-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Guillaume,
I didn't realize that they made it into Karmic, but I just saw them right after I wrote my mail. Sorry that I forgot them. But the problem remains the same that there are just too few providers. Just providing a very basic set isn't enough to compete with the other distributions and as the OpenDRIM providers also depend on SFCB it shouldn't matter which provider set we provide as long as the enterprise users get what they need/want. Also I could additionally start to package the other OpenDRIM providers if that is officially preferred but I stuck to the SBLIM implementation until now because SFCB is available since Intrepid and their providers are confirmed to work and at least bug reports are available and bugs get fixed by upstream devs rather quickly. In addition it is nice that there's an alternative. Alternatives are always a good thing. However as OpenDRIM is a rather new project (compared to SBLIM) I think SBLIM providers should be preferred for now in terms of security and stability. I also miss some upstream documentation about the matching management profiles of the providers and the providers doesn't even have a ChangeLog file to track upstream changes automatically. This is true for some of the newer providers from SBLIM too but at least they made it into a variety of distributions including RedHat and Suse for years so I would consider them rather stable. What do you think? The work I have done until now and the time I spent shouldn't be wasted. In my PPA I have the following additional providers: sblim-cmpi-service sblim-cmpi-smbios sblim-cmpi-sysfs Others are coming soon. As I have a lot of spare time in the next weeks I would really like to concentrate on packaging to get the last bits in the right place. I will take a closer look at the OpenDRIM providers and see how they work. If we focus on OpenDRIM we should also take another CIM broker as it doesn't make sense to provide nice GPL'ed providers when there is no GPL'ed broker available.
