Yes, exactly what kashyap said. At the Nova Mitaka midcycle we talked shortly about that and came to the conclusion that having packages saves a lot of (overall) time in the gate queue, compared to the usual "make && make install" every time. I'm new to the packaging topic and don't know the common tool-chain for such tasks. -- Regards, Markus Zoeller (markus_z) __________________________________________________________________________ OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Unsubscribe: [email protected]?subject:unsubscribe http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
