22 Configuring for development
23 ---------------------------
27 Run the following command (only use ``PYTHON=...`` if you need to use a
28 different python version)::
31 ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var
37 Ganeti is mostly developped and tested on `Debian
38 <http://www.debian.org/>`_-based distributions, while still keeping
39 adoptability to other Linux distributions in mind.
41 The ``doc/examples/`` directory contains a number of potentially useful
42 scripts and configuration files. Some of them might need adjustment
48 This script, in the source code as ``daemons/daemon-util.in``, is used
49 to start/stop Ganeti and do a few other things related to system
50 daemons. Is is recommended to use ``daemon-util`` also from the system's
51 init scripts. That way the code starting and stopping daemons is shared
52 and future changes have to be made in only one place.
54 ``daemon-util`` reads extra arguments from variables (``*_ARGS``) in
55 ``/etc/default/ganeti``. When modifying ``daemon-util``, keep in mind to
56 not remove support for the ``EXTRA_*_ARGS`` variables for starting
57 daemons. Some parts of Ganeti use them to pass additional arguments when
60 The ``reload_ssh_keys`` function can be adjusted to use another command
61 for reloading the OpenSSH daemon's host keys.
