[glue-wg] VOTE by 8/1: GLUE 2.1 for describing cloud resources?

Dear Salvatore,

The relevant package is the glue-schema package that is part of all resource, site and top BDIIs. Once you release this in the usual repos, all BDII flavours will start upgrading when the site decides to do so, we don't have control over this.

Which provider do you mean here? There is no need to change the ldap info provider. It will automatically publish GLUE 2.1 as long as the right version of the glue-schema package containing GLUE 2.1 is installed in the BDII. This means, a top BDII with the right version of the glue-schema will publish cloud objects of those site BDIIs with the right version of the glue-schema publishing cloud objects.

Which clients do you mean here? ginfo? This is the only client querying GLUE 2 information at the moment.

>   4. When 3 is complete, Site-BDII provider update to publish cloud info only in

As I said before, there is no need to do any changes to the ldap info provider, if this is what you mean here.
