[Pacemaker] CentOS packages repo

[Martin Gombač]

Hi guys,

i'm going to start using pacemaker with openais (more likely) or 
heartbeat (less likely) for the first time in production. Till now I've 
always used heartbeat with v1 style configs in production. I also want 
to start using "enterprise level solutions" like centos/redhat and not 
compile packages from source anymore, be it using Gentoo's portage or by 
hand. Which brings me to my "problem" (of laziness or getting older :-).

Which package repository to use, to have fairly recent and stable 
releases of pacemaker (and openais) for CentOS 5.4?

Heartbeat in centos repos is terribly outdated, pacemaker doesn't even 
exist, while openais is at acceptable version (0.80.6-8.el5_4.1).

I'm aware of opensuse's/novell's repo and that's what i currently plan 
to use:
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/ha-clustering/CentOS_5/
while excluding these (openais, heartbeat,..) packages from CentOS 
repos. Would you recommend using this repo, even thou it has older 
version of openais than centos updates repo? Pacemaker there is still at 
1.0.5 and so a bit outdated. I also have no idea, how long will it be 
updated or whether updates to centos can/will break compatibility with 
packages from novell's repo.

By far the best option would be, to use centoses repos for everything 
except pacemaker, which i would pull out of your repo:
http://www.clusterlabs.org/rpm/centos-5/ :-)
Too bad it's still nonexistent. Can anyone tell me when it will be 
created? Docs say soon. But soon is relative term. I'm going home, from 
work, soon. :-) How can I help speed up the process of creating this repo?

Any comments or other suggestions on above discussed matter are welcome.
Thank you for your time.

Regards,
M.
