Hi Mathieu,
As my regard to your comment #45, I did some minor changes for your further
review.

Re-did a review of ibmpmlinux. Some issues still apply. I have added
more details. I'm sorry if this seems complicated, I realize we're
having an issue with the language barrier. Please feel free to ask for
more info, or that I explain things differently.

Hi Mathieu,
Following my comment #36, now we have finished the work items of dark
blue in the schedule: PMUbuntu starts to be installed with an init
Service/Job script of sysV, upstart, or systemd. As a service/job, the
PM Data Collector daemon will be started from system boot of runlevel

Hi Mathieu,
The schedule for Ubuntu 15.10 to release is running out. Here we PMLinux
team are wondering if there is time left for our package inclusion in
Ubuntu 15.10 Archive repository? If time allows, we still want to submit
a PMLinux update for review next week, with the major changes for FHS
Leaf packages (that aren't depended on by other things, and do not need
to be on released images), such as ibmpmlinux may be acceptable up until
the last few days before release (note however that the final release is
next week). That said, the final decision will be made by an archive

PMLinux has only one menu command for all of the user interfaces,
"/var/perf/pm/config.PMLnx", which has a symbol link at
/usr/sbin/config.PMLnx for root working well without $PATH setting.
Now,
I've spent a few hours reviewing the package carefully; here are the few
things we'll need at this point for the software to be in an appropriate
form for inclusion in the Ubuntu partner archive:

lintian assumes that the package is intended for inclusion in the
distribution, so it expects it to comply with those parts of the FHS.

Thank you Mathieu.
Q: "Would it be possible to recompile just to replace /var/perf/pm with
/opt/ibm/pm? "
A: Although technically possible, it might raise questions on the viability of
PM-Ubuntu project:
1) For a FHS-compliant system, it is supposed to store "static" things only
in /opt
It is a condition of distribution in partner that things are policy-
compliant. This means packages, unless they have a very good reason to,
should ship files in Debian-policy compliant directories (this means
following the FHS precisely and shipping in /usr/lib/$package, or even
better, shipping
"should changing PM_HOME to point to the new directory instead of
/var/perf/pm work instead of creating symlinks?"
No, it won't work. PMLinux.cfg will not take effect because it is now
separated from PMLinux binaries, and NOT at default searching locations.
The solution is either one below:

I will discuss this with an archive admin to see if having links is
allowable.

Thanks Mathieu. There are only two "public" symbol links in controversy:
1) /var/adm/perfmgr -> /var/perf/pm/
HMC/FSM/ESA services use it to find PMLinux data file for transmission.
2) /var/perf/pm -> /opt/ibm/pm/
PMLinux refers it to regain original files layout (virtual ) against Ubuntu
Hi Mathieu,
Thank you a lot for your time spent in reviewing and rearranging
PMLinux's dirs/files layout.
Actually, Breno, Erwan and I etc. already discussed about FHS
(FileSystem Hierarchy Standard) enforcement several weeks ago. The right
home for PMLinux seemed to be at /opt/ibm/pm/.
I'm fine with putting everything under /opt as well, I simply picked
/usr because other parts of the documentation (manpages) already shipped
under /usr --- if we should ship under /opt, then it's perfectly doable
but we should ship *everything* in /opt paths (this includes /var/opt or
/etc/opt as
So, ibmpmlinux requires major reworking to follow the Debian (and
Ubuntu) policy for packages. I've done most of the work here to clean it
up, but there still would be issues at least in the documentation, which
is extensive and often mentions /var/perf.
Will PMLinux still work properly if we

Hi Mathieu,
As I just checked today, ibmPMLinux package was still NOT archived in
Ubuntu 1510's daily builds (http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-
server/daily/current/wily-server-ppc64el.iso). Accordingly, I have not
yet got a chance to test PMLinux package being installed from Ubuntu
iso.
The
Getting ibmpmlinux on the ISOs is quite different from having it
packaged in the archive. It will *not* initially be on the isos. There
isn't currently any issue that I know of for ibmpmlinux, I'm just
waiting for an archive administrator to review it and let it through.
I've already asked Adam
Right, and I do agree that we don't want it to be part of the ISO at the
moment.
