Hi Dominik: Good news, I got the OSCAR code from branch-5-0 working with openSUSE 10.2. There are a few issues that need to be addressed, but the final outcome is that I could deploy the image and all tests complete (I didn't select any non-core packages, like Gangia, MPI, SGE/TORQUE, etc.)
The main problem with image creation, is that for some reason scripts/distro-query cannot correctly detect the OS of remote repositories. I am not sure if this is a bug or feature, but anyways I filed it here: http://svn.oscar.openclustergroup.org/trac/oscar/ticket/395 To get around this issue, you need to modify /usr/bin/yume. In line 241 it should read "return $dist;". Add "$dist = "suse";" before that line. In this case, yume will always bootstrap (you will only be able to create openSUSE images, but not other distributions). I hope that issue can be fixed soon as it affects SUSE support in general. Another related issue is there is a bug with the SystemImager 3.7.5 RPMs -- basically there is a RPM which obsoletes itself and yum does not fail gracefully. To get around this please download the development RPMs for SystemImager from here: http://therealms.org/oss/systemimager/ (Copy the 3.9.2.99 RPMs to /tftpboot/oscar/common-rpms) There seems to be an issue with openSUSE 10.2's perl-AppConfig RPM as it is missing the dependency for perl-File-HomeDir. I made changes to the code to accomodate this. Please grab the files here: http://therealms.org/oss/oscar/opensuse-10.2 The files should go to: oscarsamples/suse-10.2-i386.rpmlist share/prereqs/base/prereq.cfg packages/sis/config.xml This should get you going with OSCAR 5.0 and openSUSE 10.2. Given the nature of these changes, it might be best if you start with a fresh install -- at the very least, run scripts/start_over to "uninstall" OSCAR and start again. Please let me know if you run into other issues. Once you confirm things are working, I will check my changes into trunk. Also, it would be great if you can contribute your RPMs so that we can include them in future releases of OSCAR.
