Open Stack

Calling it "broken" is a bit of an overstatement. As noted previously, node.js can be installed and configured (http://nodejs.tchol.org/) on Fedora. It's just not in the Fedora default package repositories. My reading of the ticket on the redhat bugzilla also indicates that there's active work to get it included, since it's becoming a very popular and wide-spread tool.

I'm willing to spend more development cycles over the course of the Folsom release cycle to make sure there's a path forward for Fedora users, but I haven't heard any blockers here yet. Whether those solutions include documentation, configurable options for client-side processing for users who don't wish to use node on the server-side, or other ideas... Patches are always welcome. ;-)

I would, however, ask the leadership of the Openstack community (the PPB?) to make some official documented decisions on distro support, though. I did a fair bit of googling and wiki searching and couldn't find any official list of supported distros for OpenStack. It'd be really helpful! :-)

All the best,
