[rancid] Re: RANCID :: RPM

[Lance Vermilion]

John,

Any chance the already included SPEC file can be updated with what I
have here so it will work with RANCID-2.3.4 right away? It might also
be of help to others to have the rpmbuild instructions...especially if
they want an RPM but aren't really familiar with building an RPM.

All,

After slightly modifying the spec file to match the current version
"2.3.4" everything seems to work without an issue. It does an install
(at least on CentOS 5.2) to /usr/bin/clogin...etc created a rancid
user directory of /var/rancid and copies the .cloginrc there just
fine.

For those that don't know how to create and rpm from a spec file. Here
are some short bits of info.
Follow the link below to setup your CentOS.
http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/SetupRpmBuildEnvironment

#
# Short Instructions:
#
Assumptions: It is assumed you have Expect 5.40 or greater installed,
your Time/Date are current, and you are not logged in as root.

Install rpm-build if it isn't already: sudo yum install rpm-build
Install redhat-rpm-config if it isn't already: sudo yum install
redhat-rpm-config
Create a build environment for your user (DO NOT USE ROOT): mkdir -p
~/rpmbuild/{BUILD,RPMS,SOURCES,SPECS,SRPMS} Create your RPM macros
(it is assumed you have do not have a .rpmmacros file): echo '%_topdir
%(echo $HOME)/rpmbuild' > ~/.rpmmacros
Install Make if it isn't already: sudo yum install make
Install gcc if it isn't already: sudo yum install gcc
Download RANCID 2.3.4: wget
ftp://ftp.shrubbery.net/pub/rancid/rancid-2.3.4.tar.gz
Copy the RANCID tar.gz where rpmbuild will look for it: cp
rancid-2.3.4.tar.gz ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES/
Create the RPM spec file (see below for file contents): vi
~/rpmbuild/SPEC/rancid-2.3.4.spec
Change to the SPEC directory: cd ~/rpmbuild/SPEC/
Create the RPM/SRPMs: rpmbuild -ba rancid.2.3.4.spec

Copy/paste what I have below to the
"~/rpmbuild/SPEC/rancid-2.3.4.spec". Exclude ### Start and ###Stop
when you copy/paste.

%description
Rancid is a "Really Awesome New Cisco confIg Differ" developed to
maintain CVS controlled copies of router configs. Rancid is not limited
to Cisco devices. It currently supports Cisco routers, Juniper routers,
Catalyst switches, Foundry switches, Redback NASs, ADC EZT3 muxes, MRTd
(and thus likely IRRd), Alteon switches, and HP procurve switches and a
host of others.

%description lg
RANCID also includes looking glass software. It is based on Ed Kern's
looking glass which was once used for http://nitrous.digex.net/, for the
old-school folks who remember it. Our version has added functions, supports
cisco, juniper, and foundry and uses the login scripts that come with
rancid; so it can use telnet or ssh to connect to your devices(s).
