Package Generation Notes for gsutil
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Gsutil can be distributed in one of three ways:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. legacy mode - User unpacks archive file into a private directory tree
|
||
|
|
and maintains his/her own private copy of gsutil, boto, etc. This is the
|
||
|
|
only supported installation mode for Windows users.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. enterprise mode - User unpacks the gsutil archive file and runs
|
||
|
|
'python setup.py install' (as root), which installs everything into
|
||
|
|
a shared directory tree (/usr/share/gsutil) with a symlink from
|
||
|
|
/usr/bin/gsutil to /usr/share/gsutil/gsutil to provide easy access to
|
||
|
|
the shared gsutil command. In enterprise mode, the software gets installed
|
||
|
|
in one shared location, which makes it easier to install, update and
|
||
|
|
manage gsutil for a community of users.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
NOTE: Enterprise mode (installing gsutil via setup.py) is no longer
|
||
|
|
officially supported - unpacking the zip file into a directory is the
|
||
|
|
preferred method for installing gsutil for both shared and private
|
||
|
|
configurations.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. rpm mode - User installs the gsutil rpm package file on a Red Hat
|
||
|
|
Linux system using the rpm command. The resulting installation image
|
||
|
|
looks precisely the same as the results of installing with enterprise
|
||
|
|
mode, i.e. a shared directory tree (/usr/share/gsutil) with a symlink
|
||
|
|
from /usr/bin/gsutil. rpm mode is intended for enterprises that want
|
||
|
|
a stable release that does not necessarily contain the latest changes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
All three modes derive their inventory from a common text file called
|
||
|
|
MANIFEST.in. If you want to add one or more new files or directories,
|
||
|
|
you only need to edit that one file and all three installation modes
|
||
|
|
will automatically inherit the change(s).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
GENERATING PACKAGE FILES
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
First update the VERSION file and the gsutil.spec files to reflect the
|
||
|
|
new version number.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Legacy mode and enterprise mode are both embodied in the same gsutil
|
||
|
|
archive file, the only difference being that the latter entails running
|
||
|
|
one additional command after unpacking the gsutil archive file. So the
|
||
|
|
same archive file we've always distributed for gsutil will be used for
|
||
|
|
both legacy and enterprise installation modes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For rpm mode, there's a new tool call pkg_gen.sh, which when run with no
|
||
|
|
arguments creates an rpm file at this location:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$HOME/rpmbuild/RPMS/noarch/gsutil-2.0-1.noarch.rpm
|
