While its true that Canonical isn't providing packages between releases, I am doing so in Debian: I do publish each and every beta releases of OpenStack backported for Jessie on non-debian-official repositories. If we get enough people working on the Debian packaging (which means: more than just me right now...), then I may at some point be able to do packaging from trunk as well. I already wrote the scripts in Jenkins to do so, but what's blocking me is having enough time to do the 3rd party and OpenStack libraries update. I would very much like if the Kolla project was reusing my work on the Debian packaging. I would be very supportive of that, and will do as much as I can to help. Currently, my packages work out of the box in Debian, and can be rebuilt for Ubuntu Trusty. Upstream puppet also work out of the box. The only thing, if you use Ubuntu, is to install a file in /etc/facter/facts.d/os_package_type.txt containing "os_package_type=debian" (to tell puppet that you're using Debian type of packages on top of Ubuntu, which will influence package and service naming, needed to handle the packaging differences in Nova, Neutron and Horizon). Your thoughts?
