| } Hi Dspace community, I'll be adding documentation here that outlines how to get Dspace 1.6.x up and running on a RHEL5 system emphasizing sustainability. (No small accomplishment.) The documentation is complete, but I need to translate from our internal documentation and wiki format to the format supported here. In the mean time feel free to me any questions regarding this documentation or our build. \-- \- Jamin Ragle, Systems Administrator, University of New Mexico Libraries {note} h2.

* Goals: *This build is targeted for resolving the dependency problems of the past between RHEL and JPackage, remove the 'dspace' user, and to install Dspace 1.6.2. The hardest issues to resolve are finding the prerequisite packages for *Maven2 *and *Ant 1.7, * *resolving the dependencies, * _AND _still *use RPMs *to maintain the packages. The following is my attempt to use an external repository (JPackage) with RHEL5 and the only unmaintained packages are Dspace itself and possibly the Java JAI. {info} h5. Check and Install |

Notice here, installing Java the jpackage-utils 1.7 is also installed which is maintained by Red Hat. Later on it will be replaced by the JPackage maintained version and can/will cause some problems after we install and start using the JPackage repo. |
- Requirement - Relational Database, PostgreSQL 7.4 or later - (RHEL5 currently provides postgres 8.1.18(default)
...
- and
...
- 8.4
...
- is
...
- available
...
- too.)
...
- Install
...
- Postgresql:
...
Code Block
...
yum install postgresql-server -y
...
This will install the postgresql dependency.

We have a Clean install, using only RHEL provided packages, up to this point. |
Install and Configure the JPackage repository
(Ok, this is somewhat dirty and I don't know if this work work in a sustainable way, but here goes the experiment.)
Objective Statement: Only packages that are specifically needed, either explicitly or to resolve a dependency on JPackage will be used, otherwise the RHEL channel provided package will be used.((I go into detail why I didn't use _yum-priorities_ in my more ideal install attempt:#alternative_install_methodyum-protectbase |

.)) |
