Hi, Thanks for the patches, i will integrate those ASAP. Clearly the ubuntu-8.04 support is still unstable even for the bootstrapping mechanism.
About the integration of the packages in SVN, the plan is too put all the source code into SVN, except the binary packages that will stay in the repositories (binary packages have nothing to do in SVN). But, at the same time, i am working on tools for mirroring repositories and be able to export/import repositories, with the idfea to be able to setup a OSCAR on offline clusters. That should be available soon... Also note that the code is already in SVN. :-) I just need to update the binary package on the repos. The list of repos is available here: http://bear.csm.ornl.gov/repos But i want first to stabilize a little more the code (i do not want to have to upload many packages every time i fix a bug), which i hope will come soon. Thanks again for your help, i really appreciate. ----- Mail Original ----- De: "Abhishek K" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> À: [email protected] Envoyé: Jeudi 7 Août 2008 03:22:40 GMT -05:00 USA/Canada - États de l'Est Objet: Re: [Oscar-devel] merge branch-5-1 and trunk - something to test Geoffroy, The setup-distro parameter seems to work now (although, I can't say for sure since I am doing all my testing on Ubuntu Hardy 8.04) BTW, it's sweet to have an OSCAR deb repository. I just have to do "sudo aptitude update" && "sudo aptitude upgrade" to get the new Debian packages :) Now the bootstrap process immediately dies out with an error, after these last changes. (See attached bootstrap_error.log) I tried to dig up into what causes this -- Remote repositories (http, ftp) are returned as empty and hence repos_list_urlfile does not populate it into @remote and hence @pools. --- PackagePath.pm 2008-08-06 14:22:35.000000000 -0600 +++ PackagePath_modified.pm 2008-08-07 00:50:19.000000000 -0600 @@ -422,6 +422,8 @@ # sub repo_empty ($) { my ($path) = (@_); + # How are we going to check if remote repositories (http, ftp) are empty are not? + return 0 if (repo_local($path) == 0); $path =~ s,^file:/,/,; return 1 if (! -d $path); my $entries = 0; This seems to take me further, but I encounter distro repository issues about "no matching packages found".

Are you planning to put this merge back onto the OSCAR svn repo? I can probably test for Ubuntu and RHEL x86, and directly commit such patches upstream.
