Any solution > from Canonical/Ubuntu would be welcome... > > Hi, As much as I would to keep the openstack packaging diff between Ubuntu and Debian to a minimum, we are definitely going to be making changes to the debian packaging for Ubuntu and creating a delta between the two packages. There are several reasons why we will be doing this: - Openstack promotion to main - in oneiric we are going to be promoting openstack to main. Based on the feedback we receive from the main inclusion team we are going to make some changes to the debian packaging. - Stabilization: In natty we did a weekly snapshot of nova so that users can test out features on an ongoing basis. It also allowed us to tell Soren and Thierry that program X is missing in the sudoers file. If we sync from Debian we will loose this feature that our users and developers in Ubuntu have used in the past. - Feature support: For Ubuntu Cloud we are still determining which features that we want to support. An example of this if we want to support Xen as well as LXC or KVM. This might or might not cause a diff in the debian packaging. With that being said I would be happy to work with the Debian Openstack team, and contributing Ubuntu patches back into Debian when it makes sense for Debian. If you have any questions please let me know.
