Dear all,
We, the MidoNet community [0], would like to include a midonet-release (or similarly named) package with the required yum repo files into CentOS Extras - similar to epel-release or centos-openstack-release packages in the same repo. For reference, our repos live at [1].
MidoNet is a network virtualization software and while our main focus is currently OpenStack, other use cases exist and will get more attention in future (mostly containers I guess) - which is why we would like to be included in CentOS Extras and not just in centos-openstack/rdo repos (if these accept release packages at all).
I asked in #centos about this and was pointed here, so I hope someone can tell me what the process for this would look like and how to get started with it. I was told that IUS is undergoing the same process but couldn't find any information about this.
I was also pointed to the "CATPR" guidelines [2] which I found to likely still being in draft status [3] but it should be no problem to fulfill the given requirements. We're only providing add-on packages and we have a bug tracker to report issues [4].
Cheers, Sandro Mathys MidoNet Community Manager
