Subversion Repositories ALCASAR

By Rexy

ALCASAR need the following programs that don't be included as RPM in Mageia :

  - coovachilli (the captive portal)

  - havp (http antivirus proxy)

  - ipt_netflow kernel module (netflow log system)

  - wkhtmltopdf (html to pdf renderer)

  - nfdump (collector & processor for netflow data)

This howto explains how to build RPM of these programs in order to keep the distribution clean

****  Prepare the RPM creation structure ***

- upadate your system : urpmi --auto-update

- install the following RPMs "kernel-userspace-headers", "rpm-build", "gengetopt", "libtool" packages

- create directories structure in your home : mkdir -p ~/rpmbuild/{SRPMS,SOURCES,SPECS,tmp}

- Option : find the ".rpmmacros" file on mageia wiki (https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Packagers_RPM_tutorial) and copy it in your home directory

****  Coova-chilli   *****

- retrieve the last tarball of coova-chilli (or the svn archive).

- Untar it and test the compilation process ("sh ./bootstrap", "./configure --enable-json --enable-libjson --enable-mdns", "make", "make install").

- all is in the /usr/local". Remove the instaled files ("make uninstall") and the binaries ("make clean").

- rename the directory and compress it (ie : tar -cvzf coova-chilli-1.4.tar.gz coova-chilli-1.4). Copy this tarball in the directory ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES/.

- copy the SPEC file from the ALCASAR archive to the directory ~/rpmbuild/SPEC

- change to the directory ~/pmbuild/SPEC and run the RPM build process excluding 'ssl' : "rpmbuild -bb coova-chilli.spec" (or rpmbuild -ba to create also the SRPMS) 

INFO : .spec modifications since Redhat RPM :

	- ajouter en première ligne "%define _disable_ld_no_undefined 1" pour éviter les erreurs liées au variables inutisées

	- pour la version 64b, ajouter 2 lignes intégrant le répertoire "lib64" lors de la suppression des binaires statiques (rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr/lib/*.la)

	- exclure de l'archive les fichiers inutiles pour ALCASAR (wpad.dat, wwwdir, etc. via la directive '%exclude')

**** HAVP ****

- install the RPM of clamav-devel

- download, uncompress, and test the compilation of the last version of havp (./configure + make)

- copy the tarball in ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES/. copy the patch file ("havp-init.diff") in ~/rpmbuil/SOURCE. Copy and adapt the .spec in ~/rpmbuid/SPEC

- rpmbuild -dd ***.spec

****  ipt_netflow  ****

- Must be complied on a system which runs the target kernel. So install manually the target kernel and reboot (ipt_NETFLOW will not load during this process) 

- install the RPMs "kernel-server-devel", "lib64iptables-devel (or libiptables-devel in 32b arch)"

- download, uncompress and test the compilation of the last version of ipt-netflow (./configure, make all install). The module is compiled in the same directory. The libs are copied in the /lib64/iptables (libip6t_NETFLOW.so & libipt_NETFLOW.so)

- test the module : go to the directory of source and try to load it (depmod + modprobe ipt_NETFLOW), "lsmod|grep ipt_NETFLOW" to verify that it's loaded, "alcasar-iptables.sh" to to reload netfilter rules (no errors should appear)

- if all is ok, copy the tarball in rpmbuild/SOURCES. Copy the .spec in rpmbuild/SPECS. In this file, adapt the kernel number.

- change to the directory ~/pmbuild/SPEC and run "rpmbuild -bb ****.spec"

**** wkhtmltopdf ****

- download the archive of the binaries of the last version (https://wkhtmltopdf.org/downloads.html) in ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES/wkhtmltox-%{version}_linux-generic-amd64.tar.xz.

- build with: rpmbuild -bb --clean wkhtmltopdf-%{version}-%{release}.spec

**** nfdump ****

- install lib64rrdtool-devel, bison, flex
