  2. Need: A method for users to download & install the initial SSS suite offering later this summer/fall. Proposal: Leverage the OSCAR framework to package and distribute the SSS suite.

  3. OSCAR Framework • Cluster configuration & installation facility • Core: SIS, C3, ODA, Env-Switcher • OSCAR Package Facility • RPMs + meta file + scripts (optional items in italics) • Package classes: core, selected, & third-party • OSCAR Package Downloader (OPD)

  4. Capabilities • Package API • Bundle software (RPM) with a sane configuration • Scripts fire for configs outside of RPM %pre, %post • User input config using simple HTML forms method • Simple testing framework for packages • Meta data in XML, enhancements being added for improved multi-distro/release expressiveness • OSCAR Package Downloader (OPD) • CPAN-like facility for remote package acquisition • Some packages already included: LAM (BLCR coming soon), MAUI, also have an SSSLib and most of a Qbank

  5. Requirements • Follow directory structure • RPM form of software • Currently (oscar-2.2): RH 7.2/7.3, MDK 8.2 • Create tar.gz archive of pkg and make available in SSS release or an SSS OPD repository • Optional items: • Create XML meta file, e.g., config.xml • Perl scripts for additional cluster configs, e.g., post_install • Simple tests to verify pkg install • Documentation and licensing info • IA32 & IA64 forms • Include SRPMs

  6. Conclusion • Package authors must create RPMs for their SSS packages – then roll up as OSCAR Pkgs. • Users will be able to download individual packages or possibly have an oscar-sss release and install, configure for a working version.
