Please remove it. There¹s an effort to re-introduce the ability to utilize Fuel to deploy a distribution from a user-defined source either a private repo or from trunk and we can document that process once it is implemented.

Easter Director of Product Management, Mirantis From: Meg McRoberts <[email protected]> Date: Sunday, April 27, 2014 at 7:15 PM To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Subject: [Fuel-dev] Should this be in the docs? The FAQ includes the following; should this be included in the introductory material somewhere or should it be relegated to Marketing documentation and removed from the technical documentation? meg 1. **[Q]** Why did you decide to provide OpenStack packages through your own repository? **[A]** We are fully committed to providing our customers with working and stable bits and pieces in order to make successful OpenStack deployments. Please note that we do not distribute our own version of OpenStack; we rather provide a plain vanilla distribution. Put simply, there is no vendor lock-in with Fuel. For your convenience, we maintain repositories containing a history of OpenStack packages certified to work with our Puppet manifests. We also ship patched or upgraded versions of some upstream packages. This is necessary to incorporate fixes for known issues and performance improvements. Sometimes these updates add features that are needed by OpenStack. The advantage of this approach is that you can install any OpenStack version you want (with possible custom bug fixes). Even if you are running Essex, just use the Puppet manifests which reference OpenStack packages for Essex from our repository. With each new release we add new OpenStack packages to our repository and create a new branch with Puppet manifests (which, in turn, reference these packages) corresponding to each release. With EPEL this would not be possible, as that repository only keeps the latest version -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~fuel-dev Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~fuel-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
