Packaging mongo

[Jeff Johnson]

mongo is currently being installed/tested (on centos5 mongo.rpm5.org) like this:
 cvs -d ':ext:<email address hidden>:/v/rpm/cvs' get mongo
 cd mongo
 scons
 sudo scons install . --prefix=/usr/lib/rpm --nostrip --full
 sudo mkdir -p /var/lib/mongo/db
 sudo ./perftest --dbpath=/var/lib/mongo/db
 mongod --dbpath=/var/lib/mongo/db
 and in another window, straight from the Mongo DB tutorial)
 /usr/lib/rpm/bin/mongo << GO_SYSIN_DD
 use mydb;
 things = db.things;
 j = { name : "mongo" };
 t = { x : 3 };
 things.save(j);
 things.save(t);
 things.find();
 exit;
 GO_SYSIN_DD

There's a (recent 9/6/2006 or so) Fedorable package that has
some initscripts for startup (I cobbled together manually).

There's likely a new release every month or so. I haven't yet looked at
already released mongo-1.7.0.

Note that "mongo" != "mongodb" and "/var/lib/mongo/db" != "/var/lib/mongodb".
But the database path is fully negotiable as needed (the path is already wired
into @rpm5.org tests/mongo and will likely be in /usr/lib/rpm/macros shortly)

This command from a cvs checkout will show changes that were needed:

    $ cvs diff -r mongo-1_6_2

Basically:
1) (minor) Sconstruct fiddle up's for --prefix=/usr/lib/rpm
2) JS changes to re-target GPSEE's specific "known good" version of -ljs

RFP for GPSEE in a moment.

I see:

mongodb /mnt/nfs/var/ftp/pub/mirror/redhat/rawhide/SRPMS/mongodb-1.6.2-2.fc15.src.rpm

and will get that first on the way to VCS CO

scons in in EPEL ... snagging

[herrold (herrold)]

unittest-0.50-62.6.fc12.src.rpm and rebuilds find on C5

[herrold (herrold)]

js is in EPEL and rebuilds fine (bug with some warnings ... fodder to file in the Living at Head project) under C5

I have a conflict on the local freeswitch packaging to solve to do the intall, however

[herrold (herrold)]

FS conflict was /usr/lib64/libjs.so

[Jeff Johnson (n3npq)]

Here's the cvs diff of the changes that were needed for mongo.

[herrold (herrold)]

just noticed: "mongo" != "mongodb" no worries -- I'll finish mongodb first

[Jeff Johnson (n3npq)]

Note that the Fedorable mongodb-* package was DOA for me. YMMV.

There is some silliness within the package no matter what.
