Or short summary of what we discussed in private:

- Jaime made a script to check the files of the opennebula upstream tarball against the package install files aka debian/opennebula.install. We noted that some files are missing from the install files since they are packaged elsewhere. Damien suggested to use some kind of exclude list for these files. Jaime plans to commit the script to the repository.

- I explained my existing packaging efforts for opennebula 3.6: the package basically works, the ozones server does not yet work and there is a file in debian with other TODOs like nicely done changelog (instead of git-dch dump) and open questions.

- We started discussing possible upgrade issues when an Opennebula 3.8 package from opennebula.org is installed to Squeeze and Wheezy just contains OpenNebula 3.4. apt-get / aptitude would not find a newer version unless for example opennebula.org also provides packages for Wheezy and the sources.list line for it can thus be changed to wheezy to have OpenNebula upgraded as well. That can be an issue when the OpenNebula 3.8 package for squeeze does not work with a packages it depends on in Wheezy due to package renames (libruby-something => ruby-something) or versioning conflicts.

I think thats about it.

I am happy that Jaime works on OpenNebula 3.8 community packages for Debian as I will be on vacation and be busy otherwise at work after it.

Thanks,
