Detailed Description
DIET is a grid toolkit originally developped by INRIA and now co-maintained with SysFera a company vishnu is a collection of DIET services co-developped by SysFera and EDF (energy company)

Benefit to Fedora
Fedora will take some benefit to offer a grid toolkit both easy and scalable as DIET. Since DIET requires omniORB4, Fedora will also gain industrial-grade CORBA 2.6 implementation for C++ and Python.
Scope
Required steps are:
- omniORB package
- DIET package
- vishnu package
- optional: python-omniORB package
How To Test
- Ensure that a DIET hierarchy can be launched and start submitting computational requests
- Collect feedback from Fedora & DIET communities
Contingency Plan
None necessary. All packages have been built and tested for a long time, since i'm one of the upstream maintainer, i'll help fixing and backporting issues between upstream and Fedora.
