Bug#768073: ITP: lxd - The Linux Container Daemon
Hi Adnan,
It's been more than a month already since you've said that we should
"stay tuned". Well, I can't hold my breath anymore... :)
Is there any update on the release of this package? Is there a temporary
Git repository which we could use for this packaging?
FYI, I have packaged and I have just uploaded python-pylxd (it currently
is in the NEW queue), which is needed by OpenStack Manila (ie: file
share as a service).
The upstream sources of python-pylxd are very much like the other
OpenStack source code I've been packaging for OpenStack: it uses PBR,
has {test-,}requirements.txt, and has (build-)dependencies on many
OpenStack components. So it makes a lot of sense to have it packaged
under the PKG OpenStack.
The main use of LXD, from Canonical point of view, is also so it can be
leveraged by OpenStack compute (ie: nova-lxd), to provision LXC
containers instead of using KVM. So, from my point of view, it would
also make a lot of sense to maintain LXD within the PKG OpenStack group
as well. I of course welcome anyone in this packaging group on Alioth. I
would very much like to be co-maintaining this package as well (even if
I don't know Go packaging so much).
As soon as we have LXD in Debian, I will add a nova-lxd source package
to the nova source package, so that it can depend on LXD itself, and set
the relevant /etc/nova/nova-compute.conf options.
Your thoughts?
Cheers,
Thomas Goirand (zigo)
