Hey All-

I'd like to announce the availability of Folsom trunk testing PPAs for 
Ubuntu 12.04 and and 12.10.  We've spent a considerable amount of time 
this cycle expanding our test infrastructure + coverage and packaging 
efforts in order to support a single Openstack release across two Ubuntu 
releases.  We're not *entirely* there yet, but anyone interested in 
testing a packaged version of Folsom are encouraged to check out the PPA 
[1].

https://launchpad.net/~openstack-ubuntu-testing/+archive/folsom-trunk-testing

The PPA contains packages for both Precise and Quantal (they are built 
and uploaded in parallel).  You can add the PPA to a system running 
either release by running:

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:openstack-ubuntu-testing/folsom-trunk-testing

In addition to the core Openstack folsom projects, the PPA also contains 
several new dependencies that either did not exist in time for 12.04 or 
have not yet be promoted to the main archives in 12.10. (Note, these 
will all be available and supported via the cloud archive [2] when it 
goes live)

We're still in the process of fleshing out some of the logistics 
regarding packaging branches and where to propose merges, but in the 
meantime any packaging related bugs are more than welcome to be filed 
against the respective project in Ubuntu.  This PPA represents the work 
we're doing around Openstack packaging for multiple Ubuntu releases.  
Any help making sure this stuff is solid would be greatly appreciated as 
it currently benefits two simultaneous release efforts.

As mentioned, packages for 12.04 and 12.10 are built and uploaded in 
parallel for new commits that hit trunk.  You can track these builds on 
our Jenkins dashboard [2].  Deployment and integration testing results 
should start to publish to that dashboard in the next day or so.  We've 
been triggering cinder and cinderclient builds, but those packages 
haven't yet seen much testing.

Again, any help is greatly appreciated.   Our trunk testing PPAs 
generated some excellent feedback, bug reports and packaging fixes from 
the community toward the end of last cycle and I'd love to get that 
going earlier this time around.

Cheers,
Adam
