Update install howto & contrib re rockstor-build.service #470

Closed phillxnet closed 5 months ago

phillxnet commented 6 months ago

With the release of our new installers (including rockstor v5.0.9-0) we have an initial delay, and associated PyPi access requirement, re our newly established in our last testing phase rockstor-build.service: which does some install prep and runs build.sh. This can take some time: in the order of a couple of minutes on slower hardware such as the Pi4.

It is proposed that we add an additional note in our intaller howto: https://rockstor.com/docs/installation/installer-howto.html to prepare folks to expect this initial install delay. Previously we ran build.sh in the rpmbuild %posttrans scriptlet: but this became unworkable and impractical.

This could well be just a note within the following existing section:

https://rockstor.com/docs/installation/installer-howto.html#wait-for-the-rockstor-bootstrapping-tasks

with some reference to this same build delay on every rpm update.

We also have need to update our services list in our developer contribution doc section:

https://rockstor.com/docs/contribute/contribute.html#code-build

has reference to a now outdated list of our services: noting here in case these changes could come under this same issue re the new rockstor-build.service introduced towards the end of our current testing channel phase.
