Ah, so the only distro regularly tested is Ubuntu 12.04?  That's 
consistent with the other clues I am getting.  But it is inconsistent with 
the following remark found in http://devstack.org/overview.html :

The OpenStack Technical Committee (TC) has defined the current CI strategy 
to include the latest Ubuntu release and the latest RHEL release (for 
Python 2.6 testing).

It may not be obvious to core developers, but for us newbies there is a 
lot of inconsistent and incomplete documentation of what to expect and how 
to do things --- and it is scattered in a variety of places, easy to miss 
some; it really is a drag on a beginner's time.  I am trying to point out 
and fix doc problems as I discover them, but am not myself so sure what 
all the right answers are.

Regards,
Mike
