== Build Process == The original installation documentation is here. I strongly recommend reading through it in order to understand where the DETER install process is evolving from: https://users.emulab.net/trac/emulab/wiki/InstallRoot == Updating the DETER meta packages == Since I have generated these images, I have added a few more packages to the meta package for the deter install and bumped the revision. Once you create a bootstrap user and have the repository cloned onto the image, updating should be painless: {{{ cd testbed/install/ports sudo make install cd /usr/ports/misc/instant-deter sudo make deinstall sudo make reinstall }}} == Building the testbed software == Create a build user of your choice on boss and users. If you are unfamiliar with FreeBSD, the process for creating users is laid out in the [http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/ FreeBSD handbook]. Make sure the user is in the group 'wheel' so sudo can be used. Login as this user and clone the testbed repository: {{{ su -l git clone tardis.deterlab.net:/var/local/git/testbed }}} Create the object tree directory. {{{ mkdir ~/obj }}} Now go into the ~/obj directory. {{{ cd ~/obj ../testbed/configure --with-TBDEFS=/home/jjh/testbed/defs- }}} This will create the object tree for the testbed. The install process is handled by two scripts. One is boss-install and the other is users-install, for boss and users. {{{ cd ~/obj/install sudo perl ./[boss|users]-install }}} == Updating the codebase == In order to update the codebase, running the install script is not necessary. {{{ cd ~/testbed git pull cd ~/obj ../testbed/configure --with-TBDEFS=/home/jjh/testbed/defs- gmake gmake [boss|users]-install }}}
