opensuse repo package for openstack-ceilometer-agent-compute do not contain the ceilometer-agent-compute binary

[Jeremy Pugh]

In mitaka, does the openstack-ceilometer-agent-compute package provide the /usr/bin/ceilometer-agent-compute process? In the opensuse repo, I'm thinking the package is broken because it doesn't provide this file, but provides an init.d script which still refers to this file path. When I check all the files the package provides, none of them are the ceilometer-agent-compute file which used to exist in /usr/bin/ceilometer. I checked the liberty package as well and it seemed to be the same issue.

Here is an example of what I was mentioning.
wget http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Cloud:/OpenStack:/Mitaka/SLE_12_SP1/noarch/openstack-ceilometer-agent-compute-6.0.1~a0~dev3-1.2.noarch.rpm
rpm -qlp openstack-ceilometer-agent-compute-6.0.1~a0~dev3-1.2.noarch.rpm

For comparison, here is the Kilo package: rpm -ql openstack-ceilometer-agent-compute-2015.1.3~a0~dev2-1.1.noarch
/etc/init.d/openstack-ceilometer-agent-compute

Hi Jeremy,

We decide to merge central agent and compute agent because they are basically same: do some polling job, ref: https://github.com/openstack/telemetry-specs/blob/master/specs/kilo/merge-compute-and-central-agents.rst

and in Kilo, we have backward compatibility support, but since Liberty, we drop it to encourage use the new style command:
ceilometer-polling --polling-namespaces compute
ceilometer-polling --polling-namespaces central
ceilometer-polling --polling-namespaces ipmi
to replace previous ceilometer-agent-central/compute/ipmi

Cheers
