Nova To Do
Some short term TODO items related to Nova packaging. When the package is added, these should be tracked in bugzilla.
- 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
- Get these patches merged upstream
- Request that python-eventlet be updated in Fedora to the latest upstream which contains the greenpipe fix
- Figure out what to do about ajaxterm
- SELinux policy
- Use the reserved 162:162 uid:gid for the nova user
no-manual-page-for-binarywarnings- Switch from sysvinit scripts to systemd units
