RPM for SUSE #1

Closed eladroz closed 11 years ago

eladroz commented 11 years ago

Hi! Happy new year ;-)

Here's one small bit of the required work to get Sensu built & installed on suse variants.

The main motive is that SAP uses SLES for many big-boy products & clusters. Getting Suse support enables me to push Sensu into some serious installations.

Additional elements that need to go in:

  1. A new Veewee template for SLES 11SP2 - https://github.com/jedi4ever/veewee/pull/457. The existing SLES image is old & a bit broken, and so is the openSUSE one...I may try to address that as well.
  2. A fix for Vagrant itself, to successfully change the host name on suse (which sensu-build does) - https://github.com/mitchellh/vagrant/pull/1283 Seems it would be a while before Vagrant 1.1.0 is available, because it's a major change. I can easily provide a monkey patch for this in sensu-build, dependent on version - but that can wait I guess. Something for @portertech to also think about?
  3. Changes to sensu-build - https://github.com/eladroz/sensu-build/commit/1345785c0934af13b0cf8470a6c7a1da4dde7944 Did not make a pull request still, have to polish some details.

Bottom line, I built, installed & ran the Sensu components on both SLES11SP2 & openSUSE 12.1 (x64 versions only), for versions 0.9.7 & 0.9.9.beta.1 (not all variations tested thoguh...). I didn't try however to run rabbitmq / redis there yet, so connected to another server for now. If you & @portertech want all this stuff in, I'd be glad to follow up with the sensu-chef bits, and setting a suse-friendly repo.

Cheers, Elad

I would love to see support for SUSE, any time you can contribute would be much appreciated!

I would love to get those RPMs if you could put them on a public github repo, that would be awesome!

eladroz commented 11 years ago

Hi, See reference - we can now proceed to build for Suse "officially", with the temp. vagrant monkey-patch.

@failshell, i'd love to help so let me see what can be set-up at start of next week...

Terribly sorry, I did not see the email update when you originally opened this patch! Must have been due to holidays =)

You can find me on irc, btw - 'joemiller' @ freenode. Or the #sensu channel on freenode. Feel free to ping me.
