+1 . 
@Wido, would like to know whether the same process works for rpm based distros?
For 4.0 we had supported CentOS6.3 and Rhel6.3 and packing is done using waf. 
waf is going to deprecated right?  How we are going to support for packing for 
rpm  based distros.

Thanks
Rajesh Battala

Subject: Ubuntu/Debian packaging progress

Hi all,

I was contacted by Noa Resare from Spotify (you might have seen him on the 
mailinglist) regarding the Ubuntu and Debian packaging progress.

He volunteered to help with fixing this packaging the right way, but we 
stumbled upon the problem that he doesn't have commit rights, this prevented us 
from working in the "packaging" branch.

After a Skype conversation yesterday we decided to fork the CloudStack repo on 
Github[0] and work there.

I know it's preferred that development stays at the ASF repo, but it would mean 
that Noa would have to sent everything in patches to me and I'd have to apply 
them.

With this e-mail I want to let people know that we are working on
CLOUDSTACK-756 [1] on that Github repo.

Afterwards we'll rebase and merge everything into master so that we have new 
and shiny packages for the 4.1 release without WAF.

I'll make sure we'll keep Hugo in the loop since he's doing the RPM packaging 
which shares a lot with the DEB packaging.

Questions or remarks?

Wido
