RSGMetaPackages

Note ALL RSG metapackages and scripts are being handed over to CS infrastructure.

List of Unique packages NOT in the CS metapackages

• 21 Nov 2014 Mike Gore * rsg_unique.txt: Annotated RSG package list - with duplicates marked from from uwcs meta packages packages

Using uwcs-rsg MetaPackages on a new system

1. ) install a ubuntu-14.04 and a clean machine of VM
2. ) create a cscf-adm user with full admin and sudo permissions
3. ) obtain a copy of the rsg metta package scripts

• • cd packaging

1. ) ./updates -y this configures the system to use uwcs-rsg metapackages and installs just a few packages
2. ) apt-get install uwcs-rsg-everything - this installs about 15G worth of packages takes under 1 hour on my system
3. ) You are done - next step is image the machine as a reference image.

Creating package with the deployment scripts

• In order to create your own packages you must checkout depot.cs
• git clone git.cs.uwaterloo.ca:/git/depot.cs.git
• git checkout TRUSTY

Update make_packages

• • Package home - defined by the directory you did the git checkout steps in above
    • PACKAGE_HOME=/home/magore/packages/depot.cs
  • Update name prefix
    • PREFIX=uwcs-rsg
  • Default version number VERSION=0.06
  • Package Maintainer USERID USER=magore

Update packages.txt - this is the package source file

* P: defines a package name without the PREFIX * *D: defines the one line documentation of the package * # defines end of package * Other lines are assume to be part of the package and a description (from apt-cache -n of a package)

Make the packages

• ./make_packages - this reads a file called packages.txt and creates a the new packages

Deploy the packages so other can use them

• Change into $PACKAGE_HOME/packages
• ./deploy_uwcs-rsg.sh - this script was created by make_packages above
  • Your packages are deployed
