Dear Maintainer,
Tomasz Buchert and I are working on introducing mininet, an SDN emulator
(http://mininet.org/) to Debian.
Mininet heavily depends on ovsk to provide OpenFlow switch but also an OpenFlow
controller.
Ovsk starting from version 2.1 ships ovsk-controller as test-controller and
resides in tests/ directory of the main source.
>From the NEWS of ovsk source:

- ovs-controller has been renamed test-controller. It is no longer
packaged or installed by default, because too many users assumed
incorrectly that ovs-controller was a necessary or desirable part
of an Open vSwitch deployment.
We ask you to ship this binary in the package, maybe a good solution would be
to do it similarly to Ubuntu,
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openvswitch/2.1.2-0ubuntu3
Whatever name you choose for this binary, we would need to patch mininet to
find it in $PATH. -- Dariusz Dwornikowski, Institute of Computing Science, Poznań University of Technology www.cs.put.poznan.pl/ddwornikowski/ room 2.7.2 BTiCW | tel. +48 61 665 29 41 _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
