[openstack-dev] [sahara] Discussion on cm_api for global requirement

2014-11-24 Thread Trevor McKay
Hello all,

  at our last Sahara IRC meeting we started discussing whether or not to add
a global requirement for cm_api.py https://review.openstack.org/#/c/130153/

  One issue (but not the only issue) is that cm_api is not packaged for Fedora,
Centos, or Ubuntu currently. The global requirements README points out that 
adding
requirements for a new dependency more or less forces the distros to package 
the 
dependency for the next OS release.

  Given that cm_api is needed for a plugin, but not for core Sahara 
functionality,
should we request that the global requirement be added, or should we seek to add
a global requirement only if/when cm_api is packaged?

  Alternatively, can we support the plugin with additional documentation (ie, 
how
to install cm_api on the Sahara node)?

  Those present at the meeting agreed that it was probably better to defer a 
global
requirement until/unless cm_api is packaged to avoid a burden on the distros.

  Thoughts?

Best,

Trevor

Hi Trevor,

Thank you for bringing this to the IRC meeting! I agree with you guys'
conclusion. Patch 136697 has been submitted to address it in Sahara
document.

Thanks, Zhidong
