By the way, could someone give me some tips (as in hey dumb-ass why havent you read this and this most obvious that)on 'replicating' the build system with plague. I need to make a set of EL-3 ones and I might as well experiment on my own first to see what the work load for this would be.
EL-3 as the host or target system? As the host sys it might be that some requirements are too old (pyOpenSSL maybe?) or n/a.
Some documentation is in the packages, a few more pages are in the Wiki (I just noticed I don't know them): http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Projects/Plague
EL-4: http://mschwendt.fedorapeople.org/plague/plague-0.4.4.1-10.el4.src.rpm EL-5: http://mschwendt.fedorapeople.org/plague/plague-0.4.4.1-10.el5.src.rpm are basically what the EPEL build machines run.
The various noarch packages are: plague-client plague-common plague-builder plague-utils : for certhelper, user-manager plague : the server
Hints? Start the builder and server services as early as possible to let them write the default config files once. When they fail to start during configuration attempts, they either complain on console or in the logs (/var/log/plague*). Starting the server programs manually may be helpful (e.g. /usr/bin/plague-builder -c /etc/plague/builder/plague-builder.cfg instead of "service plague-builder start") till the config files and target files are set up. The www files are only in the source tarball.
