[Engine-devel] Fwd: [vdsm] ovirt-guest-agent on debian

[Sven Kieske]

Forwarding to engine devel, because it seems there is no interest in
this feature on vdsm-devel.

Could this get integrated somehow?
I managed to reuse the ubuntu build of ovirt-guest-agent for debian.

Hi,

I just did some additional research, here are my results:

on a clean debian 7 x64 VM inside oVirt:

I did as root:
apt-get install python-software-properties
add-apt-repository -y ppa:zhshzhou/vdsm-ubuntu

vim /etc/apt/sources.list.d/zhshzhou-vdsm-ubuntu-wheezy.list

change the following lines from:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/zhshzhou/vdsm-ubuntu/ubuntu wheezy main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/zhshzhou/vdsm-ubuntu/ubuntu wheezy main

to:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/zhshzhou/vdsm-ubuntu/ubuntu precise main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/zhshzhou/vdsm-ubuntu/ubuntu precise main

then:

apt-get update
apt-get install ovirt-guest-agent

You get an error:

Setting up ovirt-guest-agent (1.0.8.201309301944.gitb7f8f2-1ppa1) ...
chown: cannot access `/var/log/ovirt-guest-agent/ovirt-guest-agent.log':
No such file or directory

but it works:

ls -lashi /var/log/ovirt-guest-agent/ovirt-guest-agent.log
533212 4.0K -rw-r--r-- 1 ovirtagent ovirtagent 208 Mar 10 10:20
/var/log/ovirt-guest-agent/ovirt-guest-agent.log

service ovirt-guest-agent status
[ ok ] ovirt-guest-agent is running.

IP information shows up in ovirt.

it would be cool if the folder "precise" on the ppa could
be cloned to be a folder "wheezy".

So you would not need to change the apt-sources entries.

I don't know why this chown error occurs, but it seems to work!
