-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi *,
I would like to get more CIM providers from the SBLIM project into future versions of Ubuntu. Because in the business world it is a requirement that new systems can be managed through existing technology/software. WBEM is a standard here and is widely accepted. As I see that all the big players in the operating system world (Solaris, RHEL, SLES, Windows) are providing the most common providers for system management I also see there is a huge lack in Ubuntu and all other Debian based distributions. Therefore I decided to start packaging the missing providers from the SBLIM project: http://sblim.wiki.sourceforge.net/ I chose SBLIM over the others because of the following reasons: 1. OpenPegasus - big and somewhat monolithic - hard to separate into packages - a lot of build problems 2. OpenWBEM - dead? (last release 2006-10-19) 3. WBEM-Services - dead? (last release 2004-11-01) The SBLIM project is actively under development (almost completely by IBM devs) and the license isn't very attractive to Ubuntu/Debian but it has several advantages: - - small footprint (simple, fast, suitable even for embedded devices) - - providers use CMPI (allows their use in other CIMOM servers) - - SFCB + sblim-cmpi-base already available in universe So I started with the following providers: http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/p/sblim-cmpi-fsvol http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/p/sblim-cmpi-network My first try to get them into karmic was not very successful but now I've sorted out a lot of problems and want to get them into lucid as it will be the next LTS release. I also have some other packages packaged until now for a quick look in my launchpad PPA: https://launchpad.net/~ancoron/+archive/cim Please have a look at the packages and comment any errors or things that should be done preventing its inclusion. Thanks, Ancoron -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAksN5mgACgkQHwxOsqv2bG11MACdFys+WC5I0/aTLxBEJVu8HxeC 2DsAoIig8g/Gc43lp/IPshytsR46KJui =vJ25 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Ubuntu-motu mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-motu
