+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; for the purpose of testing package building locally;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; - you're a careful packager and test out everything locally before
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; submitting - you're a novice packager and want to practise
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; i would like to make a VM that acts like a buildnode, with the
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; following
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; requirements:
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; - mageia system (not mandriva)
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; - preferably headless
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; - ssh on by default
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; - building 32bit AND 64bit packages
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; - using chroots to build and preferably having basesystem chroots
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; on it. also
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; cleans up so buildrequires are properly tested, and lint checking
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; and what else a buildnode normally does.
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; &gt; This can be done using iurt.
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; so, how exactly does this work? iurt automagically build basesystem
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; chroots and chrootbuilds stuff? is there any task that is needed for
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; this kind of thing?
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; Yes. See iurt package. And iurt config file used on the cluster :
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; <A HREF="http://svnweb.mageia.org/adm/puppet/modules/buildsystem/templates/iurt.ca">http://svnweb.mageia.org/adm/puppet/modules/buildsystem/templates/iurt.ca</A>
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; ul dron.conf?revision=734&amp;view=markup
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; - no signing step
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; - still as small as possible so it can be put somewhere for
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; downloading. - nice to have is possibly a sort of local submission
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; tree so submitting
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; could also be practised.
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; &gt; You mean installing a full build system in a VM ?
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; &gt; You can try to do it using puppet, and the puppet modules on svn :
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; &gt; <A HREF="http://svnweb.mageia.org/adm/">http://svnweb.mageia.org/adm/</A>
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; well, i donno, i don't know puppet and this is not meant to be used in
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; a controlled environment, but just built like this and people use it
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; locally. there is not really any need to remote control this machine.
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; just a one time setup.
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; The easiest way to setup a buildsystem is using puppet. Otherwise it
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; will be more difficult.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Could someone from the sysadmins write (if it has not been done already) a
+</I>&gt;<i> quick guide for puppet use, for example &quot;how to deploy a buildnode using
+</I>&gt;<i> puppet&quot; ? I guess that would help Maarteen a lot :)
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Samuel
+</I>
+It would help Maarten a lot :-)
+
+one extra question, if i use puppet to install it, it will be exactly like the
+current buildnode now?
+
+but is puppet then installed on it? because i don't want to give people the
+impression that if they install this vm, that the mageia sysadmins would have
+full control over their vm...
+
+or am i thinking totally the wrong way?
+
+furthermore, i'm thinking on this:
+ - how long does it take to install and configure puppet and rather configure
+the puppet classes for the VM. in relation to the actual install?
+
+i mean, if i can install this VM by just one urpmi line with --urpmi-root
+option, it seems also overkill to have puppet.
+
+well, i guess this just proves how little i know of puppet. :-(
