The stasher and LIBCXX
development toolkits must be installed before building
distreboot.
On Fedora, executing
“rpmbuild -ta stasher-distreboot-version.tar.bz2”
produces an RPM package.
Execute
systemctl enable stasher-distreboot.service and
systemctl start stasher-distreboot.service.
If the server has more than one object repository node directory
(and multiple instances of the stasher server), distreboot
needs to know which one to use. Edit
stasher-distreboot.service, or install an override
in /etc/systemd, and add the
“--node directory” parameter
after “--start”.
distreboot gets installed on all nodes in a stasher cluster. Install the RPM package on every node in the stasher cluster. On other Linux distributions, use the following instructions as a guide to preparing a similar installable package.
Unpack the tarball, run the configure script, that takes the usual autoconf options, followed by make or gmake.
The same configure options, specifically the installation directories, that were used to build stasher are required. Otherwise distreboot will not get installed properly.
Execute make install DESTDIR=/tmp/instimage.
This creates an installation image in
/tmp/instimage (or some other directory of your
choosing). Use this installation image to create an installable
package for your platform.
distreboot's application properties must be configured by the
installation script. The default configuration installs
distreboot in /usr/local/sbin, and the property
file in /usr/local/etc. The installation script
should then execute the following, as part of distreboot package
instllation:
properties --set /usr/local/etc/distreboot.properties /usr/local/sbin/distreboot
Adjust the directories according to any non-default options to the configure script. Alternatively, if your platform's installable package format preserves extended file attributes, this can be executed as part of the package build script, and have include the distreboot binary, with the extended attribute that points to the property file, in the installable package. See properties(1) for more information.
