SUSE packaging

This page describes packaging of OpenStack packages for openSUSE and SUSE Linux Enterprise.

openSUSE distribution

OpenStack packages for openSUSE are updated daily from the respective OpenStack git branches, automatically tested and then published in an additional repository for consumption.

For Juno, the repository is here: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Cloud:/OpenStack:/Juno/

The OpenStack client packages are part of the standard openSUSE distribution.

Current OpenStack packages

The openSUSE Build Service is used for packaging and publishing of different OpenStack versions for openSUSE and SUSE Linux Enterprise releases. It thus allows to install newer OpenStack releases.

Packages are created in subprojects of Cloud:OpenStack named after the OpenStack release, e.g. Cloud:OpenStack:Havana.

These packages are currently build for active openSUSE releases and SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 and can be downloaded from download.opensuse.org.

To install these packages, add the repository via zypper and install. For example for openSUSE 12.3 Havana packages, do:

 zypper ar -f http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Cloud:/OpenStack:/Havana/openSUSE_12.3/Cloud:OpenStack:Havana.repo

And then install the packages, e.g. with:

 zypper in openstack-cinder openstack-nova

For more information, see the openSUSE OpenStack portal. If you like to use OpenStack packages or join the team, please join the mailing list opensuse-cloud@opensuse.org (subscribing information is here).

There is an OpenStack Installation Guide for openSUSE and SUSE Linux Enterprise to guide you through a manual installation.
