Re: [openstack-dev] Make libguestfs available on pypi

2015-10-16 Thread Matt Thompson 
Hi All,

Does anyone know if any progress has been made here?  We're doing something
similar to Kris and it'd be great if libguestfs could be installed directly
from pypi.

Any information is appreciated.

Thanks!

Good and bad news.  No movement on the PyPi sign-up / licensing issue
as far as I'm aware, so I'm still unable to agree to uploading the
Python bindings to PyPi.  [I tried to sign up again just now, but the
email is taking a very long time to come through - will update here if
there is any change]

However the good news is I fixed libguestfs so that you can now build
the Python bindings separate from the C library.  See this commit for
details:

https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/commit/bb7d088edaa2ea3a664ae703e002f6297dd1844f

That commit was also backported to 1.30.3 on the stable-1.30 branch.

For instructions on how to actually build a PIP module, see:

https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/commit/fcbfc4775fa2a44020974073594a745ca420d614

Nope - the soul-sucking registration page is still there, so I'm
unable to agree to uploading the python bindings to PyPi.  The onus is
still (for > 1 year) on the Python Foundation to fix this.

It looks as if I managed to sign up to the PyPi account without the
soul-sucking licensing agreement.  As a result, I'll be able to upload
the Python bindings in the next few days.

Rich, many thanks for the update!  I'll see if we can build libguestfs
using the steps provided.  I'll also try to reach out to the Python
Foundation to see if we can get this issue back on their radar.

Regards,
Matt

Yup, you beat me to it.  Earlier this month I asked the Python
Software Foundation to look again at their terms, and they have agreed
to make some changes.  It's my understanding that it is waiting on the
PSF Board to approve changes.

[openstack-dev] Make libguestfs available on pypi

2015-07-29 Thread Kris G. Lindgren 
We are packaging nova in a venv so that we can run some kilo code on top of 
some cent6 nodes (default python install is 2.6) (additionally we are working 
on replacing the cent6 nodes with a newer os, but when you have a large number 
of machines - things take time).  We are using python27 software collections 
and pretty much everything is working.  But the issue is that libguestfs is not 
able to be installed in a venv via normal means (pip install).  I would like to 
make the request that libguestfs get added to pypi.

The following bug has already been created over a year ago [1], and it looks 
like most of the work on the libguestfs side is already done [2].  It seems 
something about a complaint of licensing per the bug report.
