Hi all, The patch introducing the new implementation is now under review: http://gerrit.ovirt.org/14612 Il 14/03/2013 11:13, Alex Lourie ha scritto:
Hi All
Recent development of the otopi [1] framework allows us to migrate the engine-setup, upgrade and cleanup (and potentially other) utilities to implementation as an otopi plugin.
Potential benefits of such a move are:
1. Be able to port engine to other distributions. 2. Be able to install engine in a development mode. 3. Be able to customize installation easily. 4. Share installation of components (reports, dwh). 5. Modular implementation, reduce maintenance costs. 6. Code reuse of installer code for multiple purposes (host-deploy, enigne-setup).
Currently we are in the process of creating a 'setup' plugin for the otopi, and the progress can be monitored at [2]. The current roadmap for the feature is as follows:
1. Recreate the configuration utilities as plugins in otopi. 2. Support side-by side installation using both the old and the new utilities. 3. Switch to the new utility when the confidence that it is on-par with an old one is high.
Our goal is to have the new utilities ready for 3.3 release (at least for the step 2 in the roadmap).
We'd like to hear as much feedback as possible, so we could address it as soon as possible.
Thanks!
