Hi Egan, > Do you have xCAT running on Ubuntu?
Yes, and when I was working on this in v2.5.2, I had a el5 machine that was able to provision and ubuntu installation with all the patches. I also had a dedicated Ubuntu MN at one point for further development work, which was again able to provision ubuntu > Do you plan to make xCAT dep packages? Yes, All the dep packages that are required currently have a make_deb.sh script in trunk, and those are the main ones required. The rest of the packages currently in dep are not required in ubuntu, as a similar package is already available. Also I have added the debootstrap and dpkg packages into dep for the purpose of creating stateless ubuntu images for future work; I had started some initial work on this last time, but I had other things on my work load, and dropped development. But I am hoping to pinck this up as well. Hopefully within the next 2 weeks I will be back to where I was 18 months ago with the current release structure, and will have a el5 and ubuntu MN that are able to do the same thing again. regards, Arif > > On Mon, Apr 9, 2012 at 9:49 AM, Arif Ali <[email protected]> wrote: >> All, >> >> Just starting this thread to start discussions going on Ubuntu/Debain >> support with xCAT. >> >> I am picking this up again, and have started submitting all the >> patches to the repo that were submitted to the spec files to all the >> debian packaging, and get all the package management working. >> >> I am up for ideas on progress that people want in this.
