I took some time today to run the 1.3.x branch through the tests on an EBS-optimized large instance running the 64-bit RHEL 6.3 AMI with a 10GB XFS partition mounted as /usr/local/var/lib/couchdb.
Here's my experience and notes on what's different from the current RHEL5 installation wiki page: - libcurl from the repositories is new enough now - gcc-g++ is now a requirement, for snappy - I had to merge COUCHDB-1692 [0] and COUCHDB-1699 [1] in order to successfully build from git source Here's what happened with the test suite: - First time segfault. Logs about local.ini. After chown /usr/local/etc/couchdb it seems to work. - form_submit failed the first time. Succeeded when run individually - attachment_ranges fails in Chrome but not FF. I think this is expected IIRC. - stats failed the first time and said it managed to trigger an all dbs active, worked second time - replication and replicator_db did pass first try (after 6 minutes and 2 minutes respectively) I propose we merge the patches in the aforementioned tickets (and the init script change in COUCHDB-1449 [2]) to master and 1.3.x. All in all, it looks pretty good, actually. -Randall [0] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1692 [1] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1699 [2] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1449
