[Gluster-devel] anyone up to contirbute to a glusterforge devel tools repo?

[Jay Vyas]

It seems like alot of the work around adding and testing components on
gluster is managing a virtualized gluster environment.

i.e. creating VMs and building the environment out.

Im wondering wether a separate github repo (i.e. something like
glusterforge/gluster-dev) should be created to support gluster development,
where scripts for creating VMs, installing gluster centric development
environments, etc..  could go.  I for one was thinking of maybe testing and
updating this particular gist that i just found
https://gist.github.com/sawanoboly/3826617 for creating 4 VMs on the fly to
use gluster 3.4+.

For me, the direct benefit would be that I could possibly leverage some of
the tools that the gluster experts are using to set up their
environments.   Right now, these tools are scattered about (i.e. see the
gist above) in effectively private (i.e. publically accessible but not easy
to find) repositories.

Meanwhile, I think groups like us (the guys working on big data related
gluster stuff) could share some of our gluster specific deployments of
hadoop, so that others could have a simple and easy place to go look for
tools necessary to get started contributing to our projects.
