Issue #7441 has been updated by Adam Edwards.

It seems like a lot of extra work to try and create separate packages for SLES. 
  I run a 50% mix of SLES/RHEL in my enterprise (600+ servers) and there are 
lots of noarch packages that work out of the box on both.   Since there is no 
compiled code in mcollective, I think it would be less maintenance to support 
only one spec/srpm.

Any discrepencies between the environments can be handled by configuration 
files.

For example, what about having /etc/init.d/mcollective read a configuration 
file in /etc/mcollective/mcol.conf, then if RUBYLIB is different on my 
environment I can just update the configuration file.

How can I help get it to be a supported platform?   SLES is probably the second 
most used enterprise system behind RHEL/CentOS

Author: Adam Edwards
Status: Needs More Information
Priority: Normal
Assignee: R.I. Pienaar
Category: Packaging
Target version: 
Keywords: 
Branch: 
Affected mCollective version: 


In SLES 11, the RUBYLIB dir is a little different than RedHat.   Would you be 
able to make the following code change so that it works on SLES out of the box?



/etc/init.d/mcollective script as follows:

Old:
RUBYLIB=/usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8:$RUBYLIB

New:
RUBYLIB=/usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8:/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8:$RUBYLIB
