The original document can be found at our SVN repository. This text describes how to install generators to MCGenerators trees:

1. Download new authors tarfile to local source tarfile repository:

    a. Obtain sftnight AFS token;
    b. Download source tarball into /afs/cern.ch/sw/lcg/external/tarFiles/MCGeneratorsTarFiles;
   

1. Add package definition to requested version of LCGCMT release: cmake/toolchain/heptools-.cmake;

1. Try build on local node and run GENSER test for the given package;

1. Commit changes into SVN;

1. Go to https://ecsft.cern.ch/ and submit jobs for all requested releases; Don't install more then one full release at once!

1. If the installation is successfull, mail to genser-announce@cern.ch like this: Dear colleagues, New Tauola++ version - Tauola++ 1.1.4 has been installed into MCGenerators lcgcmt trees:

   - MCGenerators_lcgcmt65
   - MCGenerators_lcgcmt65a
   - MCGenerators_lcgcmt66

Installation of LCG_68 and newer releases

###

1. Steps 1-4 from the instruction above.

1. Build generators in temporary location (e.g. /afs/cern.ch/sw/lcg/external/MCGenerators_test1/) and cd to it.

1. Create the summary files for a release /afs/cern.ch/sw/lcg/app/spi/tools/LCGRPM/package/extract_LCG_summary.py . UPGRADE

   /afs/cern.ch/sw/lcg/app/spi/tools/LCGRPM/package/extract_LCG_summary.py \

   . x8664-slc6-gcc48-opt 69root6 UPGRADE The files LCG*.txt should be created. (contrib, generators, externals)

1. Create RPM spec file a) Determine the current release number ls /afs/cern.ch/sw/lcg/external/rpms/lcg/ | grep LCG_generators | grep 69root6 Output is:

   LCG_generators_69root6_x86_64_slc6_gcc48_opt-1.0.0-6.noarch.rpm
   LCG_generators_69root6_x86_64_slc6_gcc48_opt-1.0.0-7.noarch.rpm
   LCG_generators_69root6_x86_64_slc6_gcc48_opt-1.0.0-8.noarch.rpm
                                                    -> <- is release number
   

   Use next release number (9 in this case) b) Prepare temporary build directory (/tmp/sftnight in this case) rm -rf /tmp/sftnight/* c) Produce .spec file /afs/cern.ch/sw/lcg/app/spi/tools/LCGRPM/package/createLCGRPMSpec.py \ LCG_generators_x86_64-slc6-gcc48-opt.txt -b /tmp/sftnight -o generators.spec --release

1. Make rpm rpmbuild -bb generators.spec

1. Copy rpm cp -v -i /tmp/sftnight/rpmbuild/RPMS/noarch/*.rpm /afs/cern.ch/sw/lcg/external/rpms/lcg/

1. Update rpm database createrepo --workers=20 /afs/cern.ch/sw/lcg/external/rpms/lcg/

1. Install to AFS a) Prepare environment export MYSITEROOT=/afs/cern.ch/sw/lcg/releases/ b) Install List rpms /afs/cern.ch/sw/lcg/app/spi/tools/LCGRPM/install/lcg_install.sh list Install /afs/cern.ch/sw/lcg/app/spi/tools/LCGRPM/install/lcg_install.sh --rpmupdate install \ LCG_generators_69root6_x86_64_slc6_gcc48_opt-1.0.0-9

1. Check that the new generators are installed on AFS

1. If the installation is successfull, mail to genser-announce@cern.ch.
