Hello all, I have a patch for our current development tree that adds the required /debian directory in order to be able to package up a patchless client from a source checkout/tarball release of Lustre. Before it can get added to our source tree it needs inspecting from a couple of people knowledgeable in doing .deb packaging however. So I am hoping that a couple of the people responsible for the packaging of the existing .debs for Ubuntu/Debian wouldn''t mind inspecting my patch. Or anyone else who feels they are proficient enough in .deb packaging to offer approval or constructive criticism of my patches is welcome. You will need an account in our bugzilla in order to transact the inspection and approval and/or criticism. Anyone interested? Cheers, b. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I started from existing Debian sources for lustre-1.6.7-2 and I adapted then as my knowledge allowed me, and then I made a local Ubuntu repository. We have a 128 client cluster using Infiniband that intends to use Lustre as the central storage with 2 OSSs and a DDN 9900 unit. Not in production yet, so I can make tests freely and play with it. It seems to work but I would be glad to share what I did I learn from others work Regards> > Anyone interested? > > Cheers, > b. > > _______________________________________________ > Lustre-discuss mailing list > Lustre-discuss at lists.lustre.org > http://lists.lustre.org/mailman/listinfo/lustre-discuss-- Ramiro Alba Centre Tecnol?gic de Tranfer?ncia de Calor http://www.cttc.upc.edu Escola T?cnica Superior d''Enginyeries Industrial i Aeron?utica de Terrassa Colom 11, E-08222, Terrassa, Barcelona, Spain Tel: (+34) 93 739 86 46 -- Aquest missatge ha estat analitzat per MailScanner a la cerca de virus i d''altres continguts perillosos, i es considera que est? net.

You might also want to pass this onto the pkg-lustre maintainers site. Also their svn repository for what patches they use for things svn://svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-lustre It might be prudent to let them know what you plan on doing for debian support so you can not step on each others toes.

Hi, David: On Mon, 2009-06-01 at 10:49 -0700, David Brown wrote:> You might also want to pass this onto the pkg-lustre maintainers site.Yes, of course. Though they may consider that I did I bad copy/adaptation of what have already bee doing. I am using Debian (now using Ubuntu due to hardware issues) for more than 12 years and doing packages since 6 years (I make a package of every piece of software I have to distribute locally), so I thing I may help if I am asked> > Also their svn repository for what patches they use for things > svn://svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-lustreYes, I suppressed nearly all of those patches, mainly because I did not know if they were needed or may cause problems with lustre 1.8.0> > It might be prudent to let them know what you plan on doing for debian > support so you can not step on each others toes.It is OK. I mainly want to help, at the same time that I keep the control of a very important piece of software for us, so I can package myself if needed and not having to depend of others work, which I, of course, appreciate very much. No intention of substituting others.

I have posted a message there seeking input.> Also their svn repository for what patches they use for things > svn://svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-lustreYeah. Their and my origin appear to be the same. As I mentioned in my posting to their list, we need to be able to produce all (patchless client at least) required packages from unprivileged "dpkg-buildpackage" and the use of modules-assistant in their debian/rules precludes that from every which way I can figure.> It might be prudent to let them know what you plan on doing for debian > support so you can not step on each others toes.Indeed. I don''t like re-inventing wheels either. For anyone who doesn''t care to follow the pkg-lustre list, the bug in our bugzilla which has my patch as well as some discussion is 19721. b. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
