Comment 10 for bug 1431045

Thanks for the comments.

The way GPFS is packaged will not allow us to put the binary in the charm for general distribution. I've suggested that to the team, but don't know if that's a change they would be willing to make. It certainly won't be something that's done in the short term. The license is accepted at run time (the charm does this) so the access to the binary packages is controlled.

As I posted in #6, we're happy to provide a set of packages to Canonical for automated testing, they just can't be distributed within the charm, or made publicly available at this point.

I do understand that this could be an issue for "Recommended Charm Status", so if that's the case, please let me know and we can close this out. If so I will push that up to the GPFS team and encourage a change that would allow it to be revisited in the future.

Thanks,
Mike
