I am trying to install the Cluster RPMS from rpm.karan.org. But since I have updated my kernel with yum, I have the wrong kernel for a couple of the packages.
I think I can just grab the source RPM and do a rebuild, but having never attempted that before, I just want to make sure I'm not missing anything. (I have built RPMs from source tarballs, so I know how to setup the build environment)
It looks like I can just do this:
# rpmbuild --rebuild cman-kernel-2.6.9-36.0.src.rpm
Is there anything else I need to do?
Just simple rebuilds will work, you might need to work out what order they are built in - and some pkgs like the cman-kernel need a specified --target i686 passed in via the rpmbuild.
Hmmm...no luck there. It still wants the older kernel.
For the *-kernel packages, you'll have to rpm -i the src.rpm, edit the spec file, and rebuild from that.
Making progress here. One more question and I think I'll be done.
I installed the source package and edited the spec file to change the kernel version and remove the fake-build-provides requirement (as I can't seem to find it and it appears to be safe to remove based on a previous conversation on this list).
I still have a build requirement for the kernel-hugemem package. I don't have the hugemem kernel installed and I'm just trying to build the smp package. Is it safe to remove this dependency if all I care about is the smp package?
$ rpmbuild -bb --target=i686 rpm/SPECS/cman-kernel.spec Building target platforms: i686 Building for target i686 error: Failed build dependencies: kernel-hugemem = 2.6.9-22.0.1.EL is needed by cman-kernel-2.6.9-36.0.i686
Thanks, Bowie
