trove

History

Amrith Kumar ae74cd056e allow unauthenticated packages to be installed Sometimes, trove image builds fail because of package authentication issues. This is often times related to the inability to get to a key server, and not indicative of anything more serious than that. The (strongly discouraged in production use cases) workaround for this is to pass the --allow-unauthenticated option to apt-get install. I say 'Closes-Bug' below but I realize that this is a white lie. What it fixes is only the Trove elements. The image build process uses elements from other places (triple-o, for example). These can still fail for the same reason. There is a much bigger hammer that we can use if we need it, and that is to throw the line 'APT::Get::AllowUnauthenticated "true";' into a conf file in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/. If this hammer isn't big enough, we can revist later. Change-Id: I009697332bb2a8e1e60b17c10944faed5c311da3 Closes-Bug:#1646856		2016-12-20 06:48:53 -05:00

Creates an image for DB2 Express-C v10.5

The packages for DB2 Express-C can be downloaded from: http://www-01.ibm.com/software/data/db2/express-c/download.html and click on the link "DB2 Express-C for Linux 64-bit". New users can either get an IBM ID or click on the "Proceed without an IBM ID". User is provided with a registration form which needs to be completed in order to proceed further to download the DB2 Express-C packages. After accepting the license agreement, user can download the the DB2 Express-C package (.tar.gz file).

There are 2 options for making the DB2 Express-C package accessible to the Trove disk-image building process:

place the package in a private repository and set the environment variable DATASTORE_PKG_LOCATION with the url to this private repository. e.g. export DATASTORE_PKG_LOCATION="http://www.foo.com/db2/v10.5_linuxx64_expc.tar.gz"
download the package and place it in any directory on the local filesystem that the trovestack script can access. Set the environment variable DATASTORE_PKG_LOCATION with the full path to the downloaded package. e.g. export DATASTORE_PKG_LOCATION="/home/stack/db2/v10.5_linuxx64_expc.tar.gz"

The environment variables used are as follows:

DATASTORE_PKG_LOCATION - is the place where user stores the DB2 Express-C package after registration. This can either be a url to a private repository or the full path to the downloaded package on a local filesystem. DATASTORE_DOWNLOAD_OPTS - defines any wget options user wants to specify like user,password, etc. This is an optional variable and is needed only if specifying a private repository to download the packages from. e.g. export DATASTORE_DOWNLOAD_OPTS="--user=foo --password='secret'"
