Thinking about that, ClusterLabs may be considered a brand established well enough for "clusterlabs" provider to work better than anything general such as previously proposed "core". Also, it's not expected there will be more RA-centered projects under this umbrella than resource-agents (pacemaker deserves to be a provider on its own), so it would be pretty unambiguous pointer. And for new, not well-tested agents within resource-agents, there could also be a provider schema akin to "clusterlabs-staging" introduced. 1 CZK > in one step with bumping to-be-added conformance parameter in > meta-data denoting that the RA in question reflects the requirements > of the new revision of OCF/resource agents API (and, apparently, in > one step with delivering any conformance adjustments needed, such as > mentioned "unique" indicator). > > Original thread regarding this related suggestion from 3 years ago: > http://lists.linux-ha.org/pipermail/linux-ha/2013-July/047320.html > > spanned also into the following month: > http://lists.linux-ha.org/pipermail/linux-ha/2013-August/047368.html > >> We could also add the fence agent API as a new spec, or expand the >> RA spec to cover both. > > Definitely, the spec(s) should be as language-agnostic as possible > (so no pretending that, e.g., fencing library of fence-agents is > a panacea to hide all the interaction/inteface details; the goal > of the standardization work should be to allow truly interchangeable > components). > >> [...] >> >> [1] >> http://www.opencf.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/specs/ra/resource-agent-api.txt?rev=HEAD -- Jan (Poki)
