Cannot build satellite installer
Last modified: 2007-07-31 15:00:59 EDT
Description of Problem: Running through the installer build process, it errors out at: [root@zealot satmake]# make clean && make && make install python -c "import py_compile; py_compile.compile('__init__.py')" python -c "import py_compile; py_compile.compile('gui.py')" python -c "import py_compile; py_compile.compile('tnsnames.py')" python -c "import py_compile; py_compile.compile('satConfig.py')" python -c "import py_compile; py_compile.compile('translate.py')" python -c "import py_compile; py_compile.compile('satInstall.py')" python -c "import py_compile; py_compile.compile('satInstallErrors.py')" python -c "import py_compile; py_compile.compile('satInstallLog.py')" python -c "import py_compile; py_compile.compile('sslCertGen.py')" python -c "import py_compile; py_compile.compile('checkDB.py')" python -c "import py_compile; py_compile.compile('progress.py')" ERROR: Parent Makefile needs to invoke me for this target make: *** [check-env] Error 255 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): see bug 63780
The current iso build process is that on Zealot.devel.redhat.com I run the following: cd /var/spool/up2date/ rm -f *.rpm rm -f *.hdr rm -f /tmp/installer/RPMS/*.rpm (this to clear out any previous rpms) up2date -d --nosig apache apache-devel mod_perl `up2date --showall --channel=redhat-rhn-satellite-i386-7.2 | sed 's/-[^-]*-[^-]*$//' | grep -v tk` cp *.rpm /tmp/installer/RPMS/ cd /tmp/ rm -rf satmake/ scp -r root@dhcp59-208.rdu.redhat.com:/home/jkomenda/cvs/rhn/satellite/install/ /tmp/satmake/ (this after running a 'cvs up' in my local cvs/rhn/satellite/install/) cd satmake/ make clean && make && make install ================================== Please advise as to how I should modify this process in accord with the changes to /satellite/install/ in cvs.
The process you are using to build an installable image has changed. Basically right now what you need to do is way simper: 1. make sure you have an updated CVS checkout of the rhn tree (rhn/build and rhn/satellite in particular). Use "cvs up -d -P" to make sure 2. cd rhn/satellite 3. make iso From the output of the make file you should get enough detail to figure out where the tree and iso images are. You should be able then to start testing the installer from this new tree...
I updated my cvs and ran 'make iso' from the ~/cvs/rhn/satellite directory. It seemed to run smoothly, however, I have grave doubts about the installer running correctly, as it is only 17M, as opposed to the previous versions, which came in at 55M. Testing the installer on sat-inst.webdev-colo comfirms this: Unresolved rpm dependencies: Package python-popt-0.9.0-4.7.2 conflicts with rpm-python < 4.0.4 Back over to solve the dependencies, updated packages paradox.
Fixed in latest, Closing.
