OK - I'd like packagers to start testing what is currently in LVM2 CVS and
report any problems with sets of configuration options / make targets actually
required.
Once the Fedora 11 tree opens (expected end of this week) I shall make the
first tarball release and use this code.
In summary:
There'll be one source tarball instead of two.
make device-mapper and make install_device-mapper will deal with the
device-mapper pieces.
make and make install will do both.
Other make targets can deal with other useful combinations - some obvious ones
are still missing.
I have tried to retain file history during the import and added a dm_ prefix to
former device-mapper tags.
Fedora and RHEL will continue to ship three RPMS: device-mapper, lvm2 and lvm2-cluster,
but they'll all be generated from a single upstream tarball + SRPM.
Why are we doing this?
- To avoid the time-wasting dependency problems when building two separate
packages;
- To switch to a single source repository to make a likely move from CVS to
git easier;
- To reduce the maintenance overhead;
- To make sharing code between the two quicker and easier.
We'll maintain separate WHATS_NEW and VERSION files for now, but eventually I hope
to merge these too.
