I fail to understand why on earth people who have been using resource-agents 1.0.x (that is to say, installed their stuff in 2009 or later) would a) run on EVMS, b) make use of EVMS SCCs. It must be OK to remove dead or outdated functionality. And anything related to EVMS definitely qualifies. I mean, to use resource-agents, people would have to convert their clusters to Pacemaker, potentially switch cluster messaging layers, and quite possibly upgrade to a recent distro version. And then continue to rely not only on EVMS, but on EVMS' clustering functionality?

I'm at >> a loss for words. So you would have a symlink that one package creates, to a script belonging to another package? I am pretty sure that would violate the packaging policy of just about any distribution, unless the linking package also required the package it links to. I believe your symlink suggestion would essentially mean that resource-agents would require drbd. Please correct me if you disagree. > I think that we need a different approach to the matter. I'm all ears for suggestions. In fact I am much in favor of amending the RA metadata schema to cover deprecation. Are there any other suggestions on the table at this point? Cheers, Florian
