[Mageia-dev] freeze push: linux ha cluster stack

[nicolas vigier]

Hello,

In Mageia 1, some HA cluster tools have been imported from Mandriva.
Most of them have not been updated since they were imported, they are
maintained by nobody, are old versions, and I'm not sure they are working.

So I propose to push the following packages (and become maintainer of
those packages) :

- corosync 2.0.0 : We currently have version 1.2.8 from 2010-08, which
  is no longer supported upstream.

- pacemaker 1.1.7 : last version of pacemaker, required to use corosync
  2.0.0

- resource-agents 3.9.2 : we currently have version 3.0.17 from 2010-10, 
  which is not working with recent versions of pacemaker

- fence-agents 3.1.8 : we currently have version 3.0.17 from 2010-10.

- gfs2-utils 3.0.17 : recent version of gfs2-utils for kernel 3.3. This
  was provided by the cluster source package before, and is now a
  separate package

I have been testing pacemaker with corosync in VMs with those packages,
and it is working.

I also propose to drop the following packages :

- cluster (including cman, rmanager) : obsoleted upstream, pacemaker
  should be used instead :
  https://fedorahosted.org/cluster/wiki/HomePage

- heartbeat : upstream development is stopped and equivalent or
  superior functionality is in corosync

- openais : project seems dead (no website online anymore), and nothing
  require this (except cman from cluster package which we are dropping)

Those packages have also been deprecated in Fedora 17 :
