<div><br>
</div>
<div>Packaging was one of the biggest points of interest in the
Friday Paris meeting, and I'd like to use this thread to have
a centralised discussion and/or argument regarding whether
there is a packaging system that is flexible enough that we
can adopt it as a community and reduce the fragmentation. This
conversation began in Paris, but will likely continue for some
time.</div>

<div>The Friday session indicates that as operators we have
common requirements:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>A system that takes the sources from upstream projects and
produces artifacts (packages or images).</div>

I wish I could have been there.<br>

I've been building packages for Ubuntu based on a combination of the
source packages from Ubuntu Cloud Archive and Debian, mixed in with
our own source trees with slight additions here and there. So far,
the result has been quite satisfactory and a lot easier to work with
than I'd expected at the outset.<br>
<br>
tl;dr - count me in. I build packages for our own deployments, and
would like to get the tools right.<br>

<div>There are numerous projects that have attempted to solve
this problem. Some are on stackforge, some live outside. If
you are an author or a user of one of these systems, please
give your opinion.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Once it becomes clear who is interested in this topic, we
can create a working group that will move towards
standardising on a single system that meets the needs of the
community. Once the key individuals for this project are
clear, we can schedule an appropriate meeting time on irc for
further discussion that will probably be needed.</div>

Are you still in Aus? I'm still in NZ. Timezones....<br>
