Yes, that should definitely be installable without pulling the whole thing. I would file a bug against the relevant packaging, for example for Keystone in Ubuntu: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/keystone/+filebug That said, in that particular case, we should probably first address the wider question of where the keystone/swift middleware should actually live. Looks like for the other projects this is shipped as part of the core project code, and having some consistency there would probably be good. -- Thierry Carrez (ttx) Release Manager, OpenStack _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openstack Post to : openstack@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openstack More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
