Hi Deepak, I'm the Debian Developer who helped with the packaging and who uploaded XCP into Debian SID. I'm also working with XCP and OpenStack, and last week, I did some tests with it, using only the packages from SID.
The packages are in good shape, but there's still few things to fix, like having a python-xenapi package (already committed to the Git, but not yet uploaded to SID), and have the OpenStack packages depend on it. Now, let me reply to your questions. On 12/27/2011 01:12 PM, Deepak Garg wrote: > a. After adding the repos to /etc/apt/sources.list mentioned in the wiki, I > tried apt-get update.

The issue is that the repository isn't signed. I'm not sure how to fix that in Launchpad, but for a custom private repo, that's not so hard to do. Anyway, I believe you should just ignore this warning. > b. After setting up xenbr0, I had setup the xensource inventory in > /etc/xcp/xensource-inventory as per > the wiki.

Last, I would suggest you to try using plain Debian SID rather than Ubuntu, since that's where the developments are done (Ubuntu just imports what we do in SID).
