perfsonar development work

[Maciej Glowiak <>]

Hi,

I am getting errors trying to run rpm_maker.pl script. I've read the 
guide document, but it doesn't help. Maybe I missed another document?

Running the script for the first time (having default properties already 
set up) I get:
====================================================================
mac@reed:/home/perfsonar$
 perl rpm_maker.pl
-- perfSONAR web services RPM maker --
Enter service summary [XML Lookup Service]:
Enter service name [XML-LS]:
Enter service version [1.2]:
Enter service dependencies [perfsonar-tomcat >= 6.0.7 , perfsonar-exist 
>= 1.1.1]:
Enter service description [perfSONAR XML Lookup Service]:
Last entered message to user after installation:

Use that one (y/n) [n]?y
XML-LS-1.2/
error: File /usr/src/rpm/SOURCES/XML-LS-1.2.tar.gz: No such file or 
directory
====================================================================

Running it for the second time:
====================================================================
mac@reed:/home/perfsonar$
 perl rpm_maker.pl
-- perfSONAR web services RPM maker --
Enter service summary [XML Lookup Service]:
Enter service name [XML-LS]:
Enter service version [1.2]:
Enter service dependencies [perfsonar-tomcat >= 6.0.7 , perfsonar-exist 
>= 1.1.1]:

mkdir: cannot create directory `rpm/BUILD': File exists
mkdir: cannot create directory `rpm/RPMS': File exists

mkdir: cannot create directory `rpm/SRPMS': File exists

There was a problem creating the source file directory (which will have 
the webapps directory inside it).
Try doing it manually (mkdir XML-LS-1.2) and check what's wrong.
====================================================================

So, some questions:

1. What should I do before running rpm_maker.pl? Let's suppose I created 
/home/perfsonar and have got compiled and configured service (for 
instance: /home/mac/projects/perfsonar/trunk/geant2_java-xml-ls)

2. What else do I need? (sources? why the 
/usr/src/rpm/SOURCES/XML-LS-1.2.tar.gz is missing?)

3. Now, there is a requirement to have the /home/perfsonar directory in 
order to create RPM. What if I want to create RPM as non-root user using 
my own directory? Couldn't it be configurable?

Best regards
Maciej
