Hi,
I would like to create my own OpenStack packages for testing and development purposes. I have read your doc at http://wiki.openstack.org/LifeWithBzrAndLaunchpad (http://wiki.openstack.org/LifeWithBzr...) . But it has no links on how to build a package. My servers are running, Ubuntu 10.04. It would be great if you could add documentation or give pointers regarding this.
Thanks Shiny
The packages we build an put in our PPA (which is also available for Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid), by the way) are built by taking a tarball from
http://nova.openstack.org/tarballs/
and adding this branch on top of it
https://code.launchpad.net/~openstack-ubuntu-packagers/ubuntu/natty/nova/ubuntu/ (https://code.launchpad.net/~openstack...)
and then the usual dpkg-buildpackage stuff.

Thanks Soren. It worked for me.
But there is a small issue wrt the package version. I downloaded nova-2011.1~bzr440.tar.gz and the branch from the links you gave me. However when I create packages they show me bzr425 as version number as below:
ii nova-api 2011.1~bzr425-0ubuntu1 OpenStack Compute - Nova - API frontend ii nova-common 2011.1~bzr425-0ubuntu1 OpenStack Compute - Nova - common files ii nova-compute 2011.1~bzr425-0ubuntu1 OpenStack Compute - Nova - compute node . . . . . . .
This I suppose is because debian/changelog has the string 2011.1~bzr425-0ubuntu1.
So technically is there any difference between the nova packages for a particular version uploaded at https://launchpad.net/~nova-core/+archive/trunk/ (https://launchpad.net/~nova-core/+arc...) and the ones created through tarballs and branch from the links you mentioned?

The only difference is that I add a changelog entry from a script, so functionally, it should be the exact same.
