OpenStack packaging progress
by Mark McLoughlin 15 Sep '11

15 Sep '11

Hey, Since this effort stalled again recently, I've done some work to try and push it along. The details are on the wiki page: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/OpenStack But to summarize, I have: * Submitted package review requests for openstack-glance and openstack-novaclient: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/731966 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/731980 * Hopefully gotten openstack-nova closer to the packaging guidelines: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/707199 * Set up a repo with packages for Fedora 16 and posted a "getting started" wiki page https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Getting_started_with_OpenStack_Nova * Documented the TODO list: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/OpenStack#Nova_To_Do What you can do to help: * Review the nova, novaclient and glance packages. Pretty please :) * Volunteer to co-maintain the packages * Try out the "getting started" instructions and point out any problems * Help out with the TODO list - e.g. building minimal Fedora images or packaging python-xattr * Do something more non-trivial with Nova, document it on the wiki and report the inevitable problems you run into All the groundwork here was done here by the folks from Mirantis and Grid Dynamics, as well as Silas Sewell, David Nalley and Matt Domsch - so kudos all around. Cheers, Mark.

Re: Yum S3 plugin

So, I gather no one can shed some light on this? anyone? bueller? The bug (point #2) doesn't really stop the plugin from working, but it is annoying.

OpenStack approved by FESCo as a feature
by Robyn Bergeron 13 Sep '11

13 Sep '11

Subject says it all. Well, not entirely; they want us to do a test day, particularly since we missed Alpha, which I told them was in the works. So we have to follow through there - I'll be getting this in the queue later this afternoon when I have a chance. :) -Robyn

Yum S3 plugin
by Jorge Gallegos 09 Sep '11

09 Sep '11

(to both cloud@ and devel@) I was interested in a yum plugin to support S3, and discovered [1]this forum post, where Seth and James basically gave their thumbs up. The author (Robert Mela, even though he's not the original author either) made it work and there was some feedback provided, which I incorporated, along with a bunch of small improvements in my [2]github branch. Robert says in the forum post that he'll be happy if someone shepherds this into completion and I'm more than happy to try. Right now the plugin works, is a bit more aligned with the yum plugin architecture I think (I'd really like it to be true :) and also allows you to set the S3 credentials on a global, per-repo or using environment variables. There are 2 things I want to complete/need help with: - Package it as an RPM: I have a half-finished spec for this and I should have no problems finishing as long as I can deal with the item below: - Fix an annoying bug where the plugin creates an empty yum cachedir in the current directory. This is because the way the plugin works, it creates a copy of the original repo with a different grabber based on boto/urllib2 and then copies the rest of the attributes. However when the [3]new repo is created, basecachedir is empty. Can any of you fine people spot a way around that? it's been bugging me for a good week now. thoughts? comments? suggestions? let me know :) Cheers ~kad PS if you're asking yourselves: Why would you need this plugin if you can create websites off an S3 bucket? the answer is: using S3 offers more granularity to share, instead of just opening up the contents of the bucket to the entire world.
