OpenStack

OpenStack consists of a number services for running IaaS clouds. They are the Object Store (Swift), Compute (Nova) and Image (Glance) services.

This page tracks Fedora Cloud SIG's effort to include OpenStack packages in Fedora.

Notes

OpenStack in EPEL

All of the packages require python-sphinx. These all need at least this adjustment for EL6:

-BuildRequires:    python-sphinx
+%{?fedora:BuildRequires:    python-sphinx >= 1.0}
+%{?el6:BuildRequires:    python-sphinx10}

Packages in EPEL

  • openstack-swift

Packages needing to be added to EPEL

  • openstack-glance (fixed in git, needs build)
  • openstack-nova
    • needs python-distutils-extra >= 2.18 not yet in epel. rawhide version thereof builds fine in koji for el6.
  • python-novaclient (needs branching. docs fail to build, but trivial fix as in -glance.)
