Title: [Oscar-devel] install_prereq change
Hi Erich:
 
And what sort of time frame are we looking at implementing this?  Post 5.0?
 
Thanks,

Subject: [Oscar-devel] install_prereq change

Hi,

I'm trying to restructure the way how binary packages are copied from the
package distro directories to OSCAR repositories in order to switch later to a
simpler way of distributing OSCAR. This required a significant change to
install_prereq:

- Removed generic-setup call. Packages are now searched in:
  - the appropriate share/prereqs/*/distro/... directories
  - the appropriate packages/*/distro/... directories
  - the _local_ distro repositories (packages expected to live in the top
  level directory, for example: /tftpboot/distro/centos-4-i386).

  This is only needed in "dumb" mode, smart mode will search the distro and
  oscar repositories, not the packages or share/prereqs subdirectories.

  Attention: there is still no version checking in dumb mode. The last match
  will be installed.

- Added functionality to deal with shell scripts!
  The following configuration line inside prereq.cfg:

  sh: mkdir /scratch

  will execute the command right after the "sh:" string.
  So each config line starting with "sh:" is a shell script command which will
  be invoked _after_ the installation of any requested packages.

- Added check whether requested packages were installed or not. This
  should help with the issues which we had with missing prerequisites. This is
  done _after_ the install step but before executing any script lines. If any
  package was not installed, install_prereq fails with an error, i.e. the
  script lines will not be executed.

Regards,
Erich
