Prior to this past year we aligned with Debian as much as possible on OpenStack dependencies. In fact I spent a significant amount of time a few cycles back dropping any delta from Ubuntu deps to align with Debian. Unfortunately we can't align on the core packages until we can come to an agreement there. For example, Debian packages don't use pristine-tar and they use debconf prompts to users for configuration - whereas we use pristine-tar and don't prompt users in Ubuntu. This past year, and possibly part of the year before, Debian development on OpenStack ceased for a long stretch of time until just recently. That forced us to completely change our workflow to an Ubuntu focus. If we shared all packages that could've been a different story. Regards, Corey > Cheers, > > Thomas Goirand (zigo) >
