By FAR the desireable way to install this suite is via RPMs from a
suitable repository via e.g. yum.  On a good day you can accomplish this
by any of the following means (you will likely need RPM_TOPDIR to point
to a valid rpm build tree):

 rpmbuild --rebuild wulfware-whatever.src.rpm

or just:

 autogen.sh
 configure --prefix=/usr
 make rpm  (or just make).

in the toplevel directory of the untarballed source (where you are
reading this file, presumably).  Give it a try, what can it hurt?  Or
you can unpack it, put the tarball in your SOURCE directory, the
specfile in your SPECS directory and do an

 rpmbuild -ba warewulf.spec

where this would let you hack away on the sources first.  Note that

 make tgz

should in general make you a tarball that can go in SOURCE so that this
works.

Feel free to write me with bug reports or to ask (within reason) for
features.  Please do this via the wulfware mailing list:

  https://lists.phy.duke.edu/mailman/listinfo/wulfware

(which is a LOW TRAFFIC mailing list for users/contributors of the
project) although I generally answer personal mail as well at
rgb at phy duke edu (obfuscated).

The latest version (2.6.0) has support for multicore processors and
reports the number of processor cores/CPU under the "Time" display.
With quad core processors (and 8-16 core systems) around the corner so
to speak, I'll probably have to add back a direct cpu load display, per
core.  That would be somewhat useful even on a single box, as most
existing tools won't show per core statistics and a load average of 2
means very different things on a single core or a four core machine...

Report any problems with this, or bug me if you want new changes.
