Subject: Globus Oscar Package
Hello,
After some hibernation, I have started to work on the
Globus Package
for Oscar.
I have created working rpms for apache-ant,
junit and Globus Toolkit
4.0 and written the required config.xml, setup
and
post_server_rpm_script files (on FC3 platform).
The total size of
the globus-oscar.tar.gz is around 68MB The next step
mentioned is the adding
the package to a OPD repository. I wanted to
know how do I go about doing
this and test my package.
I have assumed that java is preinstalled by the
user, for the timebeing.
Thanks in
advance,
Regards,
Kshitij

Apache-ant has been installed or not. If not then we install it.

5. I wrote the post_configure as suggested. So the documentation says that
a

which

installed) for

install.

done to read the conf

rpms have to be intelligent

script after post_configure is

rpm installtion, I need to

post_configure whether or not to install apache-ant.

java
