A distinct possibility, but AFAICT, Red Hat has declined to participate in OpenStack directly so far, which is well within their rights (and perhaps strategy). I'm not too concerned though - it has happened over time that packages move from EPEL into RHEL proper, there are procedures in place for such to ensure a smooth upgrade path for users/customers, should Red Hat choose to do so. I hadn't realized that Grid Dynamics did the original packaging for RHEL; Mirantis picked it up for Fedora, then Mark and I, and now Angus Salkeld have made improvements from there. Time to re-merge with the GD work before we get too far apart to make that clean, and to get everyone working towards the same goal from a unified tree. -- Matt Domsch Technology Strategist Dell | Office of the CTO _______________________________________________ cloud mailing list [email protected] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/cloud
