This procedure will re-create the CentOS 5.0-based reference VM image.

Things Done For You

Version 1

Install CentOS 5.0 from CDs

CentOS-5.0-x86_64-bin-DVD.iso

TB: Thunderbird build clients use a separate /buildbot partition of 80GB. Now that we reboot after each build, be sure to "tune2fs -c 0" the buildbot partition to avoid an fsck of it every 20 reboots.

Package Selection

The Easy Way: the installer kickstart file.

The Hard Way:

While installing, select a the GNOME Desktop and then select Custom package development; the following categories were selected:

  • Desktop Environments
    • Gnome Desktop Environment
  • Applications
    • Editors
    • Text-based internet
      • Add lynx
  • Development
    • Development Tools
    • Development Libraries
    • X Software Development
    • GNOME Software Development
    • Legacy Software Development
  • Servers
    • Turn all off, except for "Printing Support
  • Base System
    • Turn off Dialup Networking
    • Turn on System Tools

Some Sys-prepping

On first boot, CentOS will ask some questions:

  • Turn the firewall off (we run our build machines on their own network, behind a firewall)
  • Disable SELinux
  • Enable NTP
  1. Login; install VMwareTools-3.0.1-32039.rpm
  2. vmware-config-tools.pl
  3. add clock=pit and vdso=no lines to /boot/grub/grub.conf
  4. turn on syncTime in VMware config
  5. for s in auditd avahi-daemon acpid bluetooth cpuspeed hplip hidd mcstrans pcscd ntpd cups cups-config-daemon mdmonitor openibd smartd pcmcia isdn atd gpm anacron autofs apmd kudzu yum-updated; do chkconfig $s off; done
  6. chkconfig vncserver on
  7. Copy over cltbld's ssh keys from another tinderbox
  8. Edit /etc/mail/sendmail.cf and add mail.build.mozilla.org as the "Smart Relay"
  9. rm /etc/sshd/ssh_host_*

Add the following lines to ~/.bash_profile 

export CVS_RSH=ssh
export JAVA_HOME=/builds/jdk
export TBOX_CLIENT_CVS_DIR="/builds/tinderbox/mozilla/tools"

Install Sun Java JDK

Note: we should archive this binary somewhere 

8c560eda470a50926b9e8dab2c806a25  jdk-1_5_0_15-linux-amd64.bin
  • Save to /tools
cd /tools
chmod 0755 ./dist/jdk-1_5_0_15-linux-amd64.bin 
./dist/jdk-1_5_0_15-linux-amd64.bin 
# type 'yes' to accept the license
ln -s jdk1.5.0_15/ jdk

Make directories

 mkdir -p /tools/dist/logs
 mkdir -p /builds/logs

Make GCC 4.2.3

cd /tools/dist/
wget http://gcc-ca.internet.bs/releases/gcc-4.2.3/gcc-4.2.3.tar.bz2
tar -jvxf gcc-4.2.3.tar.bz2
mkdir gcc-obj-release
cd gcc-obj-release/

../gcc-4.2.3/configure --enable-long-long --enable-threads=posix --enable-__cxa_atexit --enable-languages=c,c++ --with-system-zlib --prefix=/tools/gcc-4.2.3 2>&1 | tee ../logs/gcc-4.2.3-configure.log
make 2>&1 | tee ../logs/gcc-4.2.3-make.log
make install 2>&1 | tee ../logs/gcc-4.2.3-make_install.log
cd /tools
ln -s gcc-4.2.3 gcc

Build Python 2.5.1

(Some VMs use Python 2.5 or Python 2.4.4 but this is what is on the ref platform.) 

wget http://python.org/ftp/python/2.5.1/Python-2.5.1.tar.bz2

tar xfvj dist/Python-2.5.1.tar.bz2 
cd Python-2.5.1/
./configure --prefix=/tools/python-2.5.1 2>&1 | tee /tools/dist/logs/python2.5.1-configure.log 
make 2>&1 | tee /tools/dist/logs/python2.5.1-make.log 
make install 2>&1 | tee /tools/dist/logs/python2.5.1-make_install.log
cd /tools/
ln -s python-2.5.1/ python

Post puppet packages

This section is reserved for future updates to the ref image. A subsection should be added for each thing added to the ref image with as much installation detail as possible, for reproducibility reasons.
