Hi,
I will sum up here what I have done so far to make reading of it easier.
I am still unable to make a site with a handful of custom RPMs that
would install. I believe I really closely followed the web instructions:
https://www.scientificlinux.org/documentation/howto/create.site
I created my site in the <tree>/sites/ directory by copying
the <tree>/sites/example directory. Then I added my own RPMs
into <tree>/sites/<mysite>/Updates as suggested in:
ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/30x/i386/sites/example/build/documentation/README.steps
I did modify locations.include.
Then I did a kickstart install and it seemed to be happy, but my rpms
from The Updates directory did not get installed.
So I reread README and it seems to me that I should be modifying also
comps.xml.main, so I did that and tried to run make.everything.sh
again and I have the following problem.
1. It asks me to remove rpmdb-SL-44-0.20061019 and I don't seem to have
it....
2. It is using the Fermi PATH, but I cannot figure out where does it get
that...
See full output below,
Suggestions appreciated.
