Hi Jesse and Anthony, Mike McClurg has a devstack branch that implements support for devstack on Debian/Ubuntu + the XCP toolstack [1]. Bascially, you can take a Debian/Ubuntu system with the xcp-xapi package installed and configured [2] and then run the devstack xcp-toolstack branch (specially the scripts in the xcp-toolstack directory of that branch) to prepare the Debian/Ubuntu-based Dom0 and build the OpenStack VM on top of that. We've been testing it and we also have some early adopters that have also been testing it. We would like to open it up to a wider audience.
[1] http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/XCP_toolstack_on_a_Debian-based_distribution [2] https://github.com/mcclurmc/devstack/tree/xcp-toolstack/tools/xcp-toolstack First of all, our you guys interested in merging this type of suppport into devstack? Second, we are wondering about the right implementation approach as far as merging it with the existing Xen scripts. The are basically two choices: 1) Pull in the xcp-toolstack branch as its own and have it just work, but have the maintenance problem of duplication of code. (Less work now, bigger maintenance cost) or 2) Refactor the xcp-toolstack and Xen versions so that the common code is factored out nicely. (More work now, less maintenance cost) For your convenience, a diff is available here: http://paste.openstack.org/show/4909/ Thoughts?
