   wget http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.lua/cloudstack/releases/4.10.0.0/apache-cloudstack-4.10.0.0-src.tar.bz2

   Or clone the source code on github, and then switch to the 4.10.0 branch

2. Extracted source code

   tar -xvf apache-cloudstack-4.10.0.0-src.tar.bz2

    

3. Configure the Yum source for MySQL

   cat << eof >  /etc/yum.repos.d/mysql.repo
   [mysql-community]
   name=MySQL Community connectors
   baseurl=http://repo.mysql.com/yum/mysql-connectors-community/el/$releasever/$basearch/
   enabled=1
   gpgcheck=1
   eof

4. Import GPG public key from MySQL

   rpm --import http://repo.mysql.com/RPM-GPG-KEY-mysql

5. Install mysql-connector

   yum install mysql-connector-python

6. Install openjdk, mysql, maven, etc.

   yum install java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel.x86_64 genisoimage mysql mysql-server ws-commons-util MySQL-python tomcat maven

    

7. Install netscaler, vmware and other jars to the local maven repository

   #进入deps目录
   [root@czfbsdb500h01 cloudstack]# cd deps
   
   #执行如下wget下载jar包
   wget http://zooi.widodh.nl/cloudstack/build-dep/cloud-manageontap.jar
   wget http://zooi.widodh.nl/cloudstack/build-dep/cloud-iControl.jar
   wget http://zooi.widodh.nl/cloudstack/build-dep/vmware-vim.jar
   wget http://zooi.widodh.nl/cloudstack/build-dep/vmware-vim25.jar
   wget http://zooi.widodh.nl/cloudstack/build-dep/vmware-apputils.jar
   wget http://zooi.widodh.nl/cloudstack/build-dep/cloud-netscaler.jar
   
   #下载成功后执行安装到本地maven仓库
   [root@czfbsdb500h01 deps]# ./install-non-oss.sh 

8. Generate RPM package

   cd packaging/
   ./package.sh -d centos7

   Note: The initial packaging execution time is very long

9. Generate RPM package directory as follows

   [root@czfbsdb500h01 x86_64]# pwd
   /root/apache-cloudstack-4.10.0.0-src/dist/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64
