YAIMGEN2

Checkout

The command:

svn co svn+ssh://<afs login>@svn.cern.ch/reps/yaimgen/yaimgen2/trunk

can be used to check out the head version of the source code.

Use:

svn co svn+ssh://<afs login>@svn.cern.ch/reps/yaimgen/yaimgen2/tags/rel-0_1

in order to checkout a ~stable version tested on SLC4 and SLC5 (UI, WN, BDII).

Basic usage

Usage: ./yaimgen.sh <action> {<input file>|<function>}
 <action> = {preinstall|installdef|install|preconfigure|configure|prepare|function}:
  'preinstall'   - create repo files
  'installdef'   - preinstall + install default packages
  'install'      - install a service
  'preconfigure' - install a service and prepare the configuration
  'configure'    - install and configure a service
  'prepare'      - prepare installation and configuration without calling yum nor yaim
  'function'     - just call the given function
 <input file> = a text file specifying repository type and a service and/or patch to install/configure
 <function> = a yaimgen function to call

Note: When a patch is installed the repo file has enabled=0 by default. In order to actually install the patch you have to run: yum --enablerepo=patchXXXX update

The syntax of the input file and the functions that can be called are explained in the README file.

In order to set up a test user to get a working proxy you can use:

./yaimgen.sh function yg_setup_test_user_1

and then you can use voms-proxy-init.

SLC5 Installations

In order to install an SLC5 metapackage you have to modify two variables in yaimgen.conf:

YG_GLITEVERSION="3.2"
YG_SLTAG=sl5
