails, add the remote CentOS repos to the build/yum_data/<target_version>/repos directory, then erase the offending RPMs from packages.yaml, to work around this for now. |
Build SIMP!
Make sure you are a normal user and not root!
Clone the master repository and enter it
Code Block language bash $ git clone https://github.com/simp/simp-core $ cd simp-coreCheck which branches are available
Code Block $ git branch -aSwitch to the branch appropriate for the ISO you are building. In this example, we are building for CentOS 6.7, so we run
Code Block language bash $ git checkout 4.2.XInstall the needed gems as described in the Gemfile
Code Block language bash $ gem install bundler $ bundleDownload all the SIMP components
Code Block language bash $ rake git:submodules:resetCross your fingers
If you've never run the build process before, 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 language bash $ rake build:bundleBuild the DVD overlay tarball. Further documentation for the arguments is available in rake (r
ake -D).Code Block language bash $ rake tar:build[epel-6-x86_64,dev,false] (builds for CentOS/RHEL 6, dev key, no docs)
...
Build the ISO
- cd into simp-core
Download all of the required packages for the build:
Code Block language bash $ 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 language bash $ 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 language bash $ 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 language bash $ cd .. $ mkdir 4.2.X $ cd 4.2.X $ cp -rl ../orig/*6.6* .And finally, build the ISO:
Code Block language bash $ 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"]
