Severity: normal
Dear Mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for our team's package - MooseFS
Package name : moosefs
Version : 2.0.83-1
URL : https://moosefs.com
Section : admin
Upstream Author : Jakub Kruszona-Zawadzki <jakub.kruszona@moosefs.com>
URL : https://moosefs.com
Sources URL : http://ppa.moosefs.com/src/
or : https://moosefs.com/download/sources.html
License : GPL-2
Programming Lang : C, Python
Dependencies : libpcap0.8, python, libfuse2
Description : MooseFS (MFS) is a fault tolerant, reliable, highly available,
highly performing, scaling-out network distributed file system. It spreads
data over several physical servers which are visible to the user as one
resource. For standard file operations MooseFS mounted with FUSE acts
as other Unix-alike file systems.
It builds the following binary packages:
moosefs-master - MooseFS metadata and managing server
moosefs-metalogger - MooseFS metadata backup server
moosefs-chunkserver - MooseFS data storage component
moosefs-client - MooseFS client tools
moosefs-cgi - MooseFS CGI interface
moosefs-cgiserv - MooseFS CGI webserver
moosefs-netdump - MooseFS network packet dump utility
We're already publishing our own packages repository
(https://moosefs.com/download/ubuntudebian.html)
(http://ppa.moosefs.com/stable/apt/debian/)
We would like to make MooseFS available directly in Debian! :)
Long description:
MooseFS (MFS) is a fault tolerant, reliable, highly available,
highly performing, scaling-out network distributed file system. It spreads
data over several physical servers which are visible to the user as one
resource. For standard file operations MooseFS mounted with FUSE acts
as other Unix-alike file systems:
* A hierarchical structure (directory tree)
* Stores POSIX file attributes (permissions, last access and modification times)
* Supports special files (block and character devices, pipes and sockets)
* Supports directory ("project") quotas
* Supports POSIX ACLs and extended attributes
* Symbolic links (file names pointing to target files, not necessarily on MooseFS)
and hard links (different names of files which refer to the same data on MooseFS)
* Access to the file system can be limited based on IP address and/or password
Distinctive features of MooseFS are:
* High availability
* High reliability (several copies of the data can be stored on separate computers)
* Capacity is dynamically expandable by simply adding new computers/disks
* Deleted files are retained for a configurable period of time
(a file system level "trash bin")
* Coherent snapshots of files, even while the file is being written/accessed
Best regards,
