Hi all, (/cc cloudstack-dev) I'm Rohit Yadav, committer/pmc from the Apache CloudStack [1] community. Apache CloudStack is an IaaS cloud computing platform. I've been maintaining and publishing the CloudStack noredist repos [3][4] for few years now, and I would like to get them published to the official CentOS (and other distros) repositories. I met Rich during Fosdem yesterday and he suggested to reach out to the cloud-sig/list [2] to discuss how we can get CloudStack rpms into CentOS. I understand in the past we were not very successful at that, but I want to make a second attempt especially since we've introduced the concept of LTS releases in CloudStack. I'm not sure if the devel list is the right place or if an explicit cloud-sig list exists [2], so please advise -- - Where may I start? - What is the packaging/release process and how can one help become a package maintainer? - Advise on legal stuff around publishing of rpms (the noredist repositories bundle non-oss jar dependencies such as those from Vmware vim sdk etc)? - How can the packages also be available for Fedora, may RHEL and derivatives? - Thoughts, comments? Thanks. Regards.
