What's the fundamental difference between these scripts and
devstack
(
http://www.devstack.org) - is it just that devstack normally pulls from
the devel repositories? It looks like it can also be configured to pull
from stable releases as well.
Difference is RPMs versus however stable upstream. We may have
patches in RPMs.
but I do wonder if that specific point
deters people from trying devstack out with the Fedora configuration, or
even stops people from looking more closely at Fedora's implementation
in ways aside from doing so with Devstack.
I am sitting in a meeting and Russell is demoing devstack right this
moment. It seems to work great with Fedora.
Personally, I never use Devstack, because we have perfectly workable
RPMs in Fedora. Just "yum install openstack-foo" and voila it just
works. Devstack is for developers who want to have a very quick
cycle from git to service restart (it would not re-clone over your
changes for that reason). I know I should use it, but I just apply
my patch to /usr/lib/python2*/site-packages/....., then put it to git.
Then next version of "yum update" wipes my experiments.
