Hi , I am using the OSCAR 5.0 with RHEL 4.4. I want to create my own rpm list. Is there any tool in OSCAR or any way which I can use to genarate the rmplist. The default rpmlist is not enough for the client node as per my requirnment. Regards Muhammad Imran Abbas IT & GNG Consultant Halliburton Kuwait

Very sorry about that. Based on OSCAR-6.0, a simple but unsatisfying solution is to manually install the package. Please refer the following documentation to do so: https://svn.oscar.openclustergroup.org/trac/oscar/wiki/InstallGuidePreparing#Repositories I actually found a better solution but it implies a small modification of oscar-base. Therefore, i will do my best to release 6.0.1 asap, earlier than expected but with fewer modifications. I hope this is an acceptable solution for you. Sorry again for the problem, i am ashamed you cannot even bootstrap OSCAR, i did a bad job on that specific point. My apologizes.

It makes sense, for example, to have something other than definitions for [unstable] in /etc/oscar/supported_distros.txt. Using oscar-config to setup for a given distro before bootstrapping also makes sense. Here is the direct output after following (verbatim) steps 1. to 6. at http://svn.oscar.openclustergroup.org/trac/oscar/wiki/repoTesting.

But feel free to send me directly the output. But, thanks to your message, i actually found a problem with OSCAR-6.0, a configuration file provided by the oscar-base package is not up-to-date. :-( I am very sorry about that and i updated the documentation to explain how to fix the problem (pretty simple fix). Therefore, if anyone wants to try OSCAR-6.0, please make sure that you follow the documentation (http://svn.oscar.openclustergroup.org/trac/oscar/wiki/repoTesting). Let me know if you have any other issue.

Yumming perl-AppConfig manually is trivial (I get version 1.56-8.0.el5). Rerunning the bootstrap, it complains AppConfig is already installed, ("Nothing to do."), then screams "impossible to get default repository for centos-5-x86_64" and dies. I presume this was working before being "released"?
