The other part of my setup (besides automated kickstart install building, 
which I won't discuss for now; ask me if interested) is how to quickly build 
RPMs out of the binary ATLAS tarballs which Pearu nicely compiles for us at 
scipy.org.  This is accomplished with the attached code.

Instructions:

1. Simply put all of this somewhere in your filesystem.

2. Make a src/ subdir there and put in src/ the ATLAS tarballs you want to 
make RPMs for from

http://www.scipy.org/download/atlasbinaries/linux

These should be the uncompressed, untouched .tgz files you download.  Don't 
modify them in any way.  Note that it is CRITICAL for this to work that they 
are named

atlas<VERSION>_Linux_<ARCH>.tgz

ARCH is the string which the scripts and configs in my other email all refer 
to, and which allow you to handle multiple architectures and YUM in harmony 
(via the $YUM<N> variables, ARCH is stored as $YUM1).

3. Copy the COPYRIGHT notice to src/, so each RPM gets built with the right 
notice.  This is to comply with the copyright requirements of ATLAS

4. Read the top-level docstring for make.py, it explains the running, which is 
trivial.


This will give you rpms which you can then drop in your architecture-specific 
yum repositories (yum${RELEASEVER}-arch/${ARCH}), and you can then handle with 
the same config multiple machines with different architectures cleanly.

I don't claim this to be perfect, but it works for me.  If it breaks badly, 
you either get to keep all the pieces, or you can send me the _fixed_ version :)

Regards,

f

ps.  If this works for people, I'd like to ask Pearu to keep his current 
naming conventions for the future.  It would be nice if we could keep these 
scripts in use for the long run without having to tweak them too much. 
Changning ATLAS version numbers is trivial (one variable), but mucking with 
the naming structure would require fiddling with the code.
