Ocfs2 devel - Dec 2014 - ocfs2-tools repository and documentation

Hi,

Sorry if this has been asked in the past but I did not
find anything in the archive.

It is not very clear to me where are the most up-to-date
ocfs-tools repository (both source code and
packages) and documentation.

For development I am looking at 
https://oss.oracle.com/git/?p=ocfs2-tools.git;a=summary but the most 
recent commit seems to be more than
1 year old.

I found an RPM (asking a colleague of mine to ask one of his contacts
in Oracle) here 
http://public-yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL7/0/base/x86_64/getPackageSource/ocfs2-tools-1.8.0-16.el7.src.rpm.
When I inspected the content I found, comparing it to another package we
have, the following:
- a spec file (ok)
- some patches (ok)
- a tar.gz (ok but..)

The tar.gz is ocfs2-tools-1.8.0.tar.gz. The first strange thing is
that there are no versions tagged 1.8.0 in the git repo I am watching.
The other thing is, in our old RPM we have a tar.gz with the same name.
When I compared the content I found they differ just for the
vendor/rhel7 directory. Its content though is not in the git repository.

Is this repository the right one?

Similar doubts apply to documentation (referring to 1.6 version of the
tools and subversion as repository) and RPM repositories.

Would you please point me to the right development resources?

Thanks you,
Germano

Yes, if you don't count the last 2 patches, it is more close to 3 years 
now ;)

Since the patches were not being updated. I started maintaining an 
alternate repository where I am putting all the bugs reported at SUSE:

https://github.com/goldwynr/ocfs2-tools

Branch suse-fixes has the fixes found by SUSE over the "upstream"
branch.

Branch nocontrold has the patches for the feature of doing away with 
ocfs2_controld to work with the latest corosync/pacemaker stack. Patches 
for the kernel are already in the kernel but the ones in the tools need 
some review.

I had a mail conversation with Srini and he has promised to update the 
upstream branch soon.

Regards,

Hi Goldwyn,

Thanks for your answer. I will have a look at your code.
I just want to be sure that the source code I am looking at
is the latest one to avoid fixing things that maybe have been already
fixed elsewhere.

Same is true for documentation and package repositories.
If I could have links to the latest, no matter how old and not
maintained, documentation and repository, it would be helpful,
as well.

Do you know of any other distro, besides Suse, maintaining a stack
of patches?

Cheers,
Germano
