Test Repo

A yum repository with Fedora 16 test packages for Nova and Glance is available here

See Getting started with OpenStack Nova for details on how to try out the packages from this repo.

Nova To Do

Some short term TODO items related to Nova packaging which should be resolved before package inclusion. See bug #707199:

  1. Builds are failing in Koji because of a Sphinx segfault
  2. Don't have files owned by the nobody group; the nova group is the appropriate one
  3. Move CA cert creation to the initscripts

Some longer term items which can be tracked in bugzilla after the package has been included:

  1. Get this patch merged upstream
  2. Add tmpfiles.d configuration
  3. Switch from sysvinit scripts to systemd units
  4. SELinux policy
  5. Make Nova add the appropriate iptables rules so that it works with Fedora's default firewall configuration
  6. Figure out what to do about ajaxterm - can we use the system version?
  7. no-manual-page-for-binary warnings - file bug upstream
  8. Build minimal Fedora images for people to use when testing Nova

To Package

  1. python-nova-adminclient - a Python library for Nova's admin API
  2. noVNC - a HTML5 VNC client
  3. openstack-dashboard - self service web UI for OpenStack
