I am agree.
In any environment (lab, production, critical, etc), if between PVE and
LINBIT not has a perfect coordination for publish the updates of packages
for that together works perfectly, simply all people will stop using DRBD.
Also, if the plugin(s) of LINBIT not add features as monitor stats for DRBD,
and maybe other functions, of sure that with the time, DRBD will be
relegated, and it will not be good for the business of LINBIT.
So, I suppose the best thing would be that between PVE and LINBIT talk and
study the possibility of has a more close union, remember that the final
customer is who determine the tools that be more easy of use and give them
more benefits.

Hello Dietmar
You confirm exactly what I was afraid of. I fully agree that the package of
Linbit's drbdmanage shouldn't be in your package but I don't agree
concerning the DRBDPlugin.pm in '/usr/share/perl5/PVE/Storage'. This perl
script is the interface between PVE and DRBD. A stable or coordinated
versioning between 'PVE package - DRBDPlugin.pm - DRBD package' will be
critical.
A version change on Linbit's side or PVE side without adaption of the plugin
could hit a stable environment. I don't know who should be the
owner/developer of 'DRBDPlugin.pm', but anyway it needs a coordination
especially if PVE/DRBD9 is used in production. So I understand Michele's
hesitation.
Regards,
Enrica

In the end the license - and sure IANAL - is a "do whatever you like,
but don't interfere with LINBIT's support business". IMO that's it.
This was not a move against Proxmox at all, there are other vendors
not playing nice... Just writing that because on the ML I have the
impression that there is some kind of "Proxmox vs. LINBIT". It isn't.
I fully agree here.
For the "has to remove [...] completely": Puh, dangerous territory to
comment on, but that was the decision of Proxmox.
No, your new license implies that. It would be illegal to provide support
(in any way) for drbdmanage.
Besides, it would not make any sense to have two repositories including the
same packages - what for?
