Hello Robert, Our initial idea is to help out with the initial packaging effort, but not with the maintenance. OpenNebula doesn't have many dependencies, certainly not as many as Eucalyptus, so it shouldn't be very tricky to package it. In any case, if you or someone from your team decides to take a look at it, please let us know, we will be happy to help you out with anything we can. Thanks a lot for your interest, Jaime On Fri, Dec 17, 2010 at 1:03 PM, Robert Schweikert wrote:

Hello,

I'm an OpenNebula [1] developer, and we would like to include OpenNebula in mainstream openSUSE. OpenNebula has already been accepted in Debian sid and in Ubuntu.

Is there anyone interested in becoming the package maintainer for this project? We already have a working spec file so there's no need to start from scratch. The main challenge I see it that OpenNebula depends on xmlrpc-c libraries which aren't directly available on openSUSE. Nevertheless these packages are provided by the hamradio project [2], in particular packages: xmlrpc-c and libxmlrpc-c-devel.

We have a project Virtualization:Cloud where this would fit nicely. I am currently fighting with Eucalyptus, thus have no time to invest in getting OpenNebula building and working. But generally it would be good to have this. Do you have any interest in helping with the packaging and maintenance effort?

Thanks, Robert

Packages are now building in Virtualization::Cloud

Here is the repo (http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Virtualization:/Cloud/openSUSE_11....)

Testing is needed.

There are still a number of warnings that need to be evaluated and fixed, but his is a first go around.

I'd say the train for 11.4 has left the station, considering the release schedule and the work left to do on these packages (plus Factory build is broken). But we can certainly target 11.5, or 12.0, or whatever the release after 11.4 will be.

Jaime, If you don't know it is relatively straight forward for a user to add a repo and install supplemental packages, so just because it won't be part of the official 11.4 release does not mean it will not be usable with 11.4. Users wanting to install OpenNebula will just need to add the Virtualization::Cloud repo. In fact you can see it is building now for 3 openSUSE versions already. https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=opennebula&project=Virtualization%3ACloud Greg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org

Hello Greg and Robert,

thanks a lot for the info! I've been browsing the Virtualization:Cloud:OpenNebula project site and I haven't figured yet a way to view the .spec file, is there a way?

Yes, you will need an OBS account and you need to be logged in. Goto: https://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=Virtualization%3ACloud%3AOpe... Click on "Packages" Click on "opennebula" Click on "Sources" Click on "opennebula.spec"

What is the working procedure, does the spec file live in a scm to which I can send patches to?

Once you have an OBS account you can edit the spec file in the browser. If you prefer you can send patches directly to me.

In any case I'll get around next week to test those packages in our OpenSUSE servers.
