Hi,

we at SUSE think it would be great to have Kata Containers officially available in both openSUSE and SLE (enterprise) repositories. Our longer term vision is to integrate Kata Containers into the SUSE Container-as-a-Service platform as an additional container runtime. At the moment we support docker and cri-o, and kata looks like a nice addition :)

This email is to propose a reorganization of the OBS packaging and get any feedback from you. I kicked off the discussion already with Carlos and Eric and this is the outcome:

- Move all the packages on OBS from home:katacontainers to a new official development project under devel:kubic [1] (e.g. devel:kubic:katacontainers or whatever name you prefer). "devel" projects are associated with higher trust and visibility than "home" projects.

- You can keep the build targets you currently have for the other distributions (Ubuntu, CentOS, etc...)

- The relevant packages will be linked from devel:kubic:katacontainers to devel:kubic ("linking" is a way to avoid duplication of package sources), and from there we can set up the build targets to support all of the SUSE distribution flavours. This means that after a while [2], you can expect on any SUSE distribution to just do something like `sudo zypper install "kata-*"`, and have Kata Containers installed, without dealing with extra repositories.

How does this sounds to you?

Cool! Looking forward to seeing it generally available via `zypper`. I like the green lizard :-) Once it is done, we also need to update our installation guide to point to the new address. Cheers, Tao -- bergwolf@hyper.sh
