During this time each > project has been following its own way with limited coordination > (just some opportunistic cross-tagging between SIGs) and different > approaches, rebuilding Fedora builds or FDP srpms from ftp.redhat.com > <http://ftp.redhat.com> > from time to time in their own tags and repos. > > This has led to multiple issues and suboptimal usage resources so I > think a good step ahead would be to use existing NFV SIG [1] as a > collaboration area for all the interested projects to build, test and > ship OpenvSwitch and OVN using public SRPMs from Fast Datapath [2]. > > What I'm proposing is that the interested people in becoming > maintainers for OVS/OVN in NFV Sig request membership to nfv-sig group > [3]. Then, we'll coordinate to request new tags/buildroots for OVS/OVN > and start building and testing the required releases. > > Any thoughts on this proposal? > I think this would be efficient. I already applied to become a member of sig-nfv to help. > Best regards, > > Alfredo > > > [1] https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/NFV > [2] > ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/8Base/en/Fast-Datapath/SRPMS/ > [3] https://accounts.centos.org/group/members/sig-nfv > > _______________________________________________ > CentOS-devel mailing list > CentOS-devel at centos.org <mailto:CentOS-devel at centos.org> > https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-devel > > > -- > Didi >
