OK, let's try to summarize this long thread. there are two sides, the long-term plan and the short-term plan. For the long-term plan, there seems to be agreement on: * a set of project-oriented client tools (nova, glance...) that allow xe-like commands (nova vm-create) * a superset tool that

In regards to openstack tools, we certainly have some options. We could do everything from one big package with all tools for all languages/services to one project for each language/service (and all permutations in between). IMHO, I think it makes the most sense to keep the client tools for all

Thanks Eric, I agree. It would be great to do 'bzr branch lp:nova' and have all the client tools we need. Especially given the fact that the client tools are now required by the system itself. I suspect it will also be needed for integration testing. This also prevents more PPA administration.
