Re: [DISCUSS] Terraform CloudStack provider

2021-02-01 Thread Rohit Yadav 
All,

I checked the repository again (was going to start a vote thread on the same), 
I think the terraform license could be an issue which is MPL. Can PMC guide us 
and comment if MPL is compatible with APL, and should we ask Hashicorp to 
relicense the repository before the CloudStack community and project takes over 
that repository?

The rough steps and tasks are:

  *   Discuss and resolve the issue of license compatbility and re-licensing to 
Apache License v2.0
  *   Create a new repository apache/cloudstack-terraform-provider that will 
takeover code (a git mirror or github repo transfer) from 
https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-provider-cloudstack
  *   CloudStack project will join Hashicorp Technology partnership program 
(see Wido's comment [1][2])
  *   The community will maintain and help with releases of the terraform 
provider

The alternative is interested parties just join the 
terraform-provider-cloudstack repo as maintainer/committers. Thoughts? Thanks.

Hey PLD,
You may want to tune into this. I think you may be maintaining a fork based on 
this code, but I am not positive.

AW: [DISCUSS] Terraform CloudStack provider

2021-02-01 Thread peter.muryshkin 
Hi there Rohit & all,

maybe worth to know, one of major dependencies used by the provider is a 
CloudStack stub which can be found here:

Project URL:
https://github.com/xanzy/go-cloudstack

Dependency link:
https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-provider-cloudstack/blob/9ca483a88d6ba5559b241db5b537ad7eaaa417a1/vendor/modules.txt#L218

kind regards
Peter Muryshkin
