Merge the esmond_manage Debian patch upstream #59

Closed laeti-tia closed 7 years ago

laeti-tia commented 7 years ago

In the Debian packages we use a script and a config file to setup the default esmond environment variables and use the correct Python version. We should merge this patch upstream and use it in both CentOS6 and CentOS7 packages to help user create API keys and esmond account.

That would help streamline the esmond documentation, see https://github.com/perfsonar/docs/issues/24 for reference.

If we could link the proposed esmond_manage script from /usr/bin/ or /usr/sbin we could use the same documentation for CentOS and Debian.

Reopening because now that the script lives in master, we need to remove the Debian patches that exist in the debian/jessie and debian/wheezy branch and make sure the new script is properly packaged in the .deb.

Debian packages updated and tested to work correctly. Also updated the esmond RPM package to create /usr/sbin/esmond_manage symlink so the script can be started by the root user. Documentation updated in the 4.0rc3 branch, let me know if the change should be copied to master.
