Rudder

Is it preventing installation on RHEL6 ? stopping installation process ?

Or just displaying an error ?

Was it after an installation or an upgrade ?

It was after an installation. It is just displaying an error, and the ncf init does not seem necessary in this directory.

In the install:

mkdir -p %{buildroot}%{ruddervardir}/configuration-repository/ncf/ncf-hooks.d

In the postinst:

# Do this ONLY at first install
if [ $1 -eq 1 ]
then
        echo -e '# This sources the configuration file needed by Rudder\n. /etc/sysconfig/rudder-apache' >> /etc/sysconfig/apache2
        echo 'DAVLockDB /tmp/davlock.db' > /etc/%{apache}/conf.d/dav_mod.conf

        mkdir -p /var/rudder/configuration-repository
        mkdir -p /var/rudder/configuration-repository/shared-files
        touch /var/rudder/configuration-repository/shared-files/.placeholder
        cp -a %{rudderdir}/share/techniques /var/rudder/configuration-repository/
        ncf init /var/rudder/configuration-repository/ncf
fi

and

# Create and populate technique store
if [ ! -d /var/rudder/configuration-repository ]; then mkdir -p /var/rudder/configuration-repository; fi
if [ ! -d /var/rudder/configuration-repository/shared-files ]; then mkdir -p /var/rudder/configuration-repository/shared-files; fi
if [ ! -d /var/rudder/configuration-repository/techniques ]; then
    cp -a %{rudderdir}/share/techniques /var/rudder/configuration-repository/
fi
if [ ! -d /var/rudder/configuration-repository/ncf ]; then
    ncf init /var/rudder/configuration-repository/ncf
fi

There are some redundant steps.

Great analysis !

Is the ncf init mandatory ? I don't think so

Maybe we could remove them

The ncf init is only executed on 2.10 versions.

Do you think we can remove it even from 2.10 or that it could be needed on this branch ?
