Install ocfs on Fedora

Question

I am not able to install ocfs2-tools on Fedora OS. According to google this should be enough: yum install -y ocfs2-tools (it says: cannot find the package).I Tried: yum install ocfs2-tools.x86_64.I Tried: yum list available | grep -l 'ocfs' (there is no such package). On ubuntu it should be: apt-get install ocfs2tools. How can I install ocf2 tool on Fedora distribution ?

edited: I downloaded ocfs2-tools-e797cf5f27e9d4238efe27fa2203b102e44246f6.tar.gz from fedora git. Installed "Development tools". I tried to run ./configure script, but I got message: "Unable to find com_err library" so I installed e2fsprogs-devel and after I tried to run configure script I got message: "Unable to find uuid library" so I installed libuuid and libblkid-devel and I got message: "Unable to find ncurses library" ... help :)

ocfs2-tools package is no longer shipped in fedora repository since Fedora 16:

This package was retired on 2011-07-25 due to it being unable to build this package for multiple releases (FTBFS)

See this commit in dist git.

So it looks like building this package yourself would require more effort icluding patching the sources.

If you really like to dig deeper, good start would be (on a fedora machine):

fedpkg clone --anonymous ocfs2-tools
cd ocfs2-tools
fedpkg switch-branch f15

So that now you have everything (spec file, patches) needed to build the package for Fedora 15 (the last version):

$ ls 
minor_build_fixes.diff  no_stonithd.diff  o2cb_pcmk.diff  ocfs2-tools.spec  sources

Now you can try to install build dependencies (yum-builddep ocfs2-tools.spec executed under root) and try to build it, check the errors and fix all the problems ...
