Hi Once a common library is in place, is there any intention to (or resistance against) collapsing the clients into a single project or even a single command (a la busybox)? (I'm thinking reduced load for packagers, simpler installation for users, etc) Cheers, -- Chris Jones Based on the email I sent; ideally we'd expand the blueprint to include these details and speak to the PTLs for each project. Ideally (IMO) yes - long term they would be collapsed into one or two packages to install. However at very least the code can be made so that the core functionality is in the common/single sdk backend and openstackcli, and each project CLI can derive their named/branded project specific one for that. For standalone installs of nova or swift for example; not pushing users to use the entire openstackclient makes sense, instead guiding users to use a tool dedicated to that. There are pros and cons on both sides, meeting in the middle at least collapses the heavy lifting into the common code base.

There's a blueprint [1] in oslo, and I believe the keystone devs and unified CLI teams are probably interested in ensuring that the resulting API ends up meeting all of our various requirements. If you're interested in this effort, please subscribe to the blueprint and use that to coordinate efforts so we don't produce more than one common library. ;-) Thanks, Doug [1] https://blueprints.launchpad.net/oslo/+spec/common-client-library-2 _______________________________________________ OpenStack-dev mailing list OpenStack-dev@lists.openstack.org<mailto:OpenStack-dev@lists.openstack.org> http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev _______________________________________________ OpenStack-dev mailing list OpenStack-dev@lists.openstack.org<mailto:OpenStack-dev@lists.openstack.org> http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
