Need to patch detect_os.sh for slackware support :
elif [ -f /etc/slackware-version ]; then
export OS="slackware"
+ export OSVERSION=$(cat /etc/slackware-version | awk '{ print $2 }')

perl-prepare.sh need to be patched to find perl module install on building host

File rudder-agent_4.1.5_Slackware64-14.2.tar.gz rudder-agent_4.1.5_Slackware64-14.2.tar.gz added

Build rudder-agent 4.1.5 on slackware64 14.2

requires : lmdb (disponible sur slackbuild.org)

Get sources :
wget http://www.rudder-project.org/archives/rudder-sources-4.1.5.tar.bz2

Get SBo archive (in attacment issue 8028)
tar xzf rudder-agent-4.1.5_SBo.tar.gz

archive contents :
Makefile # Makefile patched
README # this file
build_rudder-agent.log # logs from slackbuild script
doinst.sh # post-installation script (need by slackware packages)
rudder-agent.SlackBuild # Script to build package
rudder-agent.info # Application informations (need by SBo)
rudder-packages_rudder-agent_SOURCES_Makefile.patch # Patch for Makefile
slack-desc # Package description (need by slackware packages)

What does the rudder-packages_rudder-agent_SOURCES_Makefile.patch ?
- create a directory for fusioninventory :
- check if system is slackware and set --with-pam=no --without-pam into configure of cfengine

Build package :
cd rudder-agent
sh rudder-agent.SlackBuild
press the button of the coffee machine
wait (7 mins on my vm)

Install package :
installpkg /tmp/rudder-agent-4.1.5-x86_64-1_SBo.tgz

Initiate agent :
echo "rudder.server" > /var/rudder/cfengine-community/policy_server.dat

Start agent :
/etc/rc.d/rc.rudder-agent start

What can we do with a node with this package ?
- Add node into rudder server
- Get policies from rudder server
- Use directive like ''' Ditributing file > File content '''
- Use rudder agent methods (little bugs with restart services)
- Surely other things

What cannot we do for the moment ?
- Have de compliance report of the node
- Install package with a directive
- Surely other things

What next ?

I work on two problems :

- bugs when agent try to restart services
On slackware, there are no init script for cron, it's just start with system
I have make one for test but I don't think cfengine understand what init scripts are into /etc/rc.d and named rc.<SERVICE_NAME>
I look at cron-setup.cf and restart_services.cf into common/1.0 but I could not find where or what modify to tell cfengine
I saw that cfengine supports slackware in Operating System Classes (https://docs.cfengine.com/docs/master/reference-language-concepts-classes.html)
but at this point I'm blocked

- have a report from the node
Slackware 14.2 use sysklogd 1.5.1 and I think it's maybe the problem
It's possible to build syslog-ng or rsyslog. So I need to know which of them is the more efficient for rudder-agent

:o)

Thks a lot to Normation
Your work into the Makefile make my life easier !!

Updated by Jérémy HOCDÉ over 7 years ago

I have installed rsyslog 8.26.0 and it's the same :(
when I run agent, it detect changing configuration and create /etc/rsyslog.d/rudder-agent.conf :o)

I have into my logs /var/log/messages

rsyslog config file :

#Rudder log system
$RepeatedMsgReduction off

if $syslogfacility-text 'local6' and $programname startswith 'rudder' then @rudder.asacode.lab:5514
if $syslogfacility-text 'local6' and $programname startswith 'rudder' then ~
if $syslogfacility-text 'local6' and $programname startswith 'cf-agent' then @rudder.asacode.lab:5514
if $syslogfacility-text 'local6' and $programname startswith 'cf-agent' then ~

but it don't seem to be sent to rudder server
