RE: [hobbit] clientupdate help

Sounds like you may have created your tar file incorrectly.  The
somewhat sketchy instructions say to create the tarball relative to the
client directory, not root.

	The plot thickens, I can now do a clientupdate...sort of, for
some damnable reason it puts itself under
/usr/local/hobbit/client/hobbit/client/ (the repeated hobbit/client is
not a mistake) any ideas why it would do this?? Running tar xvf on the
files on the server creates the directories in the same directory as the
tar (i.e. no hobbit/client) so why is it doing it on the client side? Do
I need to alter BBHOME somehow?

	 

	Thanks,

	Jason.

	Hi All,

	 

	Have been working with clientupdate to get our server's RE-IP to
go smoothly but am having problems, I put the tar files into ~/download
and alter client-local.cfg to do:

	 

	[Foo.bar] 

	            ClientID=server_move

	 

	The file under ~/download is call server_move.tar and has 777
permissions

	 

	The problem is it isn't working and I can't see a reason why,
when on foo.bar itself I run:

	 

	~/bin/clientupdate -update=server_move

	 

	And get the output:

	 

	tar: blocksize = 0

	 

	even adding .tar to the end of the -update does nothing, is
there any other way I can see what is happening and why it is going
wrong?

	 

	Thanks,

	Jason.
