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....
This is implying that you have rpmdb installed on your build system. You
can verify this with
rpm -qa | grep rpmdb
If you do have it then use rpm to remove it.
2. It is using the Fermi PATH, but I cannot figure out where does it get
that...
It seems like there is a directory path in the base/scripts that is not
using the right path. Just modify it to point to the right place. Must
have missed that in the documentation. Thanks for reporting this issue.
The output below was very useful to debug this problem.
