Hi, Shortly I will submit two new packages to Factory: - libnbd https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/Virtualization/libnbd - nbdkit https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/Virtualization/nbdkit libnbd is a NBD client library in userspace, a simple library for writing NBD clients. The key features are: * Synchronous and asynchronous APIs, both for ease of use and for writing non-blocking, multithreaded clients. * High performance. * Minimal dependencies for the basic library. * Well-documented, stable API. * Bindings in several programming languages. nbdkit is a toolkit for creating NBD servers. The key features are: * Multithreaded NBD server written in C with good performance. * Minimal dependencies for the basic server. * Liberal license (BSD) allows nbdkit to be linked to proprietary libraries or included in proprietary code. * Well-documented, simple plugin API with a stable ABI guarantee. Lets you to export "unconventional" block devices easily. * You can write plugins in C or many other languages. * Filters can be stacked in front of plugins to transform the output. These packages are required by the Containerized Data Importer (CDI) [1], which will be submitted to Factory in the near future.
