Open Stack

Hi Galo,

I think the goal of this split is well explained by Sandro in the first
mails of the chain:

1. Downstream packaging
2. Tagging the delivery properly as a library
3. Adding as a project on pypi

​OpenStack provide us a tarballs web page[1] for each branch of each
project of the infrastructure.
Then, projects like Delorean can allow us to download theses tarball master
branches, create the
packages and host them in a target repository for each one of the rpm-like
distributions[2]. I am pretty sure
that there is something similar for Ubuntu.

Everything is done in a very straightforward and standarized way, because
every repo has its own
deliverable. You can look how they are packaged and you won't see too many
differences between
them. Packaging a python-midonetclient it will be trivial if it is
separated in a single repo. It will be
complicated and we'll have to do tricky things if it is a directory inside
the midonet repo. And I am not
sure if Ubuntu and RDO community will allow us to have weird packaging
metadata repos.

So to me the main reason is

4. Leverage all the infrastructure and procedures that OpenStack offers to
integrate MidoNet
    as best as possible with the release process and delivery.
