Re: [Users] ovirt-node on Gentoo

Hi Guys, Well, it looks like we've hit our first distro-diversion. First of all, let's define the issues, and then see how we solve each one; 1. Dimitrije is referring to vdsm's init script (including vdsm-reg). 2. What Jared is referring to is relevant to: - Host installation process (AKA bootstrapping and registration) - vdsm operations on host networking I agree it will be better if we solve each issue using the same code for all distro's. Having said that, we need to see if it's an achievable task. Taking Dimitrije's issue as an example, we hit the first conflict; Gentoo is using OpenRC by default (and has some BSD-style leftovers), while RedHat and Fedora are using their SysV-style implementation, which confirms to LSB. Also, some Fedora services are moving to systemd implementation. Obviously these implementations are not trivial to bridge. So where Fedora's script will have "Required-Start:" Gentoo will use a depend() function (see vixie-cron as a sample). So unless we find a magical bridge for init standards, we'll have to have several init scripts, and each distro will use it's own script. We can try and generalize it, to make sure distor's with similar implementations use the same script. As for Jared's networking issues, I believe there's more room here to make the relevant code more flexible, by testing the needed files, and using what we find. Thus, we'll have all in the same codebase. You can start by taking a look at vdsm/netinfo.py in vdsm's git.
