Hi,
I'm trying to catch up with the latest developments after being tied
up with other stuff. Saw some emails claiming there is only supoprt
for RHEL3-AS but no support for ES/WS. Why that? When buyng a cluster
the cost factor is very important and WS is significantly cheaper than
AS. Yes, I know that mysql-server and tftp-server are missing, but so
what? Rebuild them from source and provide them, or add the
corresponding instructions. Some recent emails from Bernard Li, David
Lombard seem to be implying that this is what one will have to do...
IMHO OSCAR's strength over Rocks is the flexibility in the choice of
the underlaing distro. When it's so simple, we should use this!
The attached patch changes lib/OSCAR/Distro.pm to treat RHEL3-AS/WS/ES
all equally. Please consider adding this to the SVN repository.
Thanks,
best regards,
Erich
PS: Some change to SIS might be still needed... I'll come to that when
the testing progresses
