[BioBrew Users] Roll problem install

[Glen Otero]

Hi Jerome-

I used the roll-building capability of rocks-dist this time in  
building the BioBrew roll instead of building it by hand in the Rocks  
CVS directory (which is a major pain in the ass). Unfortunately, it  
looks like the assumptions I made about rocks-dist, like its ability  
to build a roll that will install the applications and build a  
kickstart xml file, were wrong. You'll have to install all the  
applications yourself with rpm -i and manually build an XML kickstart  
file. You might see a dependency for SGE. If so, then use rpm -i -- 
force --nodeps to install the rpms. You should be able to find the  
other kickstart files somewhere under  /export/home/install/rocks- 
dist/, probably in a build/ directory. Look for roll-ganglia.xml or  
other roll xml file and modify that to create roll-biobrew.xml. This  
can then be placed with the other xml files and should incorporate  
the biobrew roll when running rocks-dist.

Sorry for the hassle. When you sort it out, could you post how you  
did it to the list?

Thanks!!

Glen
