[opensuse-factory] New package clustershell
Hi, Please consider my incoming submitrequest of package clustershell to Factory. I’m in the development team of ClusterShell and I already build RPM packages for other distros. ClusterShell consists in a Python library and cli tools to ease and improve cluster and server farms system administration. More info at http://clustershell.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ . In our case, ClusterShell is a building block of our HPC stack at the Stanford Research Computing Center, used on server farms just as well as on large HPC clusters. The project is now 10-year old, was originally initiated at the CEA, France where it is used there on even larger clusters (several thousands of nodes). Its strength is the handling of multi-dimensional node sets and also node groups, with the ability to bind with external sources to define node groups. ClusterShell optionally uses a tree mode command propagation scheme (over ssh, mrsh, etc.) to execute administrative commands in a scalable way. The project has recently regained in development activity and interest from users but also HPC vendors, especially with Python 3 support in the next release. This is why I would like to maintain this package in Factory, devel feeder project would be network:cluster, where a request is currently pending. Let me know if you have any question. Thanks much!

Thanks Stephane for the introduction, and the effort. I wonder why you didn't go for devel:languages:python repository if this is «just» a Python framework ? -- Bruno Friedmann Ioda-Net Sàrl www.ioda-net.ch Bareos Partner, openSUSE Member, fsfe fellowship GPG KEY : D5C9B751C4653227 irc: tigerfoot -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Hi Bruno! Good point. I think there are two kind of users of ClusterShell, developers who use the library to build their own cluster apps, and end users (eg. sysadmins) just using the cli tools (like clush, nodeset/cluset). Seeing current packages in network:cluster, it just made sense to me to feed it from there, to emphasis on the ‘cluster' aspect. But I don’t mind using devel:languages:python at all if you think it’s better. Thanks, Stephane
