Arch Linux

Disowning, since I don't use it and it is deprecated.

Maybe somebody interested in the original branch can adopt it.

By the way, this is deprecated by upstream [1]. Since it is still a dependency of targetcli, I recommend using https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/targetcli-fb/, which has fewer deps overall.

This package is in https://github.com/JonnyJD/PKGBUILDs/tree/master/_lio/lio-utils

For like when somebody wants to fix a systemd file. Upstream doesn't include one. I just patch an upstream rc-script.

added security patch concerning symlink attacks with the logfile.
See also: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=654262

I made some fixes in the rc script in the 7th iteration of this package. The integration into the arch boot process is now much better.

I also created the free branch package for targetcli: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=57081
That package now works without lio-utils and has an own rc script (conflicting with lio-utils). Targetcli is supposed to be the new way of configuring LIO targets.

I went ahead and created a separate package lio-snmp: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=56365 which provides the snmp modules and the mib data.

This package has no dependency from snmp anymore. If you don't need snmp, you don't need to upgrade.

Hm. Technically you can build it with net-snmp and then uninstall net-snmp again and you won't have problems, if you don't use snmp explicitly yourself. (build-requirement)

I can also make a separate lio-utils-snmp package. Then only the few people that actually use this, need snmb for the build. I should also include pre- and postinstall scripts to include the mibs/libs in the snmp configuration.
The snmp-libs are also architecture dependent, in contrast to the rest of the package. Must have missed that.

I am not quite sure which way to go. Any preferences?

The PKGBUILD will fail unless extra/net-snmp is installed before hand.

It needs to be made a dependency.

I updated the PKGBUILD. A symlink should not be necessary. Thx for reporting.

The tcm-py package was trying to run 'python setup.py install'. But there was only python2 available on my Arch install. I create a /usr/bin/python symlink to /usr/bin/python2 and then the package build completed.

Corrected in a new PKGBUILD. Thx a lot for reporting.

Hello,
I'd like to use your packet, but building it gives me an error.

Do you have an idea? If i could test something or you need me to provide more information, let me know.

Thanks in advance

LIO is in the kernel since 2.6.38 but the iSCSI target support is in 3.1. So you either have to wait or try 3.1rc linux-mainline: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=50893

Either way you have to somehow build the iscsi_target module. Without iscsi you can also use tcm_loop or tcm_fc, which are already working in 3.0
