Dear Allan and Pathak, I will try to write some documentation today (tomorrow in the worst case) about how you can "port" OSCAR to new Linux distribution (RPM or Debian based). But remember that the tool is still under development, only the core of OSCAR can automatically be packaged, but i guess this is a good starting point since the core allows you to deploy a cluster with a basic configuration.
I will send an email on the mailing list when the documentation will be available.

But SUSE is supported in oscar5.1 beta! Allan Allan, I worked on a new tool, oscar-packager, that allows you to do that easily. The tool is not quite stable yet but if you want to play with it, the source code is available here (under SVN): http://svn.oscar.openclustergroup.org/svn/oscar/pkgsrc/oscar-packager/trunk I think you should be able to create RPM at least for the OSCAR core. Note that this tool is based on scripts other OSCAR developers did in the past, i just extended and integrated them. Ultimately, my goal is to have a single tool to package OSCAR on any Linux distribution, hiding the different binary package formats and their associated tool. If you decide to do so, let me know, i still have few stuff to check in. A good starting point is to read the very brief man page (man oscar-packager). To install the tool, the only solution is currently to check out the source code from the SVN repository and then to execute as root "make install". You will also need the OSCAR Perl modules (oscar-base-lib) available via our repositories or via trunk. I hope it helps. Let me know if you have any questions. Also, when oscar-6.0.1, i plan on finalizing the tool and release it. Then, some more detailed documentation will be available.

If you give me the the pointers and help i do not mind helping out. Thank you very much for OSCAR! OSCAR ON!
