Ubuntu is the reference platform for OpenStack. We follow the Ubuntu release cycle very closely, and do most of our QA on Ubuntu.
If you want to run OpenStack on Ubuntu, there are a few options, depending on your stability requirements and which version of Ubuntu you're running.
| Ubuntu version | Only what is in Ubuntu | Only stable releases |
| 10.04 LTS (Lucid) | N/A | Release PPA |
| 10.10 (Maverick) | Pre-Austin snapshot | Release PPA |
| 11.04 (Natty) | Frequent snapshots.< >Cactus expected in final release |
Release PPA |
Trunk PPA
A PPA<<FootNote(Personal Package Archive: an extra apt repository you can add to your sources.list to get access to software not in Ubuntu.)>> where we will upload a new version for every single commit on trunk.
Information and instructions for use can be found on Launchpad for Nova, and similarly for Swift and Glance.
The packages are built by grabbing the latest tarball from http://nova.openstack.org/tarballs/ -- add 'debian' directory from lp:~openstack-ubuntu-packagers/ubuntu/natty/nova/ubuntu (nova) or lp:~openstack-ubuntu-packagers/ubuntu/natty/swift/ubuntu (swift) on top of it. Now add a changelog entry (dch -i -n). Make packages by running ./builddeb.sh.

Generating packages manually
Prerequisites
You'll need to install some packages on the build machine. Some of them are in the nova-core PPA, so add it as a repository:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nova-core/ppa sudo apt-get update
During the build process, you will be informed about which packages are missing from your system, but there are some additional packages that are required for building the documentation:
sudo apt-get install python-greenlet python-rrdtool
You'll need Sphinx 1.0 or greater for doing the build or the documentation generation will fail and the build will abort. You can check what version of Sphinx is being used by your version of Python by doing:
python -c "import sphinx; print sphinx.__version__"
Finally, you'll need the following packages on your system to be able to generate the packages:
sudo apt-get install dpkg-dev quilt
Generating binary packages
Combine the main nova code with the packaging scripts:
bzr export nova lp:nova bzr export nova-packaging lp:~openstack-ubuntu-packagers/ubuntu/natty/nova/ubuntu mv nova-packaging/debian nova
Edit the changelog entry. The following commands will specify a Lucid package with version "2011.1-0ubuntu2-local1" and a changelog entry "Local build for internal testing"
cd nova dch -v 2011.1-0ubuntu2-local1 -D lucid "Local build for internal testing"
If you're building for Lucid, you need to define the following variable before building the packages so that the debian/patches/nova-manage_flagfile_location.patch patch file gets applied:
QUILT_PATCHES=debian/patches quilt push -a
Generate the packages:
./builddeb.sh
The packages will appear in the parent of the nova directory.
