I've restructured our PPA's somewhat[1]. The basic idea is this: People are willing to expose themselves to varying degrees of breakage. Some will only want final releases, others will be happy to test the latest and greatest, and (I'm guessing) some might be willing to a middle ground of accepting milestone releases. To accomodate this, each of the three groups will have their own PPA, and we'll have a couple more for other purposes:
The one just named "ppa": ------------------------- https://launchpad.net/nova-core/+archive/ppa This is the one we use "internally" for e.g. updated packages for Hudson. It used to hold bleeding edge Nova packages, but no more. Trunk PPA: ---------- https://launchpad.net/nova-core/+archive/trunk This one holds bleeding edge Nova packages. Every commit to trunk results in an upload to that PPA. All the dependencies you need to run this are also there (backported libvirt to Lucid, for instance). Build-depends: -------------- https://launchpad.net/nova-core/+archive/build-depends This one holds packages that are only needed at build time for the trunk PPA. The idea is to keep this separate so that people don't have to update packages needlessly, just because they're volunteering to test Nova. At some point, we'll create the last two PPA's: Milestone PPA: -------------- https://launchpad.net/nova-core/+archive/milestones For each milestone, we'll copy over the packages from the Trunk PPA. This is for people who are happy to help test, but want something presumably slightly more stable than bleeding edge. Release PPA: ------------ https://launchpad.net/nova-core/+archive/stable This PPA will be reserved for stable releases of Nova. It's for people who want the latest stable release on a variety of Ubuntu versions. Like the milestone PPA, it will be populated by copying all the relevant packages from the trunk PPA.
