Hello Jacek, Qserv already need some rpm dependencies when it's installed. So packaging it as a rpm would only require the sysadmin to install a (few) rpm more. Qserv, once installed with root account, could then run under user account named qserv, and wouldn't require no more root privileges, (Mysql and Apache httpd are usually installed this way on linux boxes). This could be an interesting intermediate solution, but root account would still be needed at bootstrap. rpm would be an easy solution to install Qserv, but it also require to check that all qserv dependencies, that are compiled during automated install procedure, are also available as rpm, and with compatible versions. I think it also required to build a rpm for xrootd patched version, and maybe for scisql (unless they can be embedded in Qserv rpm ?). So it seems there's some job to build this rpm. I can first study this if you want, in order to list all the tasks needed to do this. Maybe a comparison with a eups full install could be also usefull ? Have a nice day, Fabricea P.S. : Thanks for sending the coordinates of yesterday meeting, but, even if i was very interested, i wasn't able to come, sorry. I will be avaible next tuesday.
