+ Official Debian images + Debian does not (yet) provide images for direct download. + Instead, a package named openstack-debian-images + provides a simple script for building them. This package is available + in Debian Unstable, Debian Jessie, and through the wheezy-backports + repositories. To produce a Wheezy image, simply run: + # build-openstack-debian-image -r wheezy + If building the image for Wheezy, packages like + cloud-init, cloud-utils or + cloud-initramfs-growroot will be pulled from + wheezy-backports. Also, the current version of + bootlogd in Wheezy doesn't support logging to + multiple consoles, which is needed so that both the OpenStack + Dashboard console and the nova console-log + console works. However, a + fixed version is available from the non-official GPLHost + repository. To install it on top of the image, it is possible + to use the option of the + build-openstack-debian-image script, with this + kind of script as parameter: +#!/bin/sh + +cp bootlogd_2.88dsf-41+deb7u2_amd64.deb ${BODI_CHROOT_PATH} +chroot ${BODI_CHROOT_PATH} dpkg -i bootlogd_2.88dsf-41+deb7u2_amd64.deb +rm ${BODI_CHROOT_PATH}/bootlogd_2.88dsf-41+deb7u2_amd64.deb +
