I have been looking at the same scripts and enhancing the support over the last few days. adding support for genesis, ibmhpc, ipmitool-xcat etc ..., check the xcat-commit logs Also the postinst postrm etc needed revisiting to enable trouble free installation; once these bugs are sorted, then the following command will create the repository if you are in the trunk of xcat-core ./build-ubunturepo -c . -d ../../xcat-dep/trunk -l /root/ubuntu-repo The contents of /root/ubuntu-repo would be able to be uploaded with all the deb repositories created, each of those directories then can be tarred for distribution.
