Fedora Nightlife is a project for creating a Fedora community grid. People will be able to donate idle capacity from their own computers to an open, general-purpose Fedora-run grid for processing socially beneficial work and scientific research that requires access to large amounts of computing power. Given the large number of Fedora users, we hope to eventually be able to build a community grid of over a million nodes at Fedora. This will be a great example of the power of the Fedora community, give people new and meaningful ways to contribute to Fedora, advance the development of large-scale grid software, and lead to real benefits for the world.

A core part of Fedora Nightlife's mission will be to provide a complete open-source grid infrastructure suitable for computing a full spectrum of tasks. This includes:
 
 
 
    * The core operating system and execution environments
 
    * The necessary libraries for many workloads
 
    * The workload scheduler
 
    * Facilities for managing and enforcing various policies
 
    * and so on

Project Name

Add IPv6 Support to Condor

Project Description

Sooner or later we're going to have to live with IPv6. Many applications are very tied to IPv4 and that includes Condor. Understand what IP addresses really mean to Condor, like many existing systems, and what the implications of an IPv6 conversion means and how it can be done. There are many resources about IPv6 interfaces, but not many good transition guides, and fewer that address what the change can really mean to an application - Condor takes addresses and passes them as ascii text between components.

Oct 28, 2008:

  • Downloaded condor 7.05 source tarball onto Ireland system (running rawhide)
  • Unpacked tarball, changed to src directory and ran ./build_init (seemed to run ok)
  • Tried to run configure but got error (something dealing with build_external)
    • to fix this I ran ./configure --disable-glibc-version-check but this produced another error - I needed to install csh
  • later in the evening Chris installed Fedora 9 so I'll have to start over.

Oct 29, 2008:

  • Now that Ireland is running Fedora 9, I did yum install condor - worked ok
    • ran condor_master
    • ran condor_status
    • ran condor_off
    • ran condor_off -master
  • Also, on China (running Fedora 8) I downloaded condor 7.05 source tarball.
    • installed csh
    • ran ./build_init
    • ran ./configure --disable-glibc-version-check
    • ran make - got error "asm/page.h no such file

Oct 30, 2008:

  • In the Ireland system, Edit and compile a simple "Hello World" c program
  • Edit a submit file named hello.sub, submit the file to condor (condor_submit hello.sub)
  • Run condor_q to check on the status of my job

Nov 4, 2008:

  • Check the submit job on Ireland machine, it hasn't worked.
  • On Korea machine(Fedora 9), run yum install condor -- Can't install, remind me lack of gsoap
    • run install gsoap -- Can't install
    • manual download gsoap-2.7.9-0.1.I.i386.rpm, then run rpm -i gsoap-2.7.9-0.1.I.i386.rpm -- OK
    • yum install condor -- OK
  • On China machine(Fedora 8), reconfigure using the command "./configure --disable-glibc-version-check --disable-glibc-full-port", then run make it's ok.
  • On China machine, create a condor1 virtual machine for Fedora 9, and install condor on virtual machine
    • Solve network problem:
      • 1.Stop firewall
      • 2.Enable ipforward: echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
      • 3.run "iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE"
    • scp 192.168.122.1:DOWNLOAD/*.gz .
    • run yum install csh
    • untar the condor source file
    • ran ./build_init
    • ran ./configure --disable-glibc-version-check ---- ERROR: build_krb5-1.4.3 ERROR: unable to build krb5-1.4.3
