IMHO the first step should be to get rid of the evil submodule. Arguably the most direct path leading to this goal is to simply package up the downstream civetweb (i.e. 1.6 plus all the downstream patches) for all the supported distros. The resulting package would be Ceph-specific, obviously, so it could be called "civetweb-ceph". Like Ken says, the upstreaming effort can continue in parallel. After we get Ceph/RGW working fine with civetweb-ceph 1.6, we can rebase the package to upstream civetweb 1.7. I am not volunteering to do all the work, but we at SUSE are certainly prepared to shoulder our share of it. -- Nathan Cutler Software Engineer Distributed Storage SUSE LINUX, s.r.o.
