Hi all,

Here below is my feedback about OSCAR setup on CentOS 6.3.
You will notice that it is not finished yet.

I successfully installed OSCAR packages on CentOS 6 with
# yum install oscar-base

However when executing
#  oscar-config --setup-distro centos-6-x86_64

It returned
=============================================================================
== Setting centos-6-x86_64...
=============================================================================

ERROR: Unsupported distro (centos-6-x86_64) at /usr/bin/oscar-config line 254.



I added line

centos-6-x86_64 = distro:http://isoredirect.centos.org/centos/6/os/x86_64/ 
oscar:http://svn.oscar.openclustergroup.org/repos/unstable/rhel-6-x86_64

under [unstable] version of OSCAR into /etc/oscar/supported_distros.txt file.

Afterwards the

# oscar-config --setup-distro centos-6-x86_64


worked successfully and created files

/tftpboot/distro/centos-6-x86_64.url
/tftpboot/oscar/rhel-6-x86_64.url

NOTE: There are some references to rhel-6 .

I created a link
/tftpboot/oscar/
ln -s rhel-6-x86_64.url centos-6- x86_64.url


I launched

# oscar-config -bootstrap

And I had some messages like

Distro repository /tftpboot/oscar/rhel-6-x86_64 not found. Creating empty 
directory. at /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/OSCAR/PackagePath.pm line 371.
Commons repository /tftpboot/oscar/common-rpms not found. Creating empty 
directory.
mkdir /tftpboot/oscar/rhel-6-x86_64
mkdir /tftpboot/oscar/common-rpms


However, it continued ..

I had to install many dependencies to be finally blocked by Perl-QT dependency.


I tried to build it using PerlQt-3.008.tar.gz package but it fails.
I tried to use perl-AnyEvent-Qt.x86_64 from rpmforge .. it is of no use.
I tried to install it with cpan .. it fails.

Later I saw some messages on 
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.cluster.oscar.devel/2784
concerning Perl-QT but I do not understand if I should download the beta source 
files and compile it myself?

Another trouble I had is that perl CPAN packages (installed with "cpan") are 
not taken into consideration by oscar-config when checking dependencies. I 
needed to look for .rpm files.


Please advise,
Costel SEITAN
