====== Building a new Sequoia ======

Build new [[centos_build|CentOS box]] (or maybe you want a different UNIX?  Doesn't really matter?)

  * Start by making a "General use WPICS machine."
  * Change FSTAB to mount csmail:/var/mail as /var/spool/cs-mail instead of mounting it normally.
  * Don't forget the sendmail SMART_HOST setup.

=== packages ===


Various people want(ed?)

  * Emacs, GnuPlot, SHARUTILS, fortune
  * detex (detex is on RPMforge)
  * tetex
  * alpine
  * openldap-clients (setup for WPI OpenLDAP)
  * mpack (mime pack-unpack program--rpmforge)
  * xfig
  * transfig
  * latex2html (contains "texexpand")
  * w3m
  * gv (i.e., ghostview)

=== BUILD FROM SOURCE ===

These packages aren't available (?) from CentOS package repos, and will need to be built and installed by hand:

  * nmh (MH Mail handler, for Elke -- needs libtermcap-devel, flex, et.al)
  * vacation (CentOS has no vacation program?!)
  * ical (for DCB, for Gennert and CCaron)

=== PITFALLS ===

PROCMAIL and the VACATION program must work on sequoia.  See [[centos_build#sendmail]] and look for "PROCMAIL ".

procmail delivery will also fail if the recipients SHELL is not in /etc/shells ... so since sequoia uses the /shell system from
password propigation, procmail delivery will fail unless we put the /shell/[...] shells into the list in /etc/shells.

Don't forget to add PRINTERS

Don't forget to add MAIL ALIASES from the old revision of the machine.
