Torque

Getting the source code

Go to http://www.adaptivecomputing.com/products/open-source/torque/torque-archived-versions-library/ to download the 3.0.4 version.

Prerequisites

Install the devtoolset-2 and rpm-build packages to compile and build the RPMs.

    wget -O /etc/yum.repos.d/slc6-devtoolset.repo     http://linuxsoft.cern.ch/cern/devtoolset/slc6-devtoolset.repo
    yum install devtoolset-2
    yum install rpm-build

Building the Torque RPMs.

    rpmbuild -tb --define '_prefix /opt/torque-3.0.4' --define '_with-rcp rcp --enable-clients'  torque-3.0.4.tar.gz

RPMs are generated in /root/rpmbuild/.

We can pass the compilation options with --define '_variable _value'. To see the possible options, untar the torque-3.0.4.tar.gz file and edit the torque.spec file. Variables are named like %{_variable}.

For example the file defines %{_prefix} to pass --define '_prefix /opt/torque-3.0.4' as an option to rpmbuild. Note that you have to remove %{}.

MAUI

Getting the source code

Go to http://www.adaptivecomputing.com/wpfb-file/maui-3-3-1-tar-gz-2/ to download the version 3.3.1.

Torque installation

You need to install Torque to build the MAUI RPM..

    yum localinstall /root/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/torque-*.rpm

MAUI compilation

    tar zxvf maui-3.3.1.tar.gz
    cd maui-3.3.1
    ./configure --prefix=/opt/maui-3.3.1 --with-pbs=/opt/torque-3.0.4
    make

Building the RPM with fpm

fpm installation

    yum install rubygems ruby-devel
    gem install fpm

MAUI Makefile modification for fpm

fpm can build an RPM package from a makefile defining the target make install DESTDIR=/path/to/install.

We have to adapt the MAUI makefile with:

    sed -i'.bkp' 's/\$(INST_DIR)/\$(DESTDIR)\/\$(INST_DIR)/g' src/*/Makefile
    sed -i'' 's/\$(MSCHED_HOME)/\$(DESTDIR)\/\$(MSCHED_HOME)/g' src/*/Makefile

Preparing the fpm resources

Installing MAUI in a temporary directory:

    DESTDIR=/tmp/maui make install

Setting up the initialisation scripts:

    mkdir /tmp/maui/usr
    mkdir /tmp/maui/etc
    mkdir /tmp/maui/etc/profile.d
    mkdir /tmp/maui/etc/init.d
    cp etc/maui.d /tmp/maui/etc/init.d/
    cp etc/maui.{csh,sh} /tmp/maui/etc/profile.d/

Then edit the /tmp/maui/etc/init.d/maui.d file to set the variable MAUI_PREFIX=/opt/maui-3.3.1.

Create a file /tmp/maui/post-install.sh with:

#!/bin/bash
chkconfig --add maiu.d
chkconfig --level 3456 maui.d on

Create a file /tmp/maui/pre-uninstall.sh with:

#!/bin/bash
chkconfig --del maui.d

Building the RPM

    fpm -s dir -t rpm -n maui -v 3.3.1 -C /tmp/maui \
-p /tmp/maui-3.3.1-x86_64-fpmbuild.rpm --post-install /tmp/maui/post-install.sh \
--pre-uninstall /tmp/maui/pre-uninstall.sh etc usr opt

The package is created in /tmp/maui-3.3.1-x86_64-fpmbuild.rpm.

Checking the RPM

    rpm -q --filesbypkg -p /tmp/maui-3.3.1-x86_64-fpmbuild.rpm
