SIMP Rsync

This is the default data store for the SIMP Rsync content.

By default, this is used by the simp Puppet module to ensure that various subsystems have content that can be successfully delivered to clients.

Multiple environments are supported as well as any number of Operating Systems. Additionally, you may freely add to the directory structure so long as there is some reasonable way of serving the material via rsync.

Any top level directory without an associated rsync::server::section resource will not be served to clients.

When updating this repository, you must ensure that you update the .rsync.facl file appropriately!

Notes on Building

This RPM requires simp-environment-selinux-policy which contains the selinux contexts for SIMP, including the context for the rsync directories.

To build the RPMs for this repository, you will need to enable the earliest EL6 and EL7 repositories for your development system so that it can use an SELinux Development stack that is guaranteed to work.

If you are using the SIMP global build system, you should not need to make any changes to your environment.

Usage

To get full functionality out of the SIMP modules, particularly, the simp module itself, you need to perform the following operations:

NOTE: If you're using the simp-environment-skeleton RPM, all of this is done for you and is the recommended method for installing these files.

Copy the Repository to the skeleton directory

1. mkdir -p /usr/share/simp/environments
2. Copy the rsync directory from this repository into /usr/share/simp/environments
3. cd /usr/share/simp/environments/rsync
4. setfacl --restore=.rsync.facl 2>/dev/null

To create a new environment

1. mkdir -p /var/simp/environments/<new-env name>
2. rsync -a /usr/share/simp/environments/rsync /var/simp/environments/<new-env name>
3. cd /var/simp/environments/<new-env name>/rsync
4. setfacl --restore=.rsync.facl 2>/dev/null

Restore the SELinux Contexts

If required, follow the instructions in the simp-environment-skeleton module to build the necessary SELinux policy, (it is done automatically if installed from the simp-environment-selinux-policy RPM) and then run:

1. ``/sbin/fixfiles -R simp-environment restore
