I currently use a separate machine to make world and to make and archive
ports and packages. I would like to retire that machine and move that
functionality into a jail. I am due to switch to 7.1 from 6.3 soon.
I understand that I cannot run divergent kernels in the jails.
I could still make a 7.1-RELEASE world on a 6.3-RELEASE jail and
installworld into the jail. That would leave me with a very strange
jail system with a new generation system (binaries / libs / includes /
utils / ports) with an old generation kernel.
The only purpose of the jails is compiling world and installing ports.
The parent system on which the jails reside cannot be made unreliable
due to running the mishmash old/new jails.
I'll need to run NFS servers and telnet servers inside the jails.
Systems on my network would mount the jail's /usr/obj, /usr/src and
/usr/ports via NFS to facilitate installworld and port upgrades.
Can I make this work? Am I asking for trouble?
Thanks,
Jason
Hi Jason,
You might want to have a look at Tinderbox: http://tinderbox.marcuscom.com/
This tool helps you build packages in a controlled environment, based on
your specified src tree, ports tree and port options. I believe you'll
need to install it on at least a 7.1-RELEASE system if you want to build
packages for that OS version.
I am currently working on a VMware virtual machine that's preinstalled
with 8.0-STABLE and Tinderbox so anyone can very easily build packages
for 6.3, 7.x and 8.0-STABLE. If you're interested in having a look at
that, let me know and I'll tell you when it's ready.
Regards,
Greg
