Karesansui Bug Tracker

Hello,

I would like to try karesansui on a DEB based linux system (ubuntu 10.10, maverick) and this proved to be difficult.

It would be much easier if you would seperate installation and configuration by splitting karesansui-install in two scripts: one for controlling the rpm package installed (that I could obmit) and one configurating the application.

Alternative, please provide some information how to install karesansui from source (with configuration by hand).

Cheers,

Hello,

Thank you in your interest.

We do not test on the unsupported Linux distributions, but it may be possible to work if the following softwares is properly installed in your system.

Sorry, you are doing so at your own risk.

• libvirt >= 0.8.0
  This software need to patch for Karesansui. The patches are included with SPEC file in Source RPM. Please check the content of SPEC file, then compile.

• python-libvirt >= 0.8.0

• lighttpd >= 1.4

• openssl >= 0.9.8

• python-mako >= 0.2.4

• python-sqlalchemy >= 0.5.5

• python-flup >= 1.0

• python-pysqlite >= 2.5

• python-simplejson >= 2.0.7

• python-webpy >= 0.3

• qemu >=0.11

• tightvnc-java >= 1.3

• karesansui
  Fetch the karesansui source code from the git repository(on sourceforge).
  Install by executing commands below.

python setup.py build

python setup.py install

• pysilhouette
  Fetch the pysilhouette source code from the git repository(on sourceforge).
  Install by executing commands below.

python setup.py build

python setup.py install

And, on seperating installation from configuration, the current install script can work in the several modes, so that it can skip the RPM installation phase.
The 'mode' option of karesansui-install will enable the customized installation.

Specifying '--mode FLAG_CREATE_ADM:FLAG_CONFIG_DB:FLAG_CREATE_CRT:FLAG_WRITE_CONF:FLAG_CONFIG_PROXY:FLAG_CONFIG_MAIL' will skip the RPM installation. The default mode is FLAG_DO_ALL.

Thank you in advance.
