Bug Description

Heat is currently only packaged for Fedora, and anecdotal evidence based on IRC/ML queries indicates most (all?) of our users are using Ubuntu.

So it seems sensible to make heat more easily consumable on Ubuntu by getting it packaged for that platform.

Need to come up with an easy/low-maintenance way of doing this -even if we don't submit the packages for inclusion in Debian/Ubuntu then perhaps we can implement an oz style "make deb" and "make rpm" makefile, and drop the separate heat-rpms repo

Then users can simply make deb packages from releases or git clones, and we can easily create a ppa, and when proven perhaps consider submission to Debian (so that the package will end up in Ubuntu)

All downstream distros presently are maintaining separate repositories for their packaging for OpenStack. I prefer we not blaze new trails except on something we excel at, (ie: Heat..:) Simple solution would be to produce some initial deb style packaging (heat-deb repo) and create a PPA for Ubuntu users.

Asking me is the right start . I can get things setup in the CI
lab@Canonical that generates those packages.

In the interests of not duplicating to much work, I'm going to wait
for Thomas' work to land in Debian experimental (should do soon
hopefully) and then we can sync up from there into the main distro and
into the CI tooling that we have for producing trunk builds.

I had a crack at packaging and creating a PPA for heat-cfntools:

I'll let Thomas know of this, so he can either base his heat-cfntools packaging off this, or start from scratch

This is done. Heat 2013.1.2 is in Saucy (the future Ubuntu 13.10).
