[Pkg-gridengine-devel] Bug#776830: gridengine-master package missing util/ directory necessary for JSVs

[Guillaume Raffy]

Package: gridengine-master
Version: 6.2u5-7.1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

This issue has already been reported by Jonathan Clark on 2011-12-07, as https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gridengine/+bug/901308. But as it doesn't seem to have been addressed at the moment (not even a reply), I tend to think that it hasn't been reported at the right place (?), and that's why I report it here :

"Using Job Submission Verifiers (JSV) requires support scripts in the $SGE_ROOT/util directory (see http://wikis.sun.com/display/gridengine62u3/Writing+JSV+Scripts) . This directory is not installed by the gridengine-master package, preventing use of JSV's (and perhaps other functionality)."

As I recently attempted to replace a manual gridengine-master install with an automated install with the gridengine-master, I discovered that gridengine-master is missing the job submit verification utilities that can be found in sge 6.2u5. In order to make my job submit verification scripts usable, I had to "hack" my gridengine-master install by adding the missing pieces from sge 6.2u5 (some in $SGE_ROOT/util, and some others in $SGE_ROOT/utilbin).

Although these missing bits are not strictly speaking mandatory to make gridengine-master work, I beleive they are useful in real life situations, and they could be part of a separate new package (eg gridengine-master-utils).
