INSTALL

There are prerequisites for building a xsconsole for XenServer.
All the following must be installed, either by visiting the
project webpage or installing a pre-built package provided by 
your OS distributor:
    * RPM build
    * Redhat rpm config (if debuginfo is required)
    * Development install of Python v2.3 or later (e.g., python-devel)
    * Development install of bzip2 (e.g.,bzip2-devel)


Follow these steps to build an RPM.

1. Clone the xsconsole git repository to /some/path/xsconsole

2. To obtain a tarballs of source for both the base and the plugin-oem run
   the following commands:

    git archive --prefix=xsconsole/ HEAD  Makefile  xsconsole LICENSE '*.py' \
         'plugins-base/*py' | bzip2 -c > xsconsole.tar.bz2

    git archive --prefix=xsconsole/ HEAD  LICENSE 'plugins-oem/*py' | \
         bzip2 -c > xsconsole-plugins-oem.tar.bz2

3. Replace with correct version numbers to create the spec file:
     sed -e s\,@XS_VERSION@,6.2.50,g\
         -e s\,@XS_RELEASE@,385,g\
	  < ./mk/xsconsole.spec.in  \
	  > xsconsole.spec

     sed -e s\,@XS_VERSION@,6.2.50,g\
         -e s\,@XS_RELEASE@,385,g\
	  < ./mk/xsconsole-plugins-oem.spec.in  \
	  > xsconsole-plugins-oem.spec

4. Move xsconsole.tar.bz2 to /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/
   Move xsconsole.spec    to /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/
   Move xsconsole-plugins-oem.tar.bz2 to /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/
   Move xsconsole-plugins-oem.spec    to /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/
	      
5. To build the RPMs run:
     cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/
     rpmbuild -ba xsconsole.spec --target noarch
     rpmbuild -ba xsconsole-plugins-oem.spec --target noarch
			  
6. Install using
     rpm -ivh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/noarch/xsconsole*.rpm
