You are taking about the modules right?

You are talking about integrating PAF itself now, right? :)

Pushing PAF in resource-agents is challenging in regard with:

  * disabling perl from autoconfig?
  * OCF_Directories.pm generation from autoconfig? The current generation is a
    ugly hack around "$OCF_ROOT/lib/heartbeat/ocf-directories"
  * changing the RA script name?
  * moving the existing PAF documentation somewhere (currently hosted in gh
    pages)

I'm not used to autoconfig, but I can give it a try.

Based on the feedback, I would make a move request of the repo to clusterlabs or
create a new branch in resource-agents to start working on the integration.

Thanks!
