Nova To Do
Some longer term TODO items which can be tracked in bugzilla after the package has been included:
- Get this patch merged upstream
- Add tmpfiles.d configuration
- Switch from sysvinit scripts to systemd units
- SELinux policy
- Make Nova add the appropriate iptables rules so that it works with Fedora's default firewall configuration
- Figure out what to do about ajaxterm - can we use the system version?
no-manual-page-for-binary
warnings - file bug upstream- Figure out a real fix for sphinx-build segfault
- Build minimal Fedora images for people to use when testing Nova

- It may be be useful to compare OpenStack's packaging on other distributions. See the OpenStack Packaging wiki
OpenStack in EPEL
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}
Packages in EPEL
- openstack-swift
Packages needing to be added to EPEL
- openstack-glance (docs fail to build, otherwise it builds fine http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=3309617)
- openstack-nova
- needs python-distutils-extra >= 2.18 not yet in epel. rawhide version thereof builds fine in koji for el6.
- python-novaclient (docs fail to build, otherwise it builds fine http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=3309646)
