Thanks Thierry for summarizing the concerns. I have a new version in https://github.com/rackspace/python-novatools
This does the following: 1. Renames the cmdline tool to nova. The package is still python-novatools 2. Ups the version # to 2.1 3. Changes the license to Apache for 2.1+. Prior versions are still BSD 4. Adds Openstack & Apache copyright notices to all source files. 5. Better exception reporting (real functionality!) I have not moved the code into nova since, with these changes, getting it into the PPA should be less arduous. If anyone has any concerns with this plan, please comment in this thread or attend the openstack meeting tomorrow. I've added it to the agenda: http://wiki.openstack.org/Meetings Thanks again and sorry for raising the dead :) -Sandy On Fri, Feb 25, 2011 at 3:20 AM, Thierry Carrez <thie...@openstack.org<mailto:thie...@openstack.org>> wrote: Thierry Carrez wrote: That's three separate issues. (1) do we need a fork, (2) last changes to python-novatools before making them packageable (rename tool and file header fixes), and (3) make it part of lp:nova or not (and where) On (1) I think we need to be able to control the code, which leaves two options: (1a) JKM gives ownership to us, renames package to something more less cloudservers-branded or (1b) Let python-cloudservers live and fork our own nova-branded tool. Since (1b) is kinda already done and given our time contraints, I tend to lean in (1b) direction. (2) must be done in all cases since that's a bit of prerequisite for proper packaging. On (2)/(3) I think we should rename the tool to "nova" and move the python-novatools code in nova codebase *only if* it can be reused in the long-term plan: if we plan to drop it and replace the "nova" CLI tool by something completely different that does not support the same commands, then I think it should rather live outside the nova source tree. Do we think the current tool can be reused as-is in the long-term plan ? Also note that (3) creates a contraint of keeping the client code up to date with the rest of nova and prevents it to change after a release, but maybe that's a good thing :) -- Thierry Carrez (ttx) Release Manager, OpenStack Confidentiality Notice: This e-mail message (including any attached or embedded documents) is intended for the exclusive and confidential use of the individual or entity to which this message is addressed, and unless otherwise expressly indicated, is confidential and privileged information of Rackspace.
