Download rpms from redhat using download script {{{ from vw: sudo su - distrib ./tools/do-only-download-rhel }}} This will download the rpms and show a list of rpms that are to be built. Build the rpms using the build script (easiest) {{{ from vw: sudo su - build build /path/to/downloaded/rpm /path/to/next/rpm /more/rpms }}} This will place the RPMS in /data/done-local[56]/staging-signing You next need to sign the rpms {{{ sudo su - signing rpm --addsign /data/done-local[56]/staging-signing/somethingsomething.rpm }}} RPMs need to be signed on the appropriate system. Springdale 5 should use cc, Springdale 6 should use jetta. After signing the rpms, you need to merge them. {{{ sudo su - distrib cp /data/done-local6/staging-signing/somethingsomething.rpm /data/done-local6/staging do-merge-staging-updates-PUIAS-6.sh }}} if all looks good {{{ do-merge-staging-updates-PUIAS-6.sh -a -r }}} This should rebuild the yum repos, if all goes well, you need to sync the changes to the repo server (lowrie) So, from vw: {{{ ./PULinux/lowrie-sync }}} That will push the changes to puias.princeton.edu
