Hi Steven,
I got perl-Qt from the non crispy branch of fc7 or fc6 x86_64
nightly dowlad i had built earlier. It is not the the source rpm but a
binary rpm that you can install. It still works.

Good Luck and Happy 2008,

Hi Allan,
Can you tell me where you got perl-Qt from? I have not had any luck
finding pre-built binaries for FC 6, 7 or 8. I tried building from
source but ran into a problem.
Cheers,
Steve.

Hi DongInn,
I see you are busy working hard this Christmas! Thank you very
much. I did as i said to Steve Blackburn below and install fc8
x86_64 with the old rpms that i built. I also rebuilt witth
./build_all_rpms according to Eric Focht's previous excellent
intructions. Also I installed python-elementtree and perl-Qt fro
previous fc7 and fc-6 rpms builds of mine other than the crispy
branch. It is not enough to just copy the rpmlist for fc8 I had to
make a new xml file fc-8.x86_64.xml and fc-8-x86_64.rpmlist and i
have uploaded with my email previously both of these files as
fc8.tar attachement.
Thank you again and OSCAR on to the NEW YEAR 2008!
Cheers,
Allan Menezes

Hi, I have checked in all the opkg meta rpms for all the OSCAR packages for Fedora 7 / 8 - X86 and almost all the OSCAR normal packages have been rebuilt and checked in. (Note, only mpich for Fedora 8 is not recompiled). Some fixes are added and the fedora support should be much better than before. I hope that anyone can test with branch-5-1 on fedora 7 / 8 and post any problems. http://oscar.openclustergroup.org/filebrowser/49/branch Regards, - DongInn Allan Menezes wrote:

I'm having problems with the r6785 nightly (dated 23rd December) and am now getting too deep / involved. I am using Fedora 8 x86_64 (with no updates)... The first problem, which I managed to work around was needed oscar_server to be added to /etc/hosts for the sanity check. Ticket 439 covers this but the solution either isn't in the branch yet or doesn't solve all the issues.
I installed fc8 x86_64 on a cluster of five Quad cores with some problems but it installed. In /tftpboot/distro you need a file fedora-8-x86_64.url that contains the url of a remote repo of fc8 x86_64 distro. Choose one from fedora.org mirrors with 2gbps download like this one using emacs or vi: http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/fedora/linux/releases/8/Fedora/x86_64/os/
I had the problem of an apparent inconsitency in the names of distro-related directories in tftpboot. If I follow the documentation on the wiki and put the RPMs in /tftboot/distro/fedora-8-x86_64 I get an "Unable to detect OS error on line 128 of PackageSmart.pm" error. If I change line 74 packagesmart to use fedora instead of fc I go round in circles. Letting it recognise fc as well as fedora gets further.
Do not tamper with PackageSmart.pm iteworks if you name your local distro in /tftpboot/distro/fedora-8-x86_64 ( a directory) and copy all files from your fc8 x86_64 dvd there!
I had to "yum install dhcp php-pear xinet xmlstarlet" to install from the official online repo as none of these were on my DVD... are they really missing from the distribution or is my dvd just broken?
2)Yes i had to to the above
icluding yum install csh and below! That seems to be broken. So for now yum the packages it does not find. You will also have to build the rpms so do : svn co https://svn.oscar.openclustergroup.org/svn/oscar/branches/crispy_5.1 crispy51 say in /opt then go to /opt/crispy51/scripts and do ./build_all_rpms and copy all rpms from packages directory to /tftpboot/oscar/fc-8-x86_64 Also to get started you need lxml and cheetah . You can download and istall them by : python setup.py build; python setup.py install. yOu will first of all need opkgc! Here it is : svn co https://svn.oscar.openclustergroup.org/svn/oscar/pkgsrc/opkgc/trunk/ opkgc .cd opkgc and ./configure;make; make install! Step 2 will build all the rpms for you which you copy to
/tftpboot/oscar/common-rpms and /tftpboot/oscar/fc-8-x86_64 Alternately you can download the common repo and fc-8-x96_64 repo rpms which i built and uploaded som time ago before fc8 was released! from the crispy branck and ADD the SIS dir of built common-rpms to it to get going! Also when you are creating the client image add ;/tftpboot/oscar/fc-8-x86_64 to the gui first box. Happy Holidays, Allan Menezes
When I run the install again, there seem to be yet more packages missing: "yum
install perl-XML-Simple perl-HTML-Tree perl-Tk perl-Qt" but perl-Qt fails to
install - does this need building for Fedora 8? At this point I decided I might have
gone too far down this rabbit hole already and thought it best to get some feedback.
Please let me know if I need to go back a few steps, or what the next step might be.
Seasons Greetings, Steve. PS: I tried renaming the distro directory to
fc-8-x86_64 but
then tftpboot-check.pl fails "ERROR: Impossible to find a local or online repository in /tftpboot
for the distro fedora-8-x86_64" so I changed line 19 of tftpboot-check.pl to use the compat_distro
when determining the distro_id. This gets me further but wizard_prep keeps recreating the
/tftboot/distro/fedora-8-x86_64 directory (which tftfboot-check then complains is empty the second time
around!) */Bernard Li <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>/* wrote: Hi Steve: On 12/17/07, Steven

I try not to check in RPMs which are already included in the distro -- however, for some reason I think Fedora 8 stopped shipping python-elementtree. It would be great if you can help us verify support -- however, my work with f8-i386 would most definitely help with your endeavor on x86_64, but it definitely does not mean support as you'll still need to rebuild all the RPMs. Ask us questions if you run into issues, we'll help you out. I'll try to check in my changes tonight. Cheers, Bernard
