Thanks for these details. What exactly is the trouble with the Swift
backend? Do you know? Is anyone working on fixing it? At my company,
we'd be happy to work on that (if of course, it's not too time demanding).

Allright, So hopefully, I'm very close from having Debian to gate
properly in puppet-openstack upstream. As much as I could tell, Glance
and Cinder are the only pieces that are still failing with SSL (and
everything works already without SSL), so I must be very close to a nice
result (after a course of nearly 2 months already).

Thanks again for all the very valuable details that you provided. I have
to admit that I was starting to loose faith in the project, because of
all the frustration of not finding a working solution.

I'll let the list knows when I have something that fully works and
gating with puppet-openstack, of course.

Cheers,
