OpenStack nova package split
Currently Fedora's openstack-nova package generates the following 2 packages,
with the dependencies indented:
openstack-nova
openstack-utils
bridge-utils
dnsmasq-utils
libguestfs-mount >= 1.7.17
fuse # The fuse dependency should be added to libguestfs-mount
libvirt >= 0.8.7
MySQL-python
euca2ools
openssl
sudo
Requires(pre): shadow-utils qemu-kvm
python-nova
vconfig # configures and adjusts 802.1q VLAN parameters
curl
coreutils
radvd # Router Advertisement daemon
iptables
iptables-ipv6
lvm2
scsi-target-utils
iscsi-initiator-utils
libvirt-python
python-crypto
python-paramiko
python-qpid
python-kombu
python-amqplib
python-daemon
python-eventlet
python-greenlet
python-gflags
python-iso8601
python-lockfile
python-netaddr
python-lxml
PyXML
python-anyjson
python-boto
python-cheetah
python-ldap
python-memcached
python-sqlalchemy
python-migrate
python-paste-deploy
python-routes
python-webob
python-glance
python-novaclient
Now even though we don't auto enable any services on install,
splitting out some sub packages would reduce dependencies
on particular packages, saving disk space and identifying
and distributing dependencies going forward.
The current plan is to split into the following 10 subpackages:
openstack-nova (a new meta package for compat with old scripts)
openstack-nova-compute
openstack-nova-cert
openstack-nova-scheduler
openstack-nova-volume
openstack-nova-api
openstack-nova-network
openstack-nova-objectstore
openstack-nova-console
python-nova
openssl
sudo
MySQL-python
python-crypto
python-paramiko
python-qpid
python-kombu
python-amqplib
python-daemon
python-eventlet
python-greenlet
python-gflags
python-iso8601
python-lockfile
python-netaddr
python-lxml
PyXML
python-anyjson
python-boto
python-cheetah
python-ldap
python-memcached
python-sqlalchemy
python-migrate
python-paste-deploy
python-routes
python-webob
python-glance
python-novaclient
openstack-nova-compute
python-nova
curl
iscsi-initiator-utils
iptables
iptables-v6
vconfig
libguestfs-mount
fuse
qemu-kvm
libvirt
libvirt-python
openstack-nova-cert
python-nova
openstack-nova-scheduler
python-nova
openstack-nova-volume
python-nova
lvm2
scsi-target-utils
openstack-nova-api
python-nova
openstack-nova-network
python-nova
vconfig
radvd
bridge-utils
dnsmasq-utils
openstack-nova-objectstore
python-nova
openstack-nova-console
python-nova
I plan to implement this for the existing Essex packages
in Fedora 17 and EPEL6 over the next while.
Note to get an idea of the distribution of the disk space at least
I used `yum install --disablerepo=*updates pkg1 pkg2` in an F17 VM
booted from a live iso. That gave an installed size of existing packages as:
python-nova = 134M
openstack-nova = 117M
Splitting to 10 sub packages would give:
python-nova = 56M
openstack-nova-compute = 166M
openstack-nova-volume = 38M
rest are minimal in size (but dep on python-nova)
cheers,
Pádraig.
