Apologies if this has already been proposed, but how about an option 3 (perhaps more accurately option 2.5):
We already have a process for maintaining code in one project and occasionally copying it to another project. Namely, code is maintained in openstack-common and then -- at appropriate times -- gets copied to Nova or Glance or whatever. Correct? Seeing as Cinder is supposedly a straight copy of Nova volume, it seems feasible to occasionally copy it all back into Nova. This way, it's not a matter of "fixing bugs (and adding features and whatever) twice", but rather fixing bugs (and adding features and whatever) once and the rest is straight-forward (possibly even easily scriptable) patch management. Obviously, this wouldn't happen indefinitely, but simply serve to bridge the gap between those who want to split it out (with which I can certainly sympathise) and those who want to keep it Nova for Folsom (which I can also sort of relate to). -- Soren Hansen | http://linux2go.dk/ Senior Software Engineer | http://www.cisco.com/ Ubuntu Developer | http://www.ubuntu.com/ OpenStack Developer | http://www.openstack.org/ _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openstack Post to : openstack@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openstack More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
