Thread: How to install the OCS-GUI kit?

Hi,

i am trying to install the OCS Gui kit but it is somehow not working for me.

Code:

[root@master ~]# repoman -l
Repo name:      Repo for centos-5-x86_64
Repository:     /depot/repos/1000
Installers:     10.1.9.70;172.20.0.1
Ostype:         centos-5-x86_64
Kits:           base 0.1 noarch, centos 5 x86_64

[root@master ~]# repoman -r 'Repo for centos-5-x86_64' -a -k 'OCS-GUI'
Kit: OCS-GUI, version 5.1, architecture noarch, is not compatible with repo: Repo for centos-5-x86_64. Not added.

How am I supposed to add the kit?

At least I cannot understand the following:

Code:

[root@master ~]# kitops -l
The following Kits have been installed:
 'base-0.1-noarch'
 'centos-5-x86_64'
 'OCS-GUI-5.1-noarch'
 'lava-1.0-noarch'

so it seems like lava (which I build myself from SVN) and OCS-GUI are noarch.

But the one noarch package is accepted by repoman and the other ist not?

Code:

[root@master ~]# repoman -r "Repo for centos-5-x86_64" -a -k lava
Kit: lava, version 1.0, architecture noarch, has been added to repo: Repo for centos-5-x86_64.  Remember to refresh with -u
[root@master ~]# repoman -r "Repo for centos-5-x86_64" -a -k OCS-GUI
Kit: OCS-GUI, version 5.1, architecture noarch, is not compatible with repo: Repo for centos-5-x86_64. Not added.

Hm, I must be doing something wrong any hints appreciated.

Hi,
What is the exact version of OCS/Kusu you are trying to get the OCS-GUI kit installed in? ( the output of cat /etc/kusu-release )
Also could you just take a look at kusu.log - /var/log/kusu/kusu.log and paste relevant bits if any?

This info will certainly help getting to the bottom of this!

thanks for looking into it.

I have been running Kusu-0.8_devel.centos-5.1.x86_64.iso I am installing kusu-0.10-20081006-3510.centos-5.x86_64.iso right now.

It seems quiet a few things in repoman have changed recently. Having a shortlook at the diff it seemed like the whole architecture part changed.

Hi,

I looked further into the OCS-GUI kit and it appears that it may not exactly 'noarch' as indicated in the ISO. However, I see no reason it should not work with centos at this point.

As a manual workaround , as you are using centos 5.1 64bit you can try to run the following command before you attempt to add the centos kit to the repository.
The command adds a line to the compoenents table that marks the OCS GUI kit as compatible to centos.

Code:

# sqlrunner  -q"insert into components set  cname='component-OCS-GUI' ,  cdesc='component for installing OCS GUI' ,  kid = (select kid from kits where rname ='OCS-GUI' and version='5.1')  , os = 'centos-5-x86_64'"

Do let me know if it works!

OK just for the record the noarch iso contains the following files:

Code:

./OCS-GUI
./OCS-GUI/component-OCS-GUI-5.1-4.x86_64.rpm
./OCS-GUI/kit-OCS-GUI-5.1-5.noarch.rpm
./OCS-GUI/ocsgui-connectors-5.1-1.x86_64.rpm
./OCS-GUI/ocs-gui-2.0.0-080916.x86_64.rpm
./OCS-GUI/TRANS.TBL
./TRANS.TBL

I wiped my 0.8 install yesterday.
The installation of kusu-0.10-20081006-3510.centos-5.x86_64.iso did not work (failed with cannot open /tmp/kusu/kusu-ks.cfg...) therefore i am now using r3520 which seems to work...

Great. Let us know if you have any other problems.

Ok I got it installed on 0.10-r3520.

Code:

[root@master noarch]# kitops -l

Then I was able to add the packages to the depot with repoman:

Code:

[root@master noarch]# find /depot/kits/OCS-GUI/
/depot/kits/OCS-GUI/
/depot/kits/OCS-GUI/5.1
/depot/kits/OCS-GUI/5.1/noarch
/depot/kits/OCS-GUI/5.1/noarch/kit-OCS-GUI-5.1-5.noarch.rpm
/depot/kits/OCS-GUI/5.1/noarch/ocsgui-connectors-5.1-1.x86_64.rpm
/depot/kits/OCS-GUI/5.1/noarch/component-OCS-GUI-5.1-4.x86_64.rpm
/depot/kits/OCS-GUI/5.1/noarch/ocs-gui-2.0.0-080916.x86_64.rpm

As the packages did not associate themself to any node i wanted to do that myself with ngedit.

But sadly the OCS-GUI kit is not listed on the Components page of ngedit. How am I supposed to associate my nodes with OCS-GUI?

Ok installing the packages by hand helped and the Console seems to be working at least I can login. The Submit pages still just show exceptions but let's see.

Where is the right place to comment on this kit? Looking at the RPM I allready found several flaws in my opinion:

/usr/share/pmc/2.0/shared/yui/examples has 11MB worth of you examples ...

/usr/share/pmc/2.0/tomcat/webapps/{jsp-examples,tomcat-docs,servlets-examples} are they really needed?

There are 16 Thumbs.db files which are certainly not needed.

Otherwise I am impressed and the GUI looks really promissing.

Thanks for the feedback. I will inform the Kit creator.

As for the missing components, can you list out the components for the GUI kit in the database?

Code:

sqlrunner  -q "select * from components where kid = (select kid from kits where rname ='OCS-GUI' and version='5.1'")
