Issues while installing Reef

[nmrod]

Hi all,

I found out 3 issues while installing Reef on Linux.

1) The Reef Download page (http://reef.totalgrid.org/download) says
that the Reef Core version is Reef Core 1.1.0 (Windows) and Linux
Version is Reef Core 0.1.1 (Linux) . I would say that the current
version is 0.1.1, right=

2) After downloading and extracting the Linux version reef-
karaf-0.1.1-dist.tar.gz I found out that all the filenames from the
system.org.* folders were truncated. For example org/apache/karaf/
features/org.apache.karaf.features.command/2.1.3/
org.apache.karaf.features.command-2.1.3.jar was really /org/apache/
karaf/features/org.apache.karaf.features.command/2.1.3/org.a

It looks like something happened with the files there. Can you take a
look?
To solve this issue I downloaded the Windows version of Reef and
copied the system/org folder to the Linux version.

3) While following the Getting Started Guide (http://
reef.totalgrid.org/documentation/getting-started) I had an issue while
running the command "features:addurl file:/reef-feature.xml". It looks
like the command should not have the "/". The correct command is
features:addurl file:reef-feature.xml

Hi Nuno,

#1 and #3 are now fixed. Thanks for spotting those!

Could you tell me your OS and what extracting tool you used for #2?

Daniel, 

I'm using Mac OS X and the extraction tool is The Unarchiver. 

Probably the problem here was related with the number of characters of the full path to the file + the file name.

The reason why I asked was that when I look at the file with 7-Zip the paths look like they're okay in the tarball itself. I'll see if we can figure out what's causing this.

Nuno,

In reply to the second item I was able to unpack the archive on my Mac
using the terminal and tar -xzvf and I was able to use the standard OS
X unarchive tool with out any trouble. I don't have The Unarchiver
installed, so I can't tell you immediately why that tool isn't
working. I will look into the way we package our distributions and see
if we can't fix that though. I have filed a bug at
issues.totalgrid.org:

https://issues.totalgrid.org/issue/reef-12

In the meantime you can use one of the other methods as a workaround.

Thanks,
Adam B.

Hi Adam, 

I've used tar -zxvf and it worked fine. After that I tried to extract the files using The Unarchiver and the files got truncated again. 

It looks like the problem is definitely related with The Unarchiver. 

Best Regards,

Nuno
