[lsst-dm-stack-users] Using eups without internet connection : DM-602

[Fabrice Jammes]

Hi eups experts,

By retrieving products generated on lsst-dev.ncsa.illinois.edu using 
lsstsw to a local machine, I tried to setup a local distserver which 
could be usable without internet connection.
This may be useful for a cluster install, indeed clusters usually don't 
have internet access.

It seems I'm near from making it work, but I've got one last problem 
with the REPOSITORY variable of pkginfo file :

qserv at clrinfoport09:~/stack $ cat 
EupsBuildDir/Linux64/antlr-2.7.7/antlr-2.7.7/ups/pkginfo
PRODUCT='antlr'
VERSION='2.7.7'
FLAVOR='generic'
SOURCE='git'
SHA1='c05368a54fb7186d977896fa1a6db94a02d6d887'
REPOSITORY='git://git.lsstcorp.org/contrib/eupspkg/antlr.git'
REPOVERSION='c05368a54fb7186d977896fa1a6db94a02d6d887'


Indeed, I need to replace this value with the value of my local antlr 
repos :
/space/data-qserv/qserv-dist/git-repositories/antlr/

I tried different solutions like :
eups distrib install antlr 
--server-option="REPOSITORY=/space/data-qserv/qserv-dist/git-repositories/%(product)s"
but it doesn't work.

Would you have a solution please ? Or will it require some update in 
eups and newinstall.sh code ?

Cheers,

Fabrice
