Hi All, I have built Lustre 2.5.50 RPMs against *kernel-2.6.32-358.18.1.el6* according to section 29.2 in http://build.whamcloud.com/job/lustre-manual/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact... (First I time I do this) All seems to have gone well, except that the resulting kernel RPM is the following: kernel-2.6.32358.18.1.el6_lustre.x86_64-1.x86_64.rpm (no dash between 32 and 358, it should be 32-358. All the lustre RPMs have a correct version embedded in the name. During the step _*Patch the Kernel Source with the Lustre Code*_ I have edited the EXTRAVERSION value in the Makefile like this: |*[build@ce02 rpmbuild]$ cd ~/kernel/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-2.6.32-358.18.1.el6/linux-2.6.32-358.18.1.el6.x86_64/*| Edit line 4 of the Makefile to look like this: *|[build@ce02 linux-2.6.32-358.18.1.el6.x86_64]$ grep EXTRAVERSION Makefile|grep 86|*| EXTRAVERSION = -358.18.1.el6_lustre.x86_64| | | |which I think is what the documentation says. Is this correct?| | | |Many thanks for any help,| Gianfranco _______________________________________________ HPDD-discuss mailing list HPDD-discuss(a)lists.01.org https://lists.01.org/mailman/listinfo/hpdd-discuss

[RHEL] RPM uses the format <name>-<ver>-<rel> for file names. RPM doesn't allow hyphens in the version or release fields as this is used to delimit the version number from the release number. You can have as many hyphens as you like in the file name, though :). So the build strips these characters from the EXTRAVERSION variable to keep RPM on an even keel.

If you are happy with kernel 2.6.32-358.11.1.el6, for 2.1.6 you don't need to do anything, just use what is available at http://downloads.whamcloud.com/public/lustre/lustre-2.1.6/el6/. If you want to rebuild 2.1.6 then git clone git://git.whamcloud.com/fs/lustre-release.git cd lustre-release git checkout v2_1_6 should get you 2.1.6 source. - anthony On Wed, Oct 30, 2013 at 10:34 PM, Gianfranco Sciacca <gianfranco.sciacca(a)lhep.unibe.ch&gt; wrote: > Hi All, > > thanks, now I think I got all the details, as I would also need the "optional" RPMs. Except the Lustre version (sorry, I'm new to git): how do I check the source for 2.1.6 out, which is the one I really need to deploy? > > cheers > Gianfranco > > On 29 Oct 2013, at 22:15, Cowe, Malcolm J wrote: > >> [RHEL] RPM uses the format <name>-<ver>-<rel> for file names.
