Re: [vpp-dev] Make pkg-rpm seems to be failing...

I may have found it. Install python2-rpm-macros from yum.  Also install
python-rpm-macros. It's looking good.

Hopefully Ed or Ole can make sure those are part of the install-deps:
unlike some other things, these are not so easy to find.

Re: [vpp-dev] Build time performance info CentOS vs Ubuntu and also I'm looking for some virtual machine advice

2017-03-18 Thread Burt Silverman
​Just a follow up for anybody interested in using qemu-kvm-spice like I
mentioned.

Now it appears I can get good graphics via 2 methods:

1. Somewhat standard:
a. start up the host in graphics mode.
b. start spicy or virt-viewer or virt-manager's viewer
c. start the guest OS if not already done so, log in, and then issue xinit
at the guest login
d. You should get a new window on the host that has the Xserver for the
guest and an xterm there.
e. Issue gnome-shell or gnome-terminal.

Things to be aware of:
a. If you shrink the host window that has the guest X, fonts will shrink.
It is not friendly like VirtualBox.
b. The professional thing would be to issue "systemctl start gdm" rather
than directly starting gnome-shell. But there are constant bugs being fixed
and you either get lucky or you become a super expert on many things. Or
give up, like I did.
c. I am told that you should be able to copy/paste between guest and host.
I have a strong feeling that this won't work easily unless you are lucky
and the preceding problem (b) has not happened to you.

My original goal was to conserve disk space. (I got stuck with 32bit
Windows Vista taking up most of the tiny disk, so I had little space to
work with.) It is possible that by using the somewhat nonstandard method in
my first note, you can eliminate the guest Xserver, and that may be about
500 MB. I haven't tested this in terms of removing packages and
dependencies, etc.

Conclusion is that usually VirtualBox is the way to go. Other conclusion:
too bad that CentOS has the slow gcc-4.

Well, yeah, maybe.  But after doing the .end_node dance,
I'm back to the %py2_build problem on a CentOS RPM build
of "make pkg-rpm".

That's building commit:

Date:   Sat Mar 18 02:57:38 2017 -0700

Check change in unnumbered setting before updating IP enabled state

Using "make bootstrap; make build-release; make pkg-rpm".
