Hello Dietmar

You confirm exactly what I was afraid of. I fully agree that the package of Linbit's drbdmanage shouldn't be in your package but I don't agree concerning the DRBDPlugin.pm in '/usr/share/perl5/PVE/Storage'.  This perl script is the interface between PVE and DRBD. A stable or coordinated versioning between 'PVE package - DRBDPlugin.pm - DRBD package' will be critical. 

A version change on Linbit's side or PVE side without adaption of the plugin could hit a stable environment. I don't know who should be the owner/developer of 'DRBDPlugin.pm', but anyway it needs a coordination especially if PVE/DRBD9 is used in production. So I understand Michele's hesitation.

Regards,
Enrica

I fully agree here.

No, your new license implies that. It would be illegal to provide support (in any way) for drbdmanage.

Besides, it would not make any sense to have two repositories including the same packages - what for?
