Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : openwbem Version : 3.0.2 Upstream Author : Vintela Inc. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and others. * URL : http://openwbem.sourceforge.net/ * License : BSD Description : An open source implementation of DMTF system management standards.
(RLE) An excerpt from README: OpenWBEM is a set of software components that help facilitate the deployment of the DMTF's (Distributed Management Task Force) CIM/WBEM technologies. If you are not familiar with the DMTF and it's technologies, you might want to visit their web site at http://www.dmtf.org. This software was initially developed by Caldera International and released to the opensource community under a BSD style license for further maturation and additional platform support. On initial release, all of the software components were written in C++. We expect this to change as the project evolves and developers add more components to the suite. (RLE) This is a part of my effort of adding WBEM capabilities to Debian. As OpenWBEM implements only a bare framework (say, 'core'), there are more software packages needed to create a functional WBEM system management solution, notably sblim* packages and some WBEM clients. Currently I have a proof-of-concept solution consisting of openwbem CIMOM server, three sets of management provider plugins and a simple WBEM client. However, it still lacks many of debian policy requirements: a Debian-compliant version of all packages will be available soon (I hope :) -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.7-ca9100 Locale: LANG=pl_PL, LC_CTYPE=pl_PL (ignored: LC_ALL set to pl_PL)
