known bugs

There are still some bugs in this RPM... Help us to fix them!

ipdiscover bug

We need to confirm that ipdiscover works when the smeserver is the forced client.

I Tried the following:

ipdiscover eth0 10

	Note:
	Usage : ipdiscover [iface name] [latency in ms]

Here's what I got on my server:

<IPDISCOVER>
<H>192.168.0.100<M>00:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx</M><N>pc-00100.mydomain.com</N></H>
<H>192.168.0.253<M>00:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx</M><N>pc-00253.mydomain.com</N></H>
<H>192.168.0.254<M>00:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx</M><N>pc-00254.mydomain.com</N></H>
</IPDISCOVER>

Sounds like it's working for me... But IpDiscover discovers nothing when launched by SME OCS' Agent. There must be a problem here!

Windows Agent don't have this problem...

deployment deletion bug

When you delete a package, ocs complains, but it deletes the files anyway, document later

Stefen

The only way I was able to reproduce an error on package deletion is when I refreshed the page (as files were already removed, I got an error)

Could you be more clear on this bug? How did it happened?

add a package, deploy > activate > click on the red X

ERROR: Can't delete directory /opt/inventory/ocs/download/1194511477

I have documented that you can ignore the error, maybe i should say if you see the error you can ignore?

www/ocs/install.php bugs

Need to document this

SN - this was only related to not having ocsagent.exe, it was only cosmetic, can be removed, we don't use install.php maybe it should be removed

RPM 1-6

Job already done:

- Removed useless MySQL custom-template
- Removed ocsagent.exe and guide.pdf
- Upload limit fixed
- 'MaxUpload' DB entry added to set dynamically max upload file size (default still at 10M)
- Events moved to domain-modify
- 2 new 'url' types added for ocs' virtual locations
- Uninstall script now also deletes new DB values + logs + old inventories
- Improved Apache templates to allow adding aliases for both web interfaces
- RPM runs silently :'(

SN - excellent !

SN - didn't you need ocsagent.exe ?

SN - should the default be 100M, say to allow for openoffice

future RPM

What will be fixed in next RPM release...

dependencies

change the install method to install the perl dependencies that are available from existing repos.

Then you can reduce the number of perl rpms in your download the less you are responsible for the better

yum localinstall smeserver-inventory-tools* --enablerepo=dag --enablerepo=extras [is extras a repo?]

Is this just a doc issue or do I need to change the Requires?

All needed deps are should be in extras and mostly in dag

Here's the actual list of Requires in the .spec file (edit if needed):

 - Requires:  e-smith-base  SN - NOT NEEDED IF YOU HAVE BELOW
 - Requires:  e-smith-release >= 7              # Note: SME >8 may need a fix if it uses mod_perl >=2  (could be good to test and be ready!)
 + DON'T WE HAVE SMESERVER-RELEASE >=7 ? CHECK, rpm -q ...
Requires:  mod_perl >= 1.99_16-4
Requires:  monitor-edid >= 1.11-1            #ocs Agent
Requires:  ocsinventory-ipdiscover >= 1.01-2 #ocs Agent => will remove this one as it's already a dependency of ocsinventory-agent
Requires:  ocsinventory-agent >= 0.0.6-1     #ocs Agent
Requires:  perl-Apache-DBI >= 0.9901-2.2
Requires:  perl-Archive-Tar >= 1.23-3.99_2
Requires:  perl-Compress-Zlib >= 1.42-1
Requires:  perl-Crypt-OpenSSL-Bignum >= 0.03-1.2
Requires:  perl-Crypt-OpenSSL-RSA >= 0.21-1.2
Requires:  perl-IO-Socket-SSL >= 1.01-1
Requires:  perl-IO-Zlib >= 1.04-2
Requires:  perl-Mail-DomainKeys >= 0.21-2
Requires:  perl-MIME-Lite >= 3.01-2.2
Requires:  perl-Net-IP >= 1.23-1
Requires:  perl-Net-Jabber >= 2.0-1.2
Requires:  perl-Net-XMPP >= 1.0-1.2
Requires:  perl-SOAP-Lite >= 0.69-1
Requires:  perl-XML-SAX >= -0.12-7
Requires:  perl-XML-Simple >= 2.14-4
Requires:  perl-XML-Stream >= 1.22-1.2
Conflicts: smeserver-ocs_inventory_ng  # old RPM version, here for safety!
Conflicts: smeserver-glpi              # old RPM version, here for safety!

I've noticed that rpm handles dependencies even when they are not in the Requires (looks to be parsing some file)

Maybe I can remove almost all of them?

Will take any advice, I'm not familiar with this! SN - DOESN'T HURT TO LEAVE THEM IN

PS: installing an SME 7.1 right now to see what happens without Requires all perl deps...

SN- I JUST TEST ON 7.2, (PREFERABLY WITH YUM UPGRADE APPLIED)

Requires:           e-smith-release >= 7
Requires:           monitor-edid >= 1.11-1
Requires:           ocsinventory-ipdiscover >= 1.01-2
Requires:           ocsinventory-agent >= 0.0.6-1
Conflicts:          smeserver-ocs_inventory_ng
