For RPMs, I encourage you to join RDO community and start from sending
a package for Delorean. The docs for the start are at:

https://openstack.redhat.com/packaging/rdo-packaging.html

I will be happy to review the package.

I think it's still in progress and under discussion, so your best bet
for now is to work with existing packaging communities. For RPMs it's
RDO and maybe some SuSE effort (not sure).

I believe the problem with autogenerated packages is that in most
cases than not they break lots of target platform rules and requirements
.

I don't believe there should be an expectation that any single
distribution will package all networking-* packages themselves. That
said, I believe zigo can be interested in getting contributions from you
.
