Shame on me: when the cave-man were clubbing each other, I switched from slackware (floppy install back then) to debian and never moved since. I did know Fedora <version>, but my finger failed me :) > If you would start exploring the www.fedoraproject.org site and the URL > above to see how to get a package into Fedora, that would be great.

The problem what we have is that we sit on top of a fairly big stack of other projects (which of course made Eucalyptus doable) which are not packaged. We did try to provide some basic packages for the one we felt we could take a stab at (in particular axis2c and rampartc) but the packages are not official from upstream, nor we did a very good job (they are packaged to ease the installation or Eucalyptus). Also we don't have expertise to package the java projects we need. As you may know we are in ubuntu and we are in the process of getting into debian: this was possible becasue ubuntu helped up in the packaging effort and in packaging the dependencies. We hopefully know a bit more about packaging, but we still need to have our dependencies packaged.
