Category: Installation Group: 4.2 Status: Open >Resolution: Fixed Priority: 9 Submitted By: Bernard Li (bernardli) >Assigned to: Bernard Li (bernardli) 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: Bernard Li (bernardli) Date: 2005-08-30 23:57 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=879102 - I added /etc/redhat-release to rpmlist and this works on RHEL3u5 x86 - I checked CentOS 3/4, ScientificLinux 3/4 and they all provide /etc/redhat-release (even though they may be provided by centos-release and sl-release RPMs respectively) - Fix checked into branch-4-2 r3642,3644, trunk r3643 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Erich Focht (efocht) Date: 2005-08-30 06:09 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=338721 Can somebody please explain why we don't simply add another packagelist for Centos and one for SL? It is wrong to say we "don't support" something which is just two clicks away. My opinion is that we support one RHEL clone once there is a selectable rpmlist for it. The tiny step of choosing this list in the build image step is affordable even for the lamest sysadmin. OTOH the effort of keeping the rpmlists of original RHEL and clones in sync is our duty. And that is simple enough, too. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: John (muglerj) Date: 2005-08-29 13:13 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=505737 bumping as per the con call. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Bernard Li (bernardli) Date: 2005-08-27 14:23 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 14:15 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 13:19 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 07:19 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
