OpenStack

OpenStack consists of a number services for running IaaS clouds. They are the Object Store (Swift), Compute (Nova) and Image (Glance) services.

This page tracks Fedora Cloud SIG's effort to include OpenStack packages in Fedora.

A yum repository with Fedora 16 test packages for Nova and Glance is available here

See Getting started with OpenStack Nova for details on how to try out the packages from this repo.

Build minimal Fedora images for people to use when testing Nova
Make Nova add the appropriate iptables rules so that it works with Fedora's default firewall configuration
Send these trivial patches to upstream Nova
Request that python-eventlet be updated in Fedora to the latest upstream which contains the greenpipe fix
Send the python-migrate fix upstream and request that it be cherry-picked into the Fedora package
Get the correct version of python-xattr included in Fedora so that glance image caching can be used

It may be be useful to compare OpenStack's packaging on other distributions. See the OpenStack Packaging wiki
