Category: Installation Group: 4.2 Status: Open Resolution: None >Priority: 9 Submitted By: Bernard Li (bernardli) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: redhat-release package not installed on RHEL3 Initial Comment: Since redhat-release was removed from redhat-3as-*.rpmlist, redhat-release RPM is not installed on the compute nodes. This was done so that we can support clones which may not have redhat-release RPM. This does not happen on RHEL4, so supposedly a RPM in the RHEL4 rpmlist is adding the redhat-release RPM because of dependencies... perhaps we can find out which RPM this is and add it to the redhat-3as-*.rpmlist? Another option is to put redhat-release back in the rpmlist, but then we cannot support RHEL3 clones. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: John (muglerj) Date: 2005-08-29 16:13 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=505737 bumping as per the con call. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Bernard Li (bernardli) Date: 2005-08-27 17:23 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=879102 I just checked... RHEL3's initscripts RPM does not require /etc/redhat-release (at least the one in u5). rpm -qp --requires initscripts-7.31.22.EL-2.i386.rpm | grep release returns nothing. Fedora Core 3 and RHEL4's initscripts RPMs do though... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: David N. Lombard (dnl) Date: 2005-08-27 17:15 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=27334 initscripts requires /etc/redhat-release on RHL9 and FC2. Does it not on RHEL3? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Bernard Li (bernardli) Date: 2005-08-27 16:19 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=879102 Well the image still builds, and the node can still boot up but you'll notice that you won't see things like: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3... at the console login. Also, during boot up you may see messages saying '/etc/redhat-release not found or missing'... I can test it out again, but I guess we just need to add packages which require /etc/redhat-release into RHEL3's rpmlists... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: David N. Lombard (dnl) Date: 2005-08-27 10:19 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=27334 Hmm... Both RHL9 and FC2 have packages requiring /etc/redhat-release, which is only provided by redhat-release-9-3 and fedora-release-2-4 respectively. So, the appropriate *-release package should automagically be loaded through dependency resolution, else the image build wouldn't complete... So, did RHEL3 suddenly stop building? I tested it just last week! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=109368&aid=1274489&group_id=9368 ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference & EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile & Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects & Teams * Testing & QA Security * Process Improvement & Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf _______________________________________________ Oscar-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/oscar-devel
