Packaging : provide tarball
Added by Jean Remond over 12 years ago. Updated about 7 years ago.
Description
It would be much easier to install on unsupported distributions if you provide a tarball.
A clear list of dependencies would be a great help to install on different distributions.
Updated by Jean Remond over 12 years ago
For the existing packages, another approach could be to provide two packages :
- one standalone (the existing one)
- one with dependencies
(I do not know if that's enough for a new question)

We now provide a source tarball, with all the sources of Rudder in a single archive. See http://www.rudder-project.org/foswiki/Download/WebHome#Sources.
I understand that this doesn't completely answer your needs, and a compiled tarball might be of more use to you. We are working on this.

Could you provide a tarball with rudder-agent sources ?

rudder-agent is basically CFEngine + FusionInventory + initial promises from the above tarball (rudder-policy-templates/initial-promises/nodeInitialPromises/ in http://www.rudder-project.org/archives/).
Currently, we use the Makefile from https://github.com/Normation/rudder-packages/tree/master/rudder-agent/SOURCES (just run "make" in that directory) to get these tools.
Do you think a tarball including the sources (and exact versions) for each of these would be useful too? We could probably add them to the rudder-sources tarball, as it's true that they are very central to being able to use Rudder.

In fact the initial question should have been better phrased as :
Could you provide a tarball with everything in order to run the agent on various linux distributions ?
My purpose here is to have a rudder client running on Fedora 16 as simply as possible :-)
I think two tarballs :
- rudder-server-source
- rudder-agent-source
would be the best option.

Related to this, there is now documentation on how to build rudder-agent on a platform that we don't have packages for yet: http://www.rudder-project.org/foswiki/Development/AgentBuild

We now provide a clean makefile in the package source.
This means that you can build and install the agent easily (make build and make install) on any node.

- Status changed from New to Rejected
We now provide a clean makefile and documentation to build the agent.
We cannot provide a tarball since the agent contains binaries that are specific to each distribution.
