The VM ingestion feature allows CloudStack to discover, on-board, import existing VMs in an infra. The feature currently works only for VMware, with a hypervisor agnostic framework which may be extended for KVM and XenServer in future.
The new cloudstack-agent package wouldn't boot due to various issues.
Those all seem to be resolved.
Other changes include path changes like /etc/cloud -> /etc/cloudstack
The new package now installs, but the upgrade hasn't been tested yet.
Some concepts included:
* the replace.properties location used by maven is parameterized to allow
for a build that does not modify the currently git tracked files
* package naming is updated along the lines of what was discussed on the
-dev mailing list and between committers at the Build a Cloud Day in Belgi
* package version pattern is updated (since we redo all package names,
we might as well drop the epoch)
