Re: [AG-TECH] CentOS RPMs

Hi Ian,


I am working on installing a CentOS 4.1 based Access Grid Node, and
want to roll my own RPMs. So, opinions on the best route to go?
As far as I know, CentOS 4.1 is based on RHEL 4, which in turn is based on FC3, so it may be simpler to just install the FC3 RPMs.

I could rebuild the FC3 SRPMs from Doug Kosovic, or I can build
everything by hand and roll them that way. Advice?
The globus-accessgrid and AccessGrid RPMs can only be built by hand (as I don't provide SRPMs) per the instructions on:
http://www.vislab.uq.edu.au/research/accessgrid/software/fedora/

Or are you talking about building and/or running from CVS?

The only SRPMs I provide in:
http://www.itee.uq.edu.au/~agn/ag_fedora/FC3/stable/SRPMS/
are:
gpt-3.0.1-3.src.rpm
openoffice.org-pyuno-1.1.1-1.src.rpm
wxmozilla-0.5.4-1.src.rpm

gpt is used to build globus
openoffice.org-pyuno is for the SharedPresentation shared app. It's only a psuedo SRPM that contains a pre-built built pyuno Python module (it would have been a modified 150MB OpenOffice SRPM otherwise).
wxmozilla is for SharedBrowser shared app.

SRPMs for wxPython and wxGTK can be obtained from Fedora Extras 3:
http://fedoraproject.org/extras/3/SRPMS/

wxPython and wxGTK would need to be installed before you start building the AccessGrid RPM.

Also, my old config was audio and video boxes were Linux boxes and
display and control were on a single Win2K box. For the best use of
shared apps, should I stick to this, or make them all Linux?
All of the standard AGTk shared apps work on Fedora, but as to if you decide to use Linux as your dispay PC is your choice. If you expect to use SharedPresentation a bit, you may sometimes encounter problems with OpenOffice rendering PowerPoint slides.
