Patches landed to Master.

Andreas, This bug is still active and can't be closed yet. Made some changes yesterday in response to feedback from Brian Murrell that broke some non-sles builds. Still need to fix those.

lbuild is very fragile & touchy to deal with (IMHO).

It seems that SLES11 SP2 builds are now working? Can this bug be closed?

[Bob Glossman (Inactive)]

In trying to enable server builds for sles11sp2 I appear to have broken client builds. One more indication that I don't know what I'm doing with lbuild.

[Bob Glossman (Inactive)]

There's something fundamentally missing in the lbuild scripts for SLES11. The expectation is that the function prepare_and_build_srpm() builds a kernel binary rpm that provides "kernel = something". This isn't true in the current scripts. Only kernel-source* rpms get built. No rpms like kernel-default, kernel-default-base, kernel-default-devel get created.

I think I need help from somebody who better understands lbuild and SLES packaging than I do.

A few more changes to lbuild files and build #57 almost works. Looks like it's missing necessary changes from LU-3292, required with 3.0.74 kernel. patch is in http://review.whamcloud.com/#change,6293

Bob: Try it now.

Console output was from http://build.whamcloud.com/job/lustre-reviews-sles11sp-server/51/arch=x86_64,build_type=server,distro=sles11sp2,ib_stack=inkernel/console

Bob: Which build has that in it. I can't find a failure with that text in it. A reference to the original would be good.

I'll have a look but I think for some reason location is not correct - I kind of need an old build that works, location should be local.
