Re: [Oscar-devel] SLES10 + oscar-5.1a1r5332-20060905

All,

 

            For SLES10 on EM64T, I am having trouble getting the installer to recognize the OS as valid; I am sure my $release_string is probably incorrect, however I am not sure how to fix it, I’m sure it’s a simple fix, yet it still eludes me.  I have attached the SLES.pm file and my SuSE-release file.

 

Thanks for any help,

Hi Chris:

 

What you probably want to do is make a copy of SuSE.pm and call it SLES.pm, and modify the $release_string to match whatever it is on SLES10.  After that it is simply a matter rebuilding a bunch of packages (RPMs) under SLES10 and creating SLES-specific distro directories for packages (eg. packages/sge/distro/sles10).

 

I'm not sure how similiar SLES10 is with SUSE Linux 10, but if they are similiar enough, perhaps you can even make "sles" a compat_distro of "suse" (hopefully Erich can provide some insight regarding this).

 

I would suggest that you use oscar-5.0 instead of 5.1 because 5.0 is more stable and will be released "soon".  5.1 does have the added features of the CLI and system-sanity framework though.

 

If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to contact us!

 

Thanks,

 

Bernard

All,

 

            I am working on SLES10 + oscar-5.1a1r5332-20060905, and I am trying to get Oscar to recognize SLES10 as an actual viable OS (versus SuSE), I believe I need to modify the perl module: /opt/oscar/lib/OSCAR/OCA/OS_Detect/SuSE.pm but am unsure how to make this work correctly, any thoughts?  

 

 

System:

 

OS: SLES10

Oscar: oscar-5.1a1r5332-20060905

Dual processor Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3.60GHz EM64T system

 

Goal: Functional oscar framework on SLES10.

 

 

 

Thanks in advance!
