Shame on me: when the cave-man were clubbing each other, I switched from
slackware (floppy install back then) to debian and never moved since. I
did know Fedora <version>, but my finger failed me :)

That would be fantastic! The problem what we have is that we sit on top of
a fairly big stack of other projects (which of course made Eucalyptus
doable) which are not packaged. We did try to provide some basic packages
for the one we felt we could take a stab at (in particular axis2c and
rampartc) but the packages are not official from upstream, nor we did a
very good job (they are packaged to ease the installation or Eucalyptus).
Also we don't have expertise to package the java projects we need.

As you may know we are in ubuntu and we are in the process of getting into
debian: this was possible becasue ubuntu helped up in the packaging effort
and in packaging the dependencies. We hopefully know a bit more about
packaging, but we still need to have our dependencies packaged. What is
the best course of action here? 

cheers
