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.

See Getting started with OpenStack Nova for details on how to try out the OpenStack packages on Fedora 16.

python-nova-adminclient - a Python library for Nova's admin API
noVNC - a HTML5 VNC client
openstack-dashboard - self service web UI for OpenStack
openstack-melange - network information service (will be part of openstack-nova?)
openstack-quantum - network connectivity service
openstack-reddwarf - database as a service (will be part of openstack-nova?
openstack-keystone - identity service
openstack-burrow - message queue
crowbar - OpenStack deployment service and chef wrapper

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

All of the packages require python-sphinx. These all need at least this adjustment for EL6:

-BuildRequires:    python-sphinx
+%{?fedora:BuildRequires:    python-sphinx >= 1.0}
+%{?el6:BuildRequires:    python-sphinx10}

and to use sphinx-1.0-build instead of sphinx-build.

Packages in EPEL

Packages needing to be added to EPEL

openstack-glance (fixed in git, needs build)
