Product Team Deployment Tests using ETICS

How To

• Prepare a Metapackage for your product as described in https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/EGEE/ProdInt#Creating_a_metapackage_with_ETIC
• Launch an ETICS build of the metapackage as described in https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/EGEE/ProdInt#Prepare_the_metapackage_in_ETICS by setting the parameter --urlname to for ex. VOMS-SL5.
• The step above will create the yum repository with a pre-defined name, as for ex http://etics-repository.cern.ch:8080/repository/pm/volatile/repomd/name/VOMS-SL5
• Under the 'Test commands' of the Metapackage etics configuration write a script instructing to create a repo file with the following:

  [ETICS-name-VOMS-SL5]
  name=ETICS Repository of VOMS-SL5
  baseurl=http://etics-repository.cern.ch:8080/repository/pm/volatile/repomd/name/VOMS-SL5
  protect=0
  enabled=1
  gpgcheck=0

  and copying it into /etc/yum.repos.d/

• • See for ex. the following script:

    cd /etc/yum.repos.d/; wget http://etics-repository.cern.ch:8080/repository/pm/volatile/repomd/name/VOMS-SL5/etics-volatile-build-by-id-protect.repo;

• Add the instruction 'yum install metapackage_name' to the script
• Launch an ETICS 'remote test' by selecting the "Run as Root" feature

Open Issues

• There is a problem with the 'Run as Root' feature, Etics people are working on it to make it available also for 'sl5_86_64' DONE
