-This is the Oracle Barebone distribution,

-The following procedure was used to create this:
-
-1. Download from http://www.oracle.com/ (or currently directly on
- http://otn.oracle.com/software/products/oracle9i/) the Oracle 9i
- 9.2.0.1 Distribution CPIO Archives:

- 502320826 May 10 2003 92010Sol_Disk1.cpio.gz (32-bit download)
- 597226006 May 10 2003 92010Sol_Disk2.cpio.gz (32-bit download)
- 379469467 May 10 2003 92010Sol_Disk3.cpio.gz (32-bit download)
-
- Actually on Linux/ix86 only Disk 1 is required while
- on Solaris/sparc64 Disk 1 and Disk 2 are required.
-
-2. On the target machine, create an "oracle" user and group plus an
- empty directory /oracle which is owned by this user/group. Then copy
- the CPIO archives into /oracle/src and unpack them into the subdirs
- /oracle/src/Disk[123].
-
-3. After making sure that you have X11 run-time environment available on
- both the target machine and your desktop, go to the /oracle/src/Disk1
- on the target machine and run the commands:
-
- $ DISPLAY=desktop:0
- $ export DISPLAY
- $ sh runInstaller
-
- Then follow the dialogs and use "/oracle/oraInventory", the name
- "OracleHome" and the path "/oracle/OracleHome" when asked for the
- inventory path and the Oracle home name and directory. Then request
- the "Oracle 9i Client" product and use type "Run-Time" first. Then
- install through "Custom" type also the "Oracle Call Interface" and
- "Oracle Programmer" parts.
-
-4. After all this you have around 200-300MB under /oracle/OracleHome
- now. Copy the companion oracle-barebone.pl file into
- /oracle/OracleHome and run the command:
-
- # on Linux:
- $ perl oracle-barebone.pl 9.2.0.1 ix86-linux
-
- # on Solaris:
- $ perl oracle-barebone.pl 9.2.0.1 sparc64-solaris
-
- As a result you get CPIO archives like this one:
-
- 24650873 Dec 18 20:43 oracle-barebone-9.2.0.1.ix86-linux.cpio.bz2
- 27713659 Dec 18 20:46 oracle-barebone-9.2.0.1.sparc64-solaris.cpio.bz2
-
-5. Copy the newly-created CPIO archive to:
- %{l_prefix}/RPM/SRC/oracle-barebone/
-
-6. To build an oracle-barebone binary RPM, go to
- %{l_prefix}/RPM/SRC/oracle-barebone and run:
- rpm -bb oracle-barebone.spec
-
-7. Note that you will still need to build and install the oracle RPM
- in order to satisfy the dependencies of any package requiring ORACLE.
+This is the OpenPKG Oracle "Barebone" distribution, containing the
+Oracle 9i 9.2.0.1 Client CLI and C API. It is a heavily stripped
+down installation file set of a standard Oracle 9i Client Run-Time
+installation.
+
+The following step-by-step procedure was used to create the source RPM
+oracle-barebone-9.2.0.1.src.rpm for use on the sparc64-solaris and
+ix86-linux platforms:
+
+1. Download (to your desktop) from http://www.oracle.com/ (or currently
+ directly on http://otn.oracle.com/software/products/oracle9i/) the
+ Oracle 9i 9.2.0.1 Distribution CPIO Archives:
+
+ desktop$ w3m http://otn.oracle.com/software/products/oracle9i/
+
+ 553239173 May 10 2003 lnx_920_disk1.cpio.gz
+ 588798999 May 10 2003 lnx_920_disk2.cpio.gz
+ 442087410 May 10 2003 lnx_920_disk3.cpio.gz
+ 502320826 May 10 2003 92010Sol_Disk1.cpio.gz
+ 597226006 May 10 2003 92010Sol_Disk2.cpio.gz
+ 379469467 May 10 2003 92010Sol_Disk3.cpio.gz
+
+2. On all target machines (for us a ix86-linux and a sparc64-solaris
+ server), create an "oracle" user and group plus an empty directory
+ /oracle which is owned by this user/group. Then copy the Oracle
+ CPIO archives into /oracle/src and unpack them into the subdirs
+ /oracle/src/Disk[123].
