I've created a fairly straight-forward and basic RPM spec file for evms-2.2.2 . It is as follows and can probably be added to any .tar.gz as just "evms.spec". This will allow someone on Redhat to run "rpmbuild --tb evms-2.2.2.tar.gz" and have a RPM built for their system. Or a seperate "evms-2.2.2.srpm" can be made. I'd recommend placing the "evms-2.2.2.tar.gz" into "/usr/src/redhat/SOURCES" and this spec file as "/usr/src/redhat/SPECS/evms.spec".

It represents a new approach to logical volume management for Linux. The architecture introduces a plug-in model that allows for easy expansion and customization of various levels of volume management. EVMS provides a single, unified system for handling all of your storage management tasks. EVMS recognizes all of the disks on your system and allows for a variety of partitioning schemes. Software-RAID and logical volume groups can be managed in EVMS. Filesystems can be created and checked, and are automatically updated when changes are made to the underlying volumes. With EVMS, there is no longer a need for several individual utilities for performing each of these tasks. %prep %setup %build %configure make %install rm -rf %{buildroot} make DESTDIR=%{buildroot} install %clean rm -rf %{buildroot} %post -p /sbin/ldconfig %postun -p /sbin/ldconfig %files %defattr(-,root,root) %doc COPYING ChangeLog INSTALL README %{_sbindir}/* %{_includedir}/* %{_mandir}/man?/* %{_libdir}/* %{_sysconfdir}/evms.conf %{_sysconfdir}/evms.conf.sample %changelog * Wed Feb 04 2004 Peter Smith - Completed initial spec-file %changelog * Mon Jan 26 2004 Peter Smith - Initial spec-file
