Hi! We've just setup online a new deb-status system [2] to compare what's been released in OpenStack upstream and what has been packaged in Debian. This is an effort to keep each stable branch up-to-date in Debian. This has been possible thanks to Michal Arbet from ultimum.io who wrote os-version-checker [1]. So, a big up to him and ultimum technologies. Note that the Rocky page may not reflect reality, since most of the components are available directly in Debian Buster. Browsing this page, you will notice that both Train and Ussuri are pretty much in an up-to-date shape! :) Note that this page is updated every hours. Also, the Debian packages are now available using extrepo, to make it easier to install. Extrepo is an initiative from Wouter Verhelst to have something comparable to PPA, at least in the way to install the repositories (ie: super easy now...). For example, to install Ussuri in Buster, one can do: apt-get install -t buster-backports extrepo extrepo enable openstack_ussuri This will install the repository as: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/extrepo_openstack_train.sources then you can start using Ussuri using apt as usual. Last, we're searching for volunteers to mirror the osbpo.debian.net Buster backport repositories (to make sure it isn't only on the hands of me and my employer). The only thing that shall be done is to setup an rsync mirroring of the repositories. Best would be to have a mirror in north-America and in Asia. If you're volunteering for this, especially if you are administering a CDN, please get in touch. Hoping this will improve the OpenStack on Debian experience, Cheers, Thomas Goirand (zigo) [1] https://salsa.debian.org/openstack-team/debian/os-version-checker [2] http://osbpo.debian.net/deb-status/
