[Openstack-devel] Debian GNU/Linux and Ubuntu packages diff for python-novaclient

[Loic Dachary]

Hi,

Here is a detailed analysis of the differences between the Debian GNU/Linux and Ubuntu package for python-novaclient, based on the attached file. I'm cc'ing Chuck as he may be willing to comment.


The only difference between pangolin and quetzal version of ubuntu
is that the dependency python (>= 2.6) was removed in quetzal, and
that the package watch location has been changed.

Quetzal:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/python-novaclient_2.6.10-0ubuntu1.dsc
Pangolin
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/python-novaclient_2012.1-0ubuntu1.dsc

Due to this the diff is made between quetzal version and the latest git.
