Subject: Re: [Oscar-devel] OSCAR4Debian
w/r/t OpenPBS and Maui packaging... There are newer versions
of those packages available in OPD than in OSCAR svn (or
cvs). The newer version of PBS that I'm referring to is
re-labeled "Torque", and has additional patches applied which
differentiate it from the very old and unmaintained OpenPBS
version. I've been out of the loop for a bit, so it's
possible that someone has replaced OpenPBS w/ that Torque
package in the main tree already, although I haven't seen
anything about it.

Hello there,
(I've just subscribed to this list so please forgive my newbiness.)
I've been working on adapting OSCAR to Debian since may 3, in my
internship at EDF/R&D[1]. The main project is to build a full,
Debian-based workstation for scientific computation -- one
component of
which is, of course, clustering software.
EDF logically wants to make OSCAR usable within Debian since
it would
make everything Debian-based for them (hence better maintainable for
deployment services).
Note that I may, one day soon, follow the long way to become Debian
Developer. It will then be easy to upload whatever piece of
software
into Debian if it's not in yet.
I've hardly worked on packaging openpbs and maui: what I
mean is having
software built, installable, runnable and uploadable in Debian
-- but mostly to make them Debian Policy[2] compliant. I've
also done
such a task with pfilter, oda and c3 tools. I'm about to do the job
for env-switcher and few others. Moreover, Debian already provides
lam, pvm, mpich, hdf5 and so on -- so I don't have to adapt
the whole
stuff. In fact, I first make packages for Debian, then I make OSCAR
packages depend upon them. That's the better way, IMHO, to get both
OSCAR and Debian powers sat together.
I plan to get advantage of brand-new Debian-Installer to customize
Sarge so that it becomes OSCAR-enabled, as RPM-based distros
do. But
before that I'd like to be able to run OSCAR upon a standard Sarge
(first installed without OSCAR).
I'm now considering adapting the installing frontend: I noticed that
perl-QT (libqt-perl in Debian) was required to run OSCAR
GUIs, but what
is that OSCAR-specific so we have to build it ourselves
(same questions
for each of lib/*)? I noticed the use of autoconf too:
what job does it do, regarding GUIs?
I'll be happy to give more details on my work. Please be
aware of that
CVS access is closed by EDF's proxies, so I may miss some pieces
sometimes. My job is currenty based upon oscar-3.0.tgz.