+
+ target$ mkdir /oracle
+ target$ mkdir /oracle/src
+ target$ cd /oracle/src
+ target$ scp desktop:~/<target-id>[123].cpio.gz .
+ target$ for i in 1 2 3; do \
+ gunzip -d -c <target-id>$i.cpio.gz | cpio -idvmu; done
+ target$ chown -R oracle:oracle /oracle
+
+3. After making sure that you have a X11 run-time environment available
+ on both the target machine and your desktop, run the Oracle installer:
+
+ target$ DISPLAY=desktop:0
+ target$ export DISPLAY
+ target$ cd /oracle/src/Disk1
+ target$ sh runInstaller
+
+ Then follow the dialogs and use "/oracle/oraInventory", the name
+ "OracleHome" and the path "/oracle/OracleHome" when asked for the
+ inventory path and the Oracle home name and directory. Then request
+ the "Oracle 9i Client" product and use type "Run-Time" first. Then
+ install through "Custom" type also the "Oracle Call Interfaces" and
+ "Oracle Programmer" parts.
+
+4. Optionally, copy a suitable version of "tnsnames.ora" or "sqlnet.ora"
+ to "/oracle/OracleHome/network/admin/".
+
+5. After all this you have around 200-300MB under /oracle/OracleHome
+ now. Copy the companion oracle-barebone.pl file into
+ /oracle/OracleHome/ and run the command:
+
+ target$ cd /oracle/OracleHome
+ target$ scp build:<prefix>/RPM/SRC/oracle-barebone/oracle-barebone.pl .
+ # on Linux target machine only:
+ target$ perl oracle-barebone.pl 9.2.0.1 ix86-linux
+ # on Solaris target machine only:
+ target$ perl oracle-barebone.pl 9.2.0.1 sparc64-solaris
+
+ As a result you get CPIO archives like these ones:
+
+ 24650873 Dec 18 20:43 oracle-barebone-9.2.0.1.ix86-linux.cpio.bz2
+ 27713659 Dec 18 20:46 oracle-barebone-9.2.0.1.sparc64-solaris.cpio.bz2
+
+6. Copy the newly-created CPIO archive from all target hosts back to
+ your OpenPKG build host and build the "oracle-barebone" source RPM:
+
+ target$ scp *.cpio.bz2 build:<prefix>/RPM/SRC/oracle-barebone/
+
+ build$ cd <prefix>/RPM/SRC/oracle-barebone
+ build$ rpm -bs oracle-barebone.spec
+
+7. Now you can build and install the resulting "oracle-barebone" source
+ RPM into all target-compatible servers. Just notice that you will still
+ need to build and install the "oracle" OpenPKG package in order to
+ satisfy the dependencies of any package requiring "ORACLE".
+
+HINTS:
+
+- The "oracle-barebone" package is intended for mass deployment of
+ Oracle Clients with the help of OpenPKG with the goal of no longer
+ requiring X11 for installation and no longer requiring such a lot
+ of disk space. If you just want to install the Oracle client on
+ a single box where OpenPKG runs, this is not worth the efforts.
+ Then stick with the standard Oracle Client installation and use the
+ "oracle" glue package to locate it.
+
+- In smaller environments the build and target hosts could be the
+ same machine, of course. Here just forget our above notion of
+ "build" host.
+
+- In environments where you deploy the "oracle-barebone" package
+ always into OpenPKG instaces under the same filesystem
+ prefix, it could be reasonable (to avoid problems with
+ the linkage of libraries) that you create a symlink from
+ <prefix>/share/oracle-barebone to /oracle/OracleHome and then use
+ <prefix>/share/oracle-barebone instead of /oracle/OracleHome in the
+ Oracle installer. This way your library dependencies use already the
+ target paths and you do not have to make sure that the applications
+ you link against the libraries know about the paths.
