[Server-devel] Testing rpm dependencies of XSCE ansible version using a virtual package
To test hidden dependencies in current ansible implementation I've built a **virtual package called xsce-virtual.rpm** [1] that includes a `Provides` rule: ``` Provides: xs-config xs-tools ``` Installing it in the target machine, it is possible to install XSCE from source with ansible assuring that actual xs-config and xs-tools packages won't be installed. ``` $ sudo yum localinstall xsce-virtual-0.0-1479_g3ad13d3.noarch.rpm [...] Complete! $ yum whatprovides xs-config xs-tools xsce-virtual-0.0-1479_g3ad13d3.noarch : XSCE virtual package to isolate xs-config and xs-tool dependencies Repo: @/xsce-virtual-0.0-1479_g3ad13d3.noarch Matched from: Provides: xs-config xsce-virtual-0.0-1479_g3ad13d3.noarch : XSCE virtual package to isolate xs-config and xs-tool dependencies Repo: @/xsce-virtual-0.0-1479_g3ad13d3.noarch Matched from: Provides: xs-tools $ sudo yum install -y git ansible $ git clone https://github.com/XSCE/xsce $ cd xsce/ $ sudo ./runansible [...] $ yum list installed|grep ^xs xs-rsync.noarch 0.6.12.gabc8f49-1.fc17 @xs-extra xsce-virtual.noarch 0.0-1479_g3ad13d3 @/xsce-virtual-0.0-1479_g3ad13d3.noarch $ ``` Related with this, I cleaned dxs.spec from DXS branch and sent a pull request [2]: - include xsce.yml - substitute DXS for XSCE in paths and texts - add `Provides: ` directive for xs-config and xs-tools. To test, please install the rpm in the target machine and run ansible: ``` sudo yum localinstall xsce-server-0.0-1480_gb42a1de.noarch.rpm sudo runansible ``` See https://sugardextrose.org/issues/4827 for the rpm packages. Of course, packages can be built using ``rpmbuild -bb xsce-server.spec``. 1: https://gist.github.com/migonzalvar/7238367 2: https://github.com/XSCE/xsce/pull/22 -- https://github.com/XSCE/xsce/pull/22 Miguel González Activity Central: https://github.com/XSCE/xsce/pull/22 http://www.activitycentral.com ___ Server-devel mailing list Server-devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel
Re: [Server-devel] Server-devel Digest, Vol 78, Issue 39
Hi, TK You are right, it will be a good opportunity. If you consider a one-classroom deployment of 30-40 XOs, it would be worthwhile to test collaboration performance with a single router and ejabberd. The mesh potato seems to offer benefits to deployments with more than one classroom and more than one mesh. In this case, mesh potato routing could enable collaboration by classroom replacing ejabberd service from the school server. It would be great if two routers could be set up and a school server run with ejabberd and dhcpd not started. Then we could split the XOs between the two routers and check their ability to interact with the school server and their ability to collaborate within their subnets.

Can get direct feedback of users with the 20+ XO and other devices from this direct/indirect stress test.
