[OSR-devel] Changes on naming of the project and source hosting

[Marc G. <gr...@at...>]

Hello again,
after being silent for such a long time, I should try to bring everybody up on track.
As Olaf already stated in the past year we decided to integrate the open shared root project into ifs father project com.oonics.

The technical background is pretty easy. Besides the use case of shared root we've also seen many not shared root installation. Mainly when the focus was to have a installation that is capable of booting on different types of hardware (same architecture). We called this feature flexboot.

Besides some other projects came to live that added additional functionality that was not directly connected or necessary for having a shared root.

Basically this is the reason why we decided to move the open shared root projects inside the com.oonics project.
This does not change any function for using a shared root cluster but the naming.

Besides moving the name we also decided to move the code to an official openly available git repository. You can now find the latest code to be downloaded from https://github.com/comoonics. You'll find four repositories:

* git://github.com/comoonics/comoonics-initrd-ng.git: Is the repository for the initrd used for booting flexible Linux installations

* git://github.com/comoonics/comoonics-cluster-suite.git: The python libraries needed as dependency for some of the flexible Linux installation tools (see http://comoonics.org/development/ and the projects called comoonics-*-py).

* git://github.com/comoonics/comoonics-release.git: The release files.

* git://github.com/comoonics/comoonics-Dracut.git: The dracut modules to use open shared root with dracut (initrd of RHEL6 and Fedora)

Bugs and feature requests should be filed at https://bugzilla.comoonics.org/.

In the next weeks and months we'll also try to bring some information up2date on http://comoonics.org and http://open-sharedroot.org.

We're happy to get any kind of feedback.

Have fun
Marc.
