Feature Request: EBS Plugin Support for CentOS v5.5

shaunmcc May 26, 2011 12:27 PM

Hi,

I see that there are a number of CentOS 5.5 community AMI's where the root device is EBS. Would it possible for Boxgrinder to support EBS root device for CentOS 5.5 x64 at some point in the future?

TIA

Shaun

Shaun,

I think now it's possible, please file a new feature request here: https://issues.jboss.org/secure/CreateIssue.jspa?pid=12310920&issuetype=2

You can try to see if it "just works" by editing /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/boxgrinder-build-0.9.2/lib/boxgrinder-build/plugins/delivery/ebs/ebs-plugin.rb file and adding this line:

register_supported_os('centos', ['5'])

after line 55:

register_supported_os('rhel', ['6'])

Hi shaunmcc,

If you wish to apply the updates manually before the improvements are pushed out with the next release, please replace:

/usr/lib64/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/boxgrinder-build-0.9.2/lib/boxgrinder-build/plugins/delivery/ebs/ebs-plugin.rb
(note this may be /usr/lib rather than /usr/lib64 depending on OS - or merely it could be a symlink)

with:
https://raw.github.com/msavy/boxgrinder-build/BGBUILD-193/lib/boxgrinder-build/plugins/delivery/ebs/ebs-plugin.rb
