Maintaing packages for a distro

[Justin Vreeland]

Hello all,

Is there any plan  to package for distributions? I see the pre-built packages and scripts to generate packages, but if you're not intending on submitting and maintaining them at the distro level I'd like to submit an intent to package to Debian.

Hi Justin,

We're on the verge of submitting to the distros (we were waiting until NVML was validated to a certain level and now we're there).  We already have feature bugs files with some distros and are working through the logistics now.

Thanks,

Hello And,

Haven't seen any progress on this in any of the distros is this still something you're planning on doing?

Hi Justin,

Yes, at this point NVML has been accepted into Fedora, RHEL, OpenSUSE, and SLES.  Some of the releases containing NVML have happened already, some are still in their release cycle.  For example, I think RHEL 7.3 (which includes NVML) is still in beta.  But on my Fedora machine I can type:

# dnf install libpmemobj-devel

and it installs everything I need to start writing programs with libpmemobj.

Hope that helps,

Any idea when NVML might make its way into debian?

Hi Justin,

I think there is no reason for not submitting an ITP for NVML for Debian, and I can do that.

However, we're getting close to the next release of NVML, so I think it might be better to wait until 1.2 release and submit an ITP for NVML 1.2 soon after that.

How do you think?

Hi Krzysztof

Sounds good to me.
