There is now a Debian packaging team working on Openstack. This team consist of the following Debian Developers:

Thomas Goirand <zigo@debian.org>

Ghe Rivero <ghe@debian.org>

Julien Danjou <acid@debian.org>

Loic Dachary <loic@debian.org>

The team can be contacted through the Alioth mailing list, which also receive bug reports for all packages of the OpenStack project: openstack-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org

The QA page for the project is there: http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=openstack-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org

Packages in Experimental are in fact the weekly snapshots, while SID contains tagged releases. It's to be noted that previously, the effort was made to use the same source package base as for Ubuntu, but since Ghe, Julien and Loic are working on the Debian packaging, the support for Ubuntu has been removed from the packages in Debian (as it was too much efforts and difficult to maintain).

The packages currently support KVM, and since XCP is now in Debian as well, it is also possible to run OpenStack together with XenAPI (apt-get install xcp-xapi), with no external packages (eg: you don't need to use the proprietary XenServer from Citrix, or the XCP CentOS based appliance, everything is available strait from Debian).

Since Debian wheezy is planned to be frozen in June 2012, Debian will aim at having Essex ready for it, and this is what is currently available in Debian unstable (code name: SID).

-For OpenStack Compute, there's currently some ongoing effort to have everything into shape for Debian. As much as possible, work has to be integrated in the existing Ubuntu packaging, and delta should be avoided whenever possible. Thomas Goirand < zigo@debian.org > is the Debian Developer that is doing the job. Feel free to get in touch with him if you want to help. There's a Debian repository that is available currently for Squeeze. Just use this:

-deb http://ftparchive.gplhost.com/debian openstack main
+Ghe Rivero <ghe@debian.org>
-When ready, packages will then be uploaded to Experimental, then to SID.
