Hi Chris: The packages with REHL 1.11.0 (openstack EPEL repo) also does not have ovs-controller. I wanted to explore a use case of using ovs-controller to manage other ovs instances (without an external openflow controller). Thanks for the patch, I will try it.

Yes, that's how we build it now at RH. The attached patch should build the controller as a separate sub-package. thanks, -chris _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
