Hi Brian,
My sourceforge username is "olahaye74" (Olivier LAHAYE) (74 is because there
was plenty of olivier.lahaye in France ;-))
I'm very glad to participate. In the meantime, I must let you know that I'm not
extremely skilled in perl/python and such. I've modified systemimager so it can
deploy oscar on centos6. The RPMS I've released are ok on centos6, but I've
discovered that they can't build on centos5. In fact, the build system (initrd)
after compiling some package does complete the initrd by copying missing libs
from the build host system. Unfortunately, this behaviour breaks things as we
have some binaries linked with libs that are too far in versions to be
compatible (missing simbols).
What I want to say is that I'm a little bit afraid to make modifications that
could break the whole stuff because my developper skills are not extreme (I'm
sysadmin in 1st place).
Also I've never participated in such a project and thus I'm not familiar with
how such modifications can go to the svn. (and I don't want to break things)
For example, I've had to upgrade a component, and to change the build script so
it makes install instead of copying the resulting binaries as the new version
uses libtool and the old copying method was copying the wrapper instead of the
lib itself. This change had an impact to the centos5 compatibility. I mean, my
modification let the thing build on centos6, but in the meantime, centos5
became incompatible...
In the end, right now, my rpms cant be build on centos5, though, they can
deploy any OS. This means that the deploy server must be centos6.
Best resgards.

Sun, Olivier,
Please send me your SourceForge usernames. I appreciate your efforts, and
would like to grant you both commit privileges to the SVN repository, so that
you can commit your patches directly.
Bas, Franck, the same goes for you two if you wish.
Regarding a fork, that is generally necessary because one does not have the
ability to modify the upstream original. I will happily grant you this access,
as I think it would be better for the community to improve the main code stream
rather than to have a fork. I know that SALI has special circumstances that
made a fork appropriate for them, at least previously, but I would also be
happy to allow that fork to merge into the mainstream if SALI considers that
desirable.
Lastly, with regard to SystemConfigurator, it is no longer being maintained,
and we should work to eliminate our dependency on it. With modern Linuxes this
should be very feasible through the use of SystemImager postscripts for setup
of boot manager (Grub) and networking (if desirable).
All -- feel free to call me if you have any questions. Just bear in mind that
I'm generally somewhere in GMT-5 through GMT-7. ;-) If unsure, start with a
text message, or leave a voice mail if I don't answer right away, but I'll be
glad to discuss. My mobile is 469.444.0167.
Cheers, -Brian

Hi Olivier,
Thanks for this sharing!
Have you cloning Centos-6.3 with these rpms successfully? I tried to use them
for redhat6.3 cloning, bug failed...
