Thread: Kitops issue

I have built a kit for libiodbc-3.52.5-1.i386.rpm with buildkit under /

I am using 0.6_devel version of kusu.

Following is the structure of my libiodbc directory under /
---------------------------------------------------------------
[root@alexander205 libiodbc]# ll
total 912
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 1024 Apr 30 07:54 artifacts

drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 1024 Apr 30 07:54 tmp

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Now i am trying to add the kit using kitops. i get the following error

No kits found. Nothing to do.

I have tried the following combinations for kitops:

----------------------------------------------------------------

[root@alexander205 /]# kitops -a -m /libiodbc/kit-libiodbc-0.1-0.x86.iso
No kits found. Nothing to do.
[root@alexander205 /]# kitops -a -m /libiodbc/
No kits found. Nothing to do.
[root@alexander205 ~]# kitops -a -m /libiodbc/kit-libiodbc-0.1-0.x86.iso --kitname=libiodbc --kitversion=1.0 --kitarch=x86
No kits found. Nothing to do.
[root@alexander205 ~]# kitops --add -m /libiodbc/kit-libiodbc-0.1-0.x86.iso
No kits found. Nothing to do.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

All combinations give the same error.

Can someone please help.

Hello,

You only need this command:

Code:

[root@alexander205 /]# kitops -a -m /libiodbc/kit-libiodbc-0.1-0.x86.iso

Can you take a look inside the ISO? We are expecting a subdirectory which then contains a kit RPM. Something like this:

Code:

# mkdir /tmp/libiodbc
# mount -o loop /libiodbc/kit-libiodbc-0.1-0.x86.iso /tmp/libiodbc
# ls /tmp/libiodbc
libiodbc
# ls /tmp/libiodbc/libiodbc
kit-libiodbc-0.1-0.x86.rpm
[other RPMs]

If the contents of /tmp/libiodbc are any different make sure mkisofs is installed correctly on the system building the kit.

Also you should have a look at /libiodbc/artifacts/packages/RPMS/x86 and make sure you have a kit RPM, a package that looks like kit-<name>-<version>-<release>.<arch>.rpm

yes you are right.... i have the same directory structure as you have mentioned in your comment.

My structure looks like below:

---------------------------------------------------------------------

[root@alexander205 libiodbc]# pwd
/libiodbc
[root@alexander205 libiodbc]# ll tmp2/libiodbc/

[root@alexander205 libiodbc]#
------------------------------------------------------------------------

the kit rpm is not present. only a basic rpm exists.

how do i ensure that mkisofs is installed correctly?

Hi

for mksiofs, you can use yum to install it:
yum install mkisofs

If your ISO looks ok, mkisofs is doing installed properly and doing its job.

This is the problem. kitops looks for the kit RPM in order to determine information about the kit.

mkisofs is correctly installed on my system. I rechecked that.

Regarding the above quote i donot have any x86 directory under the path
/libiodbc/artifacts/packages/RPMS/

So now i have the rpm istalled correctly and directory doesnot exist. So can you suggest something....

Sorry, I meant /libiodbc/artifacts/packages/RPMS/i386 (or x86_64, depending on your arch).

Basically, make sure that somewhere in the artifacts/ subdirectory tree there is a kit RPM. Without a kit RPM kitops will not be able to determine that this is a kit.

If your kit RPM is not getting generated, make sure that your build.kit file is correct and that buildkit is not reporting any errors.

Hello Mike,

I will put down the entire sequence of operations that i am doing in a while so that it gives you a brief idea about the problem

You were right... i changed the parameter k.arch in build.kit file from 'x86' to 'i386' and the kit got generated successfully and i have addded it in the repository as well...

Thanks a lot for your help.
