Okay, I have commited the current set. There is however a few things
to look at relatively quickly in my opinion:
- we don't build the driver by default, this is a bit against the rule
we should fix this
- but the build depends on the ONE development environment to be
present, for example OneClient.h header
- another thing to note is that OpenNebula seems to be released under
the Apache-2.0 Licence, which is not a problem for tyhe LGPL, but
may become a problem within qemud if we link it against a GPL (v2?)
library coming from another driver.
So I think we should look at improving configure.in to try to locate
$ONE_LOCATION/include/OneClient.h with ONE_LOCATION coming either from
the environment, or from --with-one[=DIR] optional directory location or
from a predefined set of locations.
Right now the driver is disabled and ONE_LOCATION is assumed from
configure, but that really need to be fixed IMHO.
For the Licencing problem, it's a bit tricky, is OpenNebula released
only as Apache-2.0 ? If yes, then maybe at configure time a check should
also been made to avoid drivers under GPL and OpenNebula to be built
together. It's a bit of a pain, and hopefully I get this wrong, but I'm
afraid otherwise we would be in Licence violation of the GPL2 drivers
(if any are configured in, I think we have one but I can't remember
which one right now).
