Rebuilding the RPM's

Not all variations of architectures are available for building Opsview - for this reason users with ppc or sparc processors will need to rebuild Opsview for themselves.

This can be done doing the following:

1. Ensure rpmforge repos are enabled - see https://rpmrepo.org/RPMforge/Using
2. Ensure the groups nagcmd and nagios exist - groupadd_nagios}
3. Ensure the user nagios exists - useradd_-g_nagios_-g_nagcmd_nagios}
4. Install 'rpmbuild' - i.e. yum_install_rpm-build}
5. Obtain the source rpm's from the download web site for base, perl, core and web
6. Run the following commands as root

mkdir $HOME/opsview_tmp
rpmbuild --buildroot=$HOME/opsview_tmp --rebuild opsview-base-<version>.src.rpm
rpmbuild --buildroot=$HOME/opsview_tmp --rebuild opsview-perl-<version>.src.rpm

1. If necessary, install any missing dependencies and rerun the rpmbuild steps

opsview-core and opsview-web do not need to be rebuild as they do not contain compiled code (only perl code and scripts) do rpm's with a matching version can be downloaded from the download site.

When completed, RPMs should be somewhere under /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/
