retitle 351688 slurm-llnl -- Simple Linux Utility for Resource Management
thanks

There's a package in Debian already called slrum.  I'm retitling this
RFP to something else now, just to avoid collision, but it's certainly
not a good name...

If someone packages this, they should talk to upstream about this name
collision.

Hi,

How is work progressing regarding the packaging of slurm(-llnl) for
Debian? Are you still working on it, are you having difficulties or is
it postponed? I saw two messages regarding slurm-llnl on debian-mentors,
but no follow ups.

New version of the debs can be found here:
http://www.na.icar.cnr.it/~oliva/debs/slurm-llnl/
http://www.na.icar.cnr.it/~oliva/debs/munge
New packages have debconf confugration and try to fix all the problems
pointed out on the debian-mentors list. I would be very happy if you could
review/test the package.
Thanks

I will follow up on debian-mentors, since we have a larger audience and
chance for input there.

For bts reference, look at this thread:

Hi Gennaro,

are you still looking for a sponsor to upload munge and slurm to Debian?
If this is the case, I'm willing to do it.

OK, I started to have a look at the munge packages, first.

Let me warn you: these are complicated packages and they will need a lot
of work.

Random remarks:
      * The secret key should be created using /dev/random,
        not /dev/urandom which is not secure.
      * The init script is *much* too complicated. I think you should
        write one from scratch.
      * You should create a specific user for running the munge daemon.
        This is also something that shouldn't be configurable
        in /etc/default/munge.
      * libmunge2 (= ${source:Version}) is wrong, you need
        ${binary:Version} (in which case you have to add a
        build-dependency on dpkg-dev 1.13.19) or ${Source-Version}.
      * The descriptions aren't clear. If you're not fluent with
        English, maybe you can ask on debian-l10n-en@lists.debian.org
        for help.
      * There isn't a real need to call the development package
        libmunge2-dev. libmunge-dev will be enough, as there aren't that
        many things depending on munge.
      * The prerm script should stop the daemon.
      * You should remove the preinst script if it does nothing.
      * debian/munge-dev.* files probably mean debian/libmunge-dev.
      * The debconf questions aren't clear. Also, if you're pointing at
        instructions in README.Debian, you don't need to repeat them in
        the debconf note.
      * Why the config.sub and config.guess files? Is upstream not
        shipping them?

I'll have to make a more thorough check later, but this should give you
some hints on how to improve the package.

The problem with /dev/random is that it is very slow especially if there
is no mouse connected to the system to gain entropy.
That's why I used urandom and suggested the user to read about other
possibility in the README.Debian. I have switched to /dev/random now.
Can you please suggest a way to gain enough entropy during the
installation process?

I have removed the instruction for non-Debian system by the script.

The user is set in the init script now and the comment have been removed by
the default file.

The libmunge dependency have been modified to "${binary:Version}".

I have modified the description with the help of the author and some
people on the mentors irc channel. Is it more clear now?

These modifications have been done.

The preinst script now creates the munge user.

Names have been corrected.

The debconf note have been removed.

Yes they are shipped, there were some wrong instructions left in the
dh_make generated rules.
Thanks for your help

Subject: slurm now in Debian

Date: Sat, 28 Jul 2007 22:19:37 -0500

As slurm-llnl packages are now in Debian's unstable branch (thanks to a lot of
work by Gennaro),  I am closing this older RFP / ITP bug report.
