Hi, 

it is not possible to download the SpotCload Packing tool. The Link is not working.

Can anyone help me to send me the files?

Thanks

Downloaded and unzipped the folder and placed the raw image into the same folder. Attempted running all the *.py files but I am stuck. Can somebody point me to further documentation ? I'm on OS X. Thanks

Hi,

The best way to install spotsh is by using easy install, the Python
utility for installing eggs:

http://packages.python.org/distribute/easy_install.html

Once you have "easy install" on your system, you can do "easy_install
spotsh". Then you're all set.

Hi,

You shouldn't need to run "packagebuilder.py" directly. When you
install spotsh, a new command becomes available on your system.

You can test this by typing "spotsh". If it is properly installed, you
should get a list of sub-commands. So to build an appliance, instead of
running "packagebuilder.py", you would do something like "spotsh
appliance -b path/to/raw/image".

Got it. Thanks!

I'm trying to get this working on windows.  When i download the EasyInstall executable (with latest python installed), it complains it cant find Python 2.7.  I uninstalled the latest python and installed Python 2.7 and its still complaining about not finding it.

I finally got the package tool to work, but whenever i run the package command the xvm2 file gets created for a second, the python process starts but then it kills itself and i get the following error:

W:\SpotCloud>C:\Python27\scripts\spotsh appliance -b w:\SpotCloud\d0.img

    os.unlink(tf_name)
WindowsError: [Error 32] The process cannot access the file because it is being

How do i fix this?

Hi,

This is a strange error. Is this something reproducable, or did it only
happen the one time? I'll try to reproduce it here so I can further
diagnose. Thanks for the report.

Hi,

You I've implemented some changes that should at the very least provide
a better error on failure. You can find the new package here:

http://pypi.python.org/pypi/spotsh/0.0.2

Let me know how it works out.

Can you provide a solution fast?
