Hi everyone |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
What do you think of creating a new 'virtualization' project or herd/team? |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
My initial motivation for this idea was that while libvirt is being |
| 6 |
maintained by 'xen', it is not xen-specific anymore but also supports kvm, |
| 7 |
qemu, lxc and openvz. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
It would also make sense for other parts like the network setup (which is |
| 10 |
pretty equal for xen, kvm, qemu and virtualbox: tun/tap combined with a |
| 11 |
bridge or with routing & masquerading). |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
The idea is to collect the following package-"families": |
| 14 |
- xen |
| 15 |
- kvm |
| 16 |
- virtualbox |
| 17 |
- vmware |
| 18 |
- qemu |
| 19 |
- libvirt |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
and eventually also the following: |
| 22 |
- vserver |
| 23 |
- openvz |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
From my perspective it'd make sense to create a project in which we can also |
| 26 |
provide documentation (currently maintained by the docs project), a |
| 27 |
roadmap, comparison charts, etc. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
So, what do you think? |

Cheers, |

ps It has been suggested to post this on -dev since it's about herds and |
| 35 |
therefore about maintaining ebuilds. |
