OpenGrok OS specific files

Creating Solaris packages

Solaris packages can be created via:

• SVR4:

/usr/bin/pkgmk -o -d build -r . -v ${version} -f solaris/pkgdef/prototype
/usr/bin/pkgtrans -s build OSOLopengrok-${version}.pkg OSOLopengrok

• IPS:

solaris/ips/create.sh -v ${version}

Using SMF service (Solaris) to maintain OpenGrok indexes

If you installed OpenGrok from the OSOLopengrok package, it will work out of the box. Should you need to configure it (e.g. because of non-default SRC_ROOT or DATA_ROOT paths) it is done via the opengrok property group of the service like this:

svccfg -s opengrok setprop opengrok/srcdir="/absolute/path/to/your/sourcetree"
svccfg -s opengrok setprop opengrok/maxmemory="2048"

Then make the service start the indexing, at this point it would be nice if the web application is already running.

Now enable the service:

svcadm enable -rs opengrok

Note that this will enable tomcat service as dependency.

When the service starts indexing for first time, it's already enabled and depending on tomcat, so at this point the web application should be already running.

Note that indexing is not done when the opengrok service is disabled.

To rebuild the index later (e.g. after source code changed) just run:

svcadm refresh opengrok

The service makes it possible to supply part of the configuration via the opengrok/readonly_config service property which is set to /etc/opengrok/readonly_configuration.xml by default.

Note: before removing the package please disable the service. If you don't do it, it will not be removed automatically. In such case please remove it manually.
