Thanks for the reply. I did follow your discussion. I guess currently these three methods ensure the latest version: * Build from the master branch * The temporary new pypi https://pypi.python.org/pypi/cloudmonkey-latest/ * The possible new git repo https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/cloudstack-cloudmonkey.git
