Hi,
I notices there has been good work on debian/,
but now for the greater:
If we move the debian/ up one directory, the package as a whole
can be deb sourced, and the result would be: ipvsadm...deb *and*
kernel-patch-<whatever>-ipvs?
It would make my live easier to make new ipvs enabled kernels that way :)
If there are no objections of haveing debian/ up one directory, I will
work on it...
In theory it sounds like a good idea, but I don't know if it will work
until everything else has been better debianized. I could not for the
life of me ever get the configure.pl script to work on debian (I tried
both the one packaged with ipvs and the updated ones) Plus, since the
ipvs patches are kernel version specific, you couldn't release the
patches until debian releases their kernel packages, which only ever
happens for security fixes. So there couldn't necessarily be debian
packages on the LVS site because they would need to depend on the
specific kernel version, which may or may not exist, unless you also put
kernel source packages of your own up there and actually host a real
live apt source (similar to how helixcode err i mean ximian does it) and
then someone could just apt-get install ipvs and it would do everything.
Which in itself would be the best thing anyway. :-)
But I think a lot of the other stuff needs to be more debian friendly,
specifically the configure.pl. Perhaps going so far as not even using
THAT configure.pl but modifying it enough so that it runs as the
postinst script of the ipvs debian package and goes through everything
to configure it. It could then have dependencies on mon, fping,
heartbeat, ldirectd etc etc and pretty soon debian would be the fastest
and easiest platform to install LVS on. DAMN I LOVE DEBIAN! I might just
have to get involved in this.
