2 Downloading an OSCAR Distribution Package
The OSCAR distribution packages can be downloaded from:
http://oscar.sourceforge.net/
Note that there are actually three flavors of distribution packages
for OSCAR, depending on your bandwidth and installation/development
needs:
- ``Regular'': All the OSCAR installation stuff that most users
need to install and operate an OSCAR cluster.
- ``Extra Crispy'': Same as Regular, except that the SRPMs for
most of the RPMs in OSCAR are also included. This distribution
package is significantly larger than Regular, and is not necessary
for most users - only those who are interested in source RPMs need
the Extra Crispy distribution. The SRPMs can be found under
packages/*/SRPMS/ directories.
- ``Secret Sauce'': This distribution contains only the
SRPMs for RPMs in OSCAR in the Regular and Extra Crispy
distributions (it's essentially (Extra Crispy - Regular)). It is
intended only for those who initially downloaded the Regular
distribution and later decided that they wanted the SRPMs as well.
The Secret Sauce distribution is intended to be expanded over your
Regular installation - it will create packages/*/SRPMS/
directories and populate them with the relevant .src.rpm
files.
All three distributions can be downloaded from the main OSCAR web
page.
