Our central server actually runs Redhat RHEL 5.2 (our nodes run CentOS). The rpmbuild process crashes at this stage: kexec/arch/i386/kexec-multiboot-x86.c: In function 'multiboot_x86_load': kexec/arch/i386/kexec-multiboot-x86.c:217: warning: pointer targets in passing argument 3 of 'elf_rel_build_load' differ in signedness kexec/arch/i386/kexec-multiboot-x86.c:346: error: 'PAGE_SIZE' undeclared (first use in this function) kexec/arch/i386/kexec-multiboot-x86.c:346: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once kexec/arch/i386/kexec-multiboot-x86.c:346: error: for each function it appears in.) kexec/arch/i386/kexec-beoboot-x86.c: In function 'beoboot_load': kexec/arch/i386/kexec-beoboot-x86.c:125: warning: pointer targets in assignment differ in signedness kexec/arch/i386/kexec-beoboot-x86.c:136: warning: pointer targets in passing argument 2 of 'do_bzImage_load' differ in signedness kexec/arch/i386/kexec-beoboot-x86.c:136: warning: pointer targets in passing argument 4 of 'do_bzImage_load' differ in signedness kexec/arch/i386/kexec-beoboot-x86.c:136: warning: pointer targets in passing argument 6 of 'do_bzImage_load' differ in signedness make[1]: *** [/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/systemimager-4.1.6/src/kexec-tools-testing-20061214/objdir/kexec/arch/i386/kexec-multiboot-x86.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/systemimager-4.1.6/src/kexec-tools-testing-20061214' make: *** [/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/systemimager-4.1.6/src/kexec-tools-testing-20061214/objdir/build/sbin/kexec] Error 2 error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.24948 (%build) >> > I would like to play with the Bittorrent transport, but there is >> > a problem installing this RPM package: ... > It is telling you to install the bittorrent RPM here (yum install bittorrent). There doesn't exist any bittorrent package for RHEL5 (there was one in RHEL4), nor does RHEL5 have any package with the string "torrent" in it :-( So it seems that we need instructions for how to install a third-party Bittorrent RPM package. Which one (or ones) ar recommended/tested, and how do we find information about installing them ? >> > 2. Update the Wiki documentation accordingly. > > Which section do you have in mind? I looked in vain in two places: In http://wiki.systemimager.org/index.php/Quick_Start_HOWTO there are two paragraphs (RPM and Deb) "If you want to use the BitTorrent transport install also:"... In http://wiki.systemimager.org/index.php/BitTorrent there should be an introductory section explaining how to install Bittorrent software. >> > 3.

How about printing the URL of the above Quick_Start_HOWTO page ?
