I just finished (belatedly) updating the wiki to reflect the recent changes to the libvirt scripts with what was already in the README. This still needs to be better integrated into the Installation Guide. https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Installation_libvirt_qemu
Ubuntu 16.04 LTS 64-bit ... Now <RANT> I have to ask Why.... Seriously? </RANT>
The short answer is that Ubuntu is what is on the boxes we initially had available to use. As you found, there is nothing inherently exclusive to Ubuntu in here, and with a little work this will get more OS-agnostic.
and ... TADA..... functionally working on Fedora 28 and actually installing at this moment..... so... seriously i have to ask....
when do you want to offer me a job..... because this shouldnt be happening..... anyway..... I find it awesome that you used CentOS for the platform, great choice... but why would you force uus to use Ubuntu as the host... personally from an
We don't force you, that is simply what those scripts were written for and what was documented thus far. I'm sure had you written this it would be CentOS/Fedora oriented... Also, your job offer is in the next sentence. :) Since you are clearly capable of adjusting this to fit your environment I would invite you to help the next person to come along that doesn't use Ubuntu and submit those changes to the stx-tools repo and help make this particular corner of the world a better place.
This is just my observations.... from a senior level management perspective of what Ive seen in the industry... if yyou want to be accepted, I belive you will maybe need more polishh... but so fgar great work, in sight of a few things maybe over looked.
We are painfully aware that this has a long way to go before it is anything close to a download, build and install kind of system. StarlingX is one enormous complex beast that does a complex job. Thanks for taking the time to fight through this build process and for this feedback, it is valuable to see this process from the eyes of someone who isn't already familiar with it. dt -- Dean Troyer dtroyer@gmail.com
