RHEA-2012:0666 - Product Enhancement Advisory

Topic

New pulp, m2crypto, mod_wsgi, gofer, and grinder package dependencies are now
available for CloudForms 1.0.

Description

Pulp is an application for managing software content. Pulp provides replication,
access, and accounting for software repositories.

The m2crypto library allows OpenSSL functions to be called from python scripts.

The mod_wsgi adapter is an Apache module that provides a WSGI (Web Service
Gateway Interface)-compliant interface for hosting Python-based web applications
within Apache. The adapter is written completely in C code against the Apache C
runtime because hosting WSGI applications within Apache incurs lower overhead
than using existing WSGI adapters for mod_python or CGI.

The gofer package provides an extensible, lightweight, universal Python
agent.The gofer core agent is a Python daemon (service) that provides
infrastructure for exposing a remote API and for running Recurring Actions. The
APIs contributed by plug-ins are accessible by Remote Method Invocation (RMI).
The transport for RMI is AMQP using the QPID message broker. Actions are also
provided by plug-ins and are executed at specified intervals.

The grinder utility synchronizes content such as packages, distributions, and
errata from yum repositories.

This enhancement update adds new pulp, m2crypto, mod_wsgi, gofer, and grinder
packages to CloudForms 1.0. (BZ#801584, BZ#801587, BZ#801589, BZ#801585,
BZ#801586)

All users requiring the pulp, m2crypto, mod_wsgi, gofer, and grinder should
install these newly released packages, which add these enhancements.
