Proposed package name: iscsitarget (and kmod-iscsitarget) Project URL: http://iscsitarget.sourceforge.net Tarball: http://download.sf.net/iscsitarget/iscsitarget-0.4.13.tar.gz License: GPL Explanation: It won't get merged. At some point it was submitted to linux-scsi for review: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=110966161714414&w=2 However, IET will be superceded by a generic target framework: http://developer.berlios.de/projects/stgt . "tgt" will also provide iSCSI target functionality (among others). It is more likely to be merged, because it addresses the points made in the linux-scsi review, and well, because it's a generic framework. ;-) HTH, Arne Note: I will be adding a warning about the "stopgap" status of the project to the %description of each package.
Was there any specific reason why you assigned this bug directly to me?
(In reply to comment #1) > Was there any specific reason why you assigned this bug directly to me? I was trying to follow the instructions at: http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/KernelModules Besides rules around the packaging there is one additional *before* you start packaging a kernel module for Fedora Extras: Open a Review bug in [WWW] http://bugzilla.redhat.com and ask FESCo via fedora<AT>leemhuis<DOT>info for permission if this module is allowed for Extras.

(In reply to comment #3) > Okay, sorry, I didn't get that ;-) Ohh, and we'll look at it during the next meeting on thursday and post results here

But we discussed it yesterday in the FESCo-Meeting and allowed this kmod to enter Extras.
whats the current status of this package?
Ian will you be submitting packages?
SRPMS are now at: http://home.comcast.net/~i.pilcher/iscsitarget-0.4.13-0.src.rpm http://home.comcast.net/~i.pilcher/iscsitarget-kmod-0.4.13-0.2.6.18_1.2849.fc6.src.rpm
Just curious, why is i386 not included as an exclusive arch: ExclusiveArch: i586 i686 x86_64 ppc
Well, we're not shipping any i386 kernel for starters...
Hey, I made a package for stgt in this bugzilla https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=245708 It is currently very basic. For example you have to run tgtadm by hand to create targets. I am working on a tool, that will read iet config files and translate it to tgtadm calls for a user.
Perhaps this duplication has already been discussed? Bugzilla Bug 219056: Review Request: iscsitarget - iSCSI Enterprise Target
(In reply to comment #13) > Perhaps this duplication has already been discussed? > Bugzilla Bug 219056: Review Request: iscsitarget - iSCSI Enterprise Target I do not think anyone knew there was another request and review for IET.
It was submitted after this one. I think I'll just close it as a duplicate.
*** Bug 219056 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Hmm, now that FESCo has decided not to permit kernel modules at all, what's to become of this ticket? Will someone talk to the kernel folks to see if they'd be interested in adding the module portion to the kewnel package?
Well, it's been three more months; I don't see any progress here and the module simply isn't going to go into Fedora unless it goes either via the upstream kernel or by convincing the Fedora kernel maintainers to carry it even when upstream doesn't. So I'll go ahead and close this.
