Install myami-2.2 on guppy¶

The following describes myami-2.2 installation on guppy running CentOS 6.

Before we start, make sure to set up an RPM build environment under CentOS. Notice that rpmbuild is building in /root/rpmbuild on CentOS 6.

We use myami-2.2.spec to build rpm package for myami-2.2.spec.

Name:           myami
Version:        2.2
Release:        757
Source0:        %{name}-%{version}.tar.gz
License:        Apache

BuildRoot:      %{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-%{release}-root

...

The Prefix tag here shows that, by default, rpm will install our files under /opt/myami-2.2.

For our automated build procedure we use buildMyamiSnapshot-2.2.py. Line 6 in buildMyamiSnapshot-2.2.py defines where myami-2.2.spec is stored:

specFile = '/root/rpmbuild/SPECS/myami-2.2.spec'

In other words, we need to store attached myami-2.2.spec under /root/rpmbuild/SPECS. Line 7 in buildMyamiSnapshot-2.2.py defines workingDir as:

workingDir = '/root/src/myami-2.2'

This workingDir where we need to checkout myami-2.2 files to:

cd /root/src
svn co http://emg.nysbc.org/svn/myami/branches/myami-2.2

In order to run buildMyamiSnapshot-2.2.py nightly, add the following to /var/spool/cron/root:

55 22 * * * /root/bin/buildMyamiSnapshot-2.2.py

Summary¶

Attached myami-2.2.spec and buildMyamiSnapshot-2.2.py are used get the latest myami-2.2 files from SVN, build and create rpm package, and install myami-2.2 under /opt/myami-2.2.
