OK. I've had a go with the latest build of the 3.4.9 client RPM and here are my notes:

Downloaded http://dev01.controltier.com:8080/jackrabbit/repository/workbench/pkgs/ctdev/rpm/noarch.rpms/ctier-client-3.4.9-1.noarch.rpm
Installed the RPM:

[root@centos53 tmp]# rpm -ivh ctier-client-3.4.9-1.noarch.rpm
Preparing... ########################################### [100%]
Locking password for user ctier.
passwd: Success
1:ctier-client ########################################### [100%]

I think we should boldly commit to the future existence of a common CTL_BASE by default:

[root@centos53 ctier]# diff ctierrc.orig ctierrc
8c8
< # export CTL_BASE=/path/to/ctl/base
---
> export CTL_BASE=/opt/ctier/ctl

Need to move /opts/ctier/ctierrc to /opt/ctier/etc/ctierrc like the server.

Setup a 3.4.9 server and "Development" project elsewhere.

Got these errors when logging back in as ctier after the install (and before creating the CTL_BASE):

[root@centos53 ~]# su - ctier
awk: cmd. line:1: fatal: cannot open file `/opt/ctier/ctl/etc/framework.properties' for reading (No such file or directory)
awk: cmd. line:1: fatal: cannot open file `/opt/ctier/ctl/etc/framework.properties' for reading (No such file or directory)

Explicitly setup JAVA_HOME as required by ctl-setup:

[ctier@centos53 ~]$ export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0.x86_64

Created a "common system-wide" CTL_BASE under /opt/ctier as the ctier user:

[ctier@centos53 ~]$ ctl-setup -n centos53 -N centos53 -s macosx
Using server hostname: macosx
.
.
.
post-setup:
[echo] Commander extension post-setup completed.

Setup build successful.

Didn't see the sticky group setup that's in the server RPM, so applied manually.

Registered the CTL_BASE with my project:

[ctier@centos53 depots]$ ctl-depot -p Development -a create
Project depot structure created: /opt/ctier/ctl/depots/Development
Invoking external setup script: /opt/ctier/pkgs/ctl-1.4.9/bin/commander-depotsetup.xml

Registered node "centos53" with Workbench @ http://macosx:8080/itnav
Completed client setup. Node centos53 registered in project: "Development".

Added a user to the ctier group:

[user2@centos53 ~]$ id
uid=505(user2) gid=505(user2) groups=102(ctier),505(user2) context=user_u:system_r:unconfined_t

... and set it up to share the common CTL_BASE:

[user2@centos53 ~]$ cat .bashrc
# .bashrc

# Source global definitions
if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then
   . /etc/bashrc
fi

# User specific aliases and functions

if [ -f /opt/ctier/ctierrc ]; then
   . /opt/ctier/ctierrc
else
   echo /opt/ctier/ctierrc not found 1>&2
fi

Created an object in Workbench and confirmed that the user can manage the shared depot:

[user2@centos53 ~]$ ctl-depot -p Development -a install
"Install" command running for object: elements[ProjectBuilder]

Added a second user to the ctier group:

[user3@centos53 ~]$ id
uid=506(user3) gid=506(user3) groups=102(ctier),506(user3) context=user_u:system_r:unconfined_t

... and set it up to establish a dedicated CTL_BASE:

[user3@centos53 ~]$ cat .bashrc
# .bashrc

# Source global definitions
if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then
   . /etc/bashrc
fi

# User specific aliases and functions

export CTL_BASE=/home/user3/ctier/ctl

if [ -f /opt/ctier/ctierrc ]; then
   . /opt/ctier/ctierrc
else
   echo /opt/ctier/ctierrc not found 1>&2
fi

Got this error again:

[anthony@centos53 ~]$ su - user3

Explicitly setup JAVA_HOME as required by ctl-setup:

Hit the CTL_BASE directory does not exist problem:

[user3@centos53 ~]$ ctl-setup -n user3.centos53 -N centos53 -s macosx
Using server hostname: macosx
ERROR: failed generating setup preferenes: /home/user3/ctier/ctl does not exist and cannot be created

Using server hostname: macosx

A few tweaks and we're there!

Is this error due to the .ctierrc being read and that user's CTL_BASE
does not yet exist and the bash_completion.sh thus barf?

[root@centos53 ~]# su - ctier

framework.properties' for reading (No such file or directory)

Yes if you source ctierrc which loads bash_completion, prior to doing ctl-setup that will cause the error message

perhaps the bash_completion should just exit quietly if those files are not found

Ah ... but if you set the CTL_BASE and source the file before ctl-setup you see this error ... so I consider this a bug.

Hi Greg,

I've completed testing today's client RPM:

Anthonys-MacBook-Pro:Downloads anthony$ ls -l ctier-client-3.4.9-1.noarch.rpm
-rw-r--r--@ 1 anthony anthony 47078112 Nov 10 10:06 ctier-client-3.4.9-1.noarch.rpm

Still got this error su'ing to the ctier user immediately after the RPM install (https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2893685&group_id=151079&atid=779847):

[root@centos53 ~]# su - ctier

awk: cmd. line:1: fatal: cannot open file `/etc/framework.properties' for reading (No such file or directory)
awk: cmd. line:1: fatal: cannot open file `/etc/framework.properties' for reading (No such file or directory)

Logged a bug to cover setting up CTL_BASE properly (https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2895425&group_id=151079&atid=779847) - which seems to eliminate the first problem by the way:

[ctier@centos53 ~]$ diff etc/ctierrc etc/ctierrc.orig
8,10c8
< if [ -z "$CTL_BASE" ] ; then
< export CTL_BASE=/opt/ctier/ctl
< fi
---
> # export CTL_BASE=/path/to/ctl/base

Created the common CTL_BASE without problem:

[ctier@centos53 ~]$ export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0.x86_64

[ctier@centos53 ~]$ ctl-setup -n centos53 -N centos53 -s macosx
Using server hostname: macosx
.
.
.

Setup build successful.

Opened a second bug to make sure the client RPM sets up group permissions like the server (https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2895474&group_id=151079&atid=779847)

Confirmed that a ctier group member can share the common CTL_BASE after the permissions are corrected.
Confirmed that a ctier group member can setup their own CTL_BASE ($HOME/ctier/ctl) and deploy objects without problem.

Looks like there's still some life in an existing bug and two new ones, but we're almost there!

Anthony.
