All, Based on a recent discussion thread [1], I want to start a voting thread to gather consensus around splitting Marvin from the CloudStack repository.
On successful voting, we would extract and maintain Marvin as a separate library in a separate repository (example repository [2]) and various build/test systems such as Travis [3] can install it directly for usage with pip+git etc. Background: During the build process, a commands.xml generated to build apidocs is also used to generate CloudStack Cmd and Request classes are auto-generated, which is the only dependency why we needed Marvin and CloudStack together. The auto-generated cloudstackAPI module can be also generated against a live running CloudStack mgmt server which has api discovery (listApis) enabled. The integration tests will still be tied to a branch and will remain withing the repository. A PR [3] was sent to show that we can still execute tests using this approach, and this would finally allow us to build, release and use Marvin as an independent library. Vote will be open for 72 hours. For sanity in tallying the vote, can PMC members please be sure to indicate "(binding)" with their vote?
