Re: [Spacewalk-devel] Informal Devel Environment Survey
My setup involves the following 1) Workstation with Fedora on it. This workstation has eclipse + sudo yum install ant-nodeps junit ant-junit java-1.6.0-openjdk-devel sudo rpm -Uvh http://mirrors.dotsrc.org/jpackage/1.7/generic/free/RPMS/ivy-1.3.1-1jpp.noarch.rpm it also has a checkout of the spacewalk git repo. The checkout directory has the code directory listed in /etc/exports to make it available across systems for NFS mount. It also has a Vmware Server running on it with a Rhel 5 VM. 2) The Rhel 5 VM has Spacewalk setup from the https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/HowToInstall instructions .. I then go to https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/DevelopmentWorkstationSetup I skip the git checkoout part and instead mount the directory exported from fedora.., I follow every other step formt he development workstation setup. Idea is to do the development + compilation using the Eclipse IDE on Fedora and runtime with ant/tomcat5/apache etc on Rhel 5 where a 'spacewalk-like' environemnt is present. Trick is to maintain the same directory structure + user permission (including same UID + GIDs) information across both machines.. so for example if the git directory is in /opt/sw/spacewalk on fedora it is the same in rhel 5 .. if my UID is XXX on fedora, there must be a user with the same name and name UID in rhel 5. I would think a similar setup could work for Fedora/Centos combination also... This is a fairly complicated setup but i like the separation between development and runtime environment..

Re: [Spacewalk-devel] Informal Devel Environment Survey
A couple things I noticed on the setup page are slightly out of date now. 1. cd $GITDIR/spacewalk/search-server make test-srpm; rpmbuild --rebuild spacewalk-search-*.git.*.src.rpm; rpm -Uvh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/noarch/spacewalk- search-0.4.1-1.git.*.noarch.rpm The src rpm does not exist directly under search-server but one dir down. Another issue I had is the rpmbuild command tries to write to /usr/src which you then could end up with permission issues. 2. /etc/init.d/rhn-satellite stop It appears to be now suggested to use /usr/sbin/rhn-satellite stop ( I think its in /usr/sbin now ). Please correct me if I am wrong in any of these cases. These are just a couple things that caused me a few hicups during the dev setup process.

The end goal is a great one as well, spacewalk installable straight out of Fedora/EPEL yum repos.

Anyone feel like sharing what, if anything, they're doing differently from the standard devel environment setup defined here (and why): https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/DevelopmentWorkstationSetup I have a gut feeling we should recommend something drastically different to lower the barrier to entry. I personally disagree with the whole DevelopmentWorkstationSetup idea. Since you will get something which differs from final Spacewalk. And I do not want to run tests and experiments directly on my workstation. I prefer to have Spacewalk installed on different virtual machine and test the code there. I write code on my machine. Python/perl code I then copy directly. For java I use this workflow: I edit .java file in git on my machine and then in virtual machine as root: # cd /tmp # mkdir -p com/redhat/rhn/domain/kickstart/ # scp myn...@mymachine:spacewalk.git/java/src/com/redhat/rhn/domain/kickstart/KickstartCommand.java com/redhat/rhn/domain/kickstart/ # javac -extdirs /var/lib/tomcat5/webapps/rhn/WEB-INF/lib/ com/redhat/rhn/domain/kickstart/KickstartCommand.java # jar uf /usr/share/rhn/lib/rhn.jar com/redhat/rhn/domain/kickstart/KickstartCommand.class # /etc/init.d/tomcat5 restart If I make changes in a lot of files I run "make test-rpm" in directory where the package reside (can be find by cat rel-eng/packages/package>) and then copy and install the resulting rpm to that virtual machine.
