Go there and fetch those sources. It should build without asking any questions 
(it does for me).
Hopefully I didn't forgot any Requires: in the spec file.

 To build the rpms, just look for the missing archive names in google and 
 download the archive into /usr./src directory.
 Note that (sadly) you have to be root to build the rpms as the rpm needs 
 mknode if I'm correct and I didn't find time to look at this issue and have 
 the rpm buildable as non-root.

 Although, it would be cool if the source repository could be updated as it's 
 a pain in the ass to google and fetch the correct sources archives and copy 
 those in the /usr/src directory.

I've made a bit of progress towards building the SI RPMs on an RHEL6.2
server, but I didn't make it to the goal yet:

1. I copied the downloaded sources from
/root/rpmbuild/BUILD/systemimager-4.3.0/initrd_source/src/ to the
permanent place /usr/src/. Strangely, today the correct e2fsprogs can be
downloaded successfully (it was absent yesterday).

2. The next missing download is a kernel source file
http://download.systemimager.org/pub/linux/linux_2.6.34.1.orig.tar.gz.
So I grabbed a similar file from
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ and renamed it with the
.orig (probably a no-no!). The kernel.org version seems to build, but I
had to answer a bunch of configure questions.

3. Next failure occurs when building parted-2.3:
...
checking for dm_task_create in -ldevmapper... no
configure: error: libdevmapper could not be found, but is required for the
--enable-device-mapper option, which is enabled by default.  Either disable
device-mapper support with --disable-device-mapper or download and install
device-mapper from:
http://sources.redhat.com/dm/
FYI, our RHEL6.2 server does have the device-mapper 32- and 64-bit RPMs
installed with /lib/libdevmapper.so.1.02.

Question: Am I on the right track, or is there a better way to build the
SI RPMs?

Thanks a lot,
Ole

We want to eliminate the need for mknod, definitely.

I would still consider SVN trunk to be in a testing state.  Most of the 
intelligence is the same, but the way the autoinstall client binaries 
and kernel are built is a bit different.

Please let me know how it goes.

 Anybody able to do that?

Thanks a lot!  I grabbed the missing linux_2.6.34.1.orig.tar.gz file now.

Unfortunately the build process still asks unwarranted questions. This is what 
I 
did:

1. I have checked out SVN trunk revision 4568 from 
https://systemimager.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/systemimager/trunk
2. In the trunk/ directory I do: make source_tarball
3. Then I build it: cd tmp;  rpmbuild -ta systemimager-4.3.0.tar.bz2

However, during the build process the kernel wants to be reconfigured:

 + make all
 rm -rf /root/rpmbuild/BUILD/systemimager-4.3.0/src/linux-2.6.34.1
 Extracting kernel source...done
 cp -a /root/rpmbuild/BUILD/systemimager-4.3.0/patches/linux.x86_64.config

 perl -pi -e s/^EXTRAVERSION =\s*(\S*)\s*\n/EXTRAVERSION = \1-boel_v4.3.0\n/ 
 /root/rpmbuild/BUILD/systemimager-4.3.0/src/linux-2.6.34.1/Makefile
 make -C /root/rpmbuild/BUILD/systemimager-4.3.0/src/linux-2.6.34.1 oldconfig

So something must be wrong. I don't why I have to reconfigure the kernel 
whereas 
Olivier doesn't. FYI, my build host is RHEL6.2 (fully updated).

Thanks for any help,
Ole
