So I had a look... http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/precise/nova/precise/view/head:/debian/control That splits nova into 26 sub packages, which seems a bit excessive to me and you don't get the space distribution advantage at that level of splitting for example. But the important thing is that there are mid level packages in ubuntu that align fairly closely, with the Fedora proposed split. I.E. Ubuntu Fedora -------------------------------------- python-nova python-nova nova-compute openstack-nova-compute nova-volume openstack-nova-volume nova-network openstack-nova-network nova-cert openstack-nova-cert nova-objectstore openstack-nova-objectstore nova-api openstack-nova-api nova-console openstack-nova-console The last 2 might not map closely, anyway... I suppose we could rename the new Fedora nova packages to remove the "openstack-" prefix to minimize mapping config like: http://www.puppetcookbook.com/posts/packages-with-different-name-per-distro.html On the other hand there are always going to be packaging differences like this, and the config to handle this is well supported and can be isolated in one place as shown at the URL above. For example Fedora's openstack-glance corresponds to "glance" in debian. Also having an openstack- prefix seems a bit more consistent to me. For example there is the openstack-dashboard package in ubuntu rather than just "dashboard". So I'm leaning towards keeping the proposed package naming/structure, given that the mapping is easy would need to be done anyway? cheers, Pádraig. _______________________________________________ cloud mailing list [email protected] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/cloud
