            Bug ID: 1314865
           Summary: Review Request: booth - Ticket Manager for Multi-site
                    Clusters
           Product: Fedora
           Version: rawhide
         Component: Package Review
          Severity: medium
          Priority: medium

Description:
Booth manages tickets which authorize cluster sites located in
geographically dispersed locations to run resources. It
facilitates support of geographically distributed clustering in
Pacemaker.

Legal note:
Initial 0.1.X releases contained code that referred to Paxos algorithm,
which is likely patent-encumbered, so booth might have or might not have
been legally tainted.  See also an answer for such a point from a SUSE
developer [1], however detailed follow-up question [2] stayed unreplied.
Despite the original defense, Paxos-related code got dropped [3] in favor
of Raft algorithm [4] that was in being integrated since around that
time [5], hitting 0.2.0+ releases.
Bottom line:
booth 0.2.0+ (booth-1.0rc1 + patches is being considered for
distro inclusion as of this review) should be fine.

Notes:
- COPR builds:
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/jpokorny/booth/build/165647/
- incorrect FSF address to be resolved in upstream:
  https://github.com/ClusterLabs/booth/pull/23
- offering a review swap (just in case someone randomly browses
  new package reviews, but will haunt down that via devel ML eventually)
