I did have that link as one of the items in a list of reference material. The reason I went the way I did is so I could integrate into our (Gentoo infra's) image building process. Also, thanks for the offer to help, we are in the #gentoo-openstack channel on freenode. I've been working the last few years on openstack (including the ebuild maintence for it in gentoo) at Rackspace :P. I generally recommend people use the openstack-meta-2015.0.9999 package right now, as it deploys from stable/kilo. -- Matthew Thode (prometheanfire)
