I know this sounds like a crazy idea, but have we looked at investing any time in adding this feature to Launchpad? TripleO has the same problem. We look at bugs for: tripleo diskimage-builder os-apply-config os-collect-config os-refresh-config Now, having all of those in one project is simply not an option, as they are emphatically different things. Part of TripleO is allowing users to swap pieces out for others, so having clear lines between components is critical. I remember similar problems working on juju, juju-jitsu, charm-tools, and juju-core. Seems like it would be worth a small investment in Launchpad vs. having to switch to another tracker. _______________________________________________ OpenStack-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
