Description of problem: I have followed installation instructions at https://fedorahosted.org/katello/wiki/Install And I choosed the rpm version. I've experienced failure: # service katello initdb /usr/lib/katello / (in /usr/lib/katello) Could not find rake-0.9.2 in any of the sources Try running `bundle install`. / Let's look over the fact that the output looks messy. It forces me to run: cd /usr/lib/katello bundle install but it forgets to advice me to change the directory. I don't really want to run bundle install on my Fedora box. On a Fedora default package manager is RPM. Not a gem. For example, I don't see a reason why should I want to install sqlite3 from rubygem when there is an rpm for Fedora. Compare: sqlite3-1.3.3.gem rubygem-sqlite3-1.3.3-3.fc14.x86_64.rpm The most powerful thing of today linuxes was, that they use centralized software management tool. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): katello-0.1.49-1.git.394.97e6a5d.fc14.noarch How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. follow installation instruction 2. 3. Actual results: End up with installed software, which is not managed by rpm. Expected results: All the installed software should be managed by Rpm. This is how we do it in Fedora. Additional info:
Working on cleaning a good portion of the above so you don't have to ever run 'bundle install' after installing the RPM.
Our SPEC precompiles our CSS files and assets using compass and jammit tools: %build echo Compiling SASS files... compass compile echo Generating Rails assets... jammit Therefore both bugs should be resolved. Please note due to bug in rack 1.1.0 the katello service is not working. The only way to start it until we fix this is: # cd /usr/lib/katello # su - katello -s /bin/bash -c "rails s -e production -p 3000" commit ca97d9ad2fd90d7ab6235c83cc734b13503f171d Author: Lukas Zapletal <lzap+git> Date: Wed Jul 27 13:56:04 2011 +0200 production.rb now symlinked to /etc/katello/environment.rb commit be8cf50ae0c0ab465de759b824404a4fda5226d2 Author: Lukas Zapletal <lzap+git> Date: Wed Jul 27 11:10:52 2011 +0200 725793 - Permission denied stylesheets/fancyqueries.css commit dd11eee1eadc6b3ce1ab8345395d566ef8436715 Author: Lukas Zapletal <lzap+git> Date: Wed Jul 27 11:04:07 2011 +0200 725901 - Permission errors in RPM Do not attempt to recompile SASS files in the production mode. We are going to precompile it during the RPM build process. The /usr/lib/katello/public wont be symlinked into the /var/lib/katello anymore.
This has been working for me. Verified, katello-0.1.84-1.git.26.51fa1e1.fc14.noarch
