Re: Ubuntu support

 

w00h00! Awesome news!

No need to apologize on the noise - list is quiet as-is these days :/

The only minor issues are the flags that get passed in to use python-support vs. the newer python2 system, and there isn't a debhelper script for cleaning up the sphinx documentation prior to python-sphinx 1.0.7+dfsg.   I used the debianized nova package approach and conditionally set the correct option for older releases now and I think python-support is only required on lucid at the moment.  For sphinx, the few minor commands to run were pretty easy to manually add.
