wsdl_generator downloads wrong file for eucalyptus-src-deps.tar.gz

[Tyler Wykoff]

In the file debian/wsdl_generator, the source for dependencies of eucalyptus must be downloaded. However, the command to download this tar.gz file is:

wget -O eucalyptus-1.6.1-src-deps.tar.gz http://open.eucalyptus.com/downloads/127

I have found that the following modification works, but am unsure about which version (1.6.2 maybe?) should be downloaded.

wget -O eucalyptus-1.6.1-src-deps.tar.gz http://eucalyptussoftware.com/downloads/releases/eucalyptus-1.6.1-src-deps.tar.gz

This is from the package eucalyptus-1.6.2

The current command just downloads an html file into a tar.gz file.

Hi Tyler,

Thanks for reporting this bug. I can indeed confirm that this is an issue, so marking it confirmed and assining it to myself.

However, for further background information and to better understand how users are using our packages; can you clarify the reason you are trying to regenerate the wsdl stubs?

Thanks.

Hi Dave,

I am working on the Dynamic On-Demand Computing Systems (DODCS) project for Information Sciences Institute (http://www3.isi.edu/home) for the University of Southern California. We are extending eucalyptus to specialized hardware for hpc applications. In order to do this, we need to have the nodes tell the cloud controller detailed information about what hardware resources they have. This involves modifying the web services interfaces.

We have branched off the ubuntu eucalyptus repository for these customizations and hope to be able to contribute to the ubuntu branch some of these extensions.

Thanks,
Tyler

Hi Tyler,

Thanks for the update. This portion only tends to get reviewed when the WSDL stubs need updating, and this hasn't been required since it was last used. However, it is indeed a bug - and will ensure it's resolved with the next eucalyptus to maverick. However, this wouldn't normally fit the StableReleaseUpdates policy, so I am unable to target it towards Lucid at this stage.

This situation may change, if the stubs require updating during the Lucid cycle. I hope this doesn't cause too much inconvenience.

Thanks.
