Unfortunately no one has yet offered any advice for building SystemImager (trunk version) on CentOS 6.2. Out of desperation I tried to build the trunk version on the RHEL 5.8 server where we have used SystemImager 4.1.7 successfully for years.
Again, the SI trunk version fails to build on RHEL 5.8 :-( The kernel configuration again asks a number of configuration questions, but I just choose the default values to proceed. Finally, the build process crashed at this stage: cd /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/systemimager-4.3.0/initrd_source/src && tar -xvJf gzip-1.4.tar.xz tar: invalid option -- J Try `tar --help' or `tar --usage' for more information. make: *** [/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/systemimager-4.3.0/initrd_source/src/gzip-1.4.unpack] Error 64 error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.6420 (%build) The problem is the file gzip-1.4.tar.xz which can't be unpacked on RHEL5/CentOS5 because the tar command on such systems don't know the .xz type of compression (tar -J command). Could someone knowledgeable about the SI trunk kindly replace the gzip-1.4.tar.xz package by the similar gzip-1.4.tar.gz package and change the -J flag into -z ?
