Packaging/Debian

For OpenStack Swift, a Debian packaging guide is available at http://swift.openstack.org/debian_package_guide.html.

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

When ready, packages will then be uploaded to Experimental, then to SID.
