[ovs-dev] [RFC: fedora ovn packaging 0/5] RFC fedora ovn packaging

[Andy Zhou]

The goal of this series is to make it easier to set up OVN in
a larger setup, i.e. not having all services running on a single host.

Currently ovn-central package starts and stop all three services
northbound-db, northd and southbound-db on the same host. While it
is convenient for a single host setup, it is hard to test scale
and HA, where OVN services may have to be installed on different hosts.

This patch series splits the ovn-central package into three packages
ovn-northbound-database, ovn-southbound-database and ovn-northd.
Also, Each one provides the corresponding systemd services.

Another drawback of current packaging is that ovsdb-server is part
of vswitchd package. If one wants to run ovn-northbound-database,
he needs to install and start vswitchd service as well. This is
unnecessary and may lead to confusions. This patch series separate
ovsdb-server into its own package.

ovn-central package is retained to be friendly to single host
deployments. However ovn-central service is marked as exclusive
with the other three services mentioned above.  (I am not sure
if this is necessary, and may more confusing than its worth)
