Hey guys: During the teleconference call today, we briefly discussed this. Here's the summary:
The Version field, as displayed on the OSCAR Package Selector (selector) is the OSCAR *Package* version. In other words, to use the Ganglia package as an example, currently it is at 2.5.6-2. 2.5.6 is the version # of the actual project, 2 is the version of the OSCAR Package for Ganglia. So how can I tell what version of the RPMs are in the actual package? Use the <provides> tag in config.xml: <provides> <type>rpm</type> <name>ganglia-monitor-core-gmetad-2.5.6-1</name> </provides> <provides> <type>rpm</type> <name>ganglia-oscar-monitor-core-gmond-2.5.6-1</name> </provides> <provides> <type>rpm</type> <name>ganglia-webfrontend-2.5.5-1</name> </provides> We will need to go through the config.xml to fix all the current packages, but I think an audit was going to take place anyway. Final thoughts?
