Hi, we discussed the possibility to make the OpenLMI installation easier by providing a metapackage that would install the necessary pieces for the managed system, i.e. a package that would install the CIMOM and the "core" providers.

This is somewhat Fedora specific however appropriate for this list I believe. I would introduce a new metapackage named simply "openlmi" depending on the following packages:

tog-pegasus sblim-cmpi-base openlmi-providers openlmi-storage openlmi-networking openlmi-hardware openlmi-software openlmi-power openlmi-account openlmi-service

Comments and objections welcome. If there would be none, I'll file a review request for the new package (hope that's the correct process...).

Filing a new package review for a simple meta-package seems like overkill to me. I'd just amend the openlmi-providers package to also produce a sub-package named "openlmi".

Also, I agree with the plan above for what packages to depend on except for sblim-cmpi-base. That shouldn't be explicitly required by the metapackage, it should be pulled in as a dep for openlmi-providers. This way we only have one place to change things if we switch the package providing LinuxComputer.

I might have forgotten one: openslp-server. Do we want that one too?
