[BioBrew Users] Re: [Rocks-Discuss]fail to install XML Kickstart profile for biobrew roll

[Glen Otero]

Chuming-

I'm not surprised by this since the roll building functionality in  
rocks-dist didn't build a biobrew.xml file when creating the roll.  
You'd think it would, but alas no. My recommendation is to take a  
look at the other rolls and manually create a biobrew xml kickstart  
file to insert into the build process. I've cc'd the biobrew list to  
enlist help there as well. No one else has reported this problem.
