well... no. The directories are created in two places: - one level above the trunk checkout, so this could still be the user's directory - inside the trunk checkout (subdirectory repo) No specal rights except proper ownership of the parent directory (relative to the trunk checkout) are needed. I'd expect the trunk checkout to live somewhere in the user's home directory tree... > It is not a problem for me to run the nightly tarball script because I > can run the script with "sudo" and then scp the tarballs to the oscar > web site. > But is it possible for a normal user to build tarballs? > > BTW, I found that we don't have a tarball ready for all the distros that > we support any more. > Is that right? > I will try this on my FC3-X86 next morning. > http://oscar.openclustergroup.org/public/nightly/trunk/oscar-repo-fc-3-i386-5.0a1r4831.tar.gz Please read the README file in the top level directory. It contains the same message as in my email announcing the change. And it basically says: you need 3 tarballs to run a system. In your case these are: oscar-base (< 5MB) oscar-repo-common-rpms (~60MB) oscar-repo-fc-3-i386 (~40MB) So instead of downloading 5-600MB you just pick 100MB. Additional distro support requires another 40MB download, not more. By the way: can you check whether you can put the unpacked repositories (oscar-repo tarballs) online at IU? Installing would then only require the download of the 5MB.
