Hi, I'm a new opencsw package maintainer. I wanted to send out a quick email to introduce myself.
My name is Romeo Theriault. I'm a Systems/SAN administrator for the University of Hawaii System. Prior to this I was a SA/SAN admin for the University of Maine System. With both of these jobs I've been working with Solaris. I've created a few custom solaris packages over the years but am by no means a expert packager. So I have some learning to do in this area, which I'm looking forward to. I requested to become a opencsw package maintainer for the following piece of software: Salt (http://saltstack.org/) Salt is a remote execution and configuration management tool, in a similar vein of puppet and chef. Currently their solaris support is very weak and I'd like to help them get stronger solaris support. First thing to do is make installing it on solaris an easy thing to do. This is my primary motivation to become a opencsw package maintainer. Salt has the following package dependecies: Python 2.6 ZeroMQ >= 2.1.9 pyzmq >= 2.1.9 - ZeroMQ Python bindings PyCrypto - The Python cryptography toolkit msgpack-python - High-performance message interchange format YAML - Python YAML bindings some of which are already maintained in opencsw, which is great. The following don't appear to be: zeromq pyzmq msgpack-python so I'm planning to package and maintain these packages as well. Thank you, Romeo Theriault _______________________________________________ maintainers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.opencsw.org/mailman/listinfo/maintainers .:: This mailing list's archive is public. ::.
