I am able to package rpm successfully now. Thank you very much. Apart from the packaging directory is there any way could you please get us the list of files/scripts/commits touched for this to update from cloud* to cloudstack*. Example: python/lib/cloudutils/serviceConfig.py, serviceConfigServer.py.
I hope the list is small.

We had discussed trying to get ASF Infra to help us host package repos somewhere, but I don't think that went anywhere. And since Wido's doing it, it avoided all sorts of questions from the infra team around mirrors, archiving, etc... -chip
