Fedora Grid Computing SIG

The goal of the Fedora Grid Computing Special Interest group is to gather people interested in packaging grid software within Fedora.

Grid computing can mean different things to different people, it is certainly distributed computing with a security infrastructure. Relevant software can include:

Data management software
Batch Systems
Information Systems
Job Submission Systems
Security, authentication, authorization software
Messaging Software

Group Aims

Link to other related groups. MPI, clouds.
Create a yum group of grid client tools.
Document some of the basic setup of grid software as provided within Fedora.

Packagers/Reviewers/People

Communication

A mailing has been set up for discussion, package requests, comments: grid-computing mailing list.

Packages already in Fedora and Fedora/EPEL

Software	Package DB Entry	Notes
ActiveMQ CPP	activemq-cpp	Messaging Lib
BDII	bdii	Grid Information System
Boinc Client	boinc

Package Wishlist

Add condor to EPEL mail thread, #569598
- Package condor's chirp_client library #602861
Add voms-admin. Requires struts2 which requires myfaces-tobago which requires myfaces which requires...
- Let's do php-voms-admin instead (see above) - same functionality, but much fewer dependencies
Add gridway
Add grifi

Enable python26 builds of dpm and lfc on EPEL5 #606056
Add cvmfs, http://cernvm.cern.ch/, work in progress cvmfs
Add OpenNebula, http://opennebula.org

Completed Wishlist Items

Add xrootdfs, has no license at all, mailed upstream. Upstream will clarify with next release. Now released as part of the xrootd package.
