[rhos-list] Updated RHOS Folsom Preview Packages (2012.2.1 + OVS)

[Perry Myers]

Just wanted to pass along an update...

We've pushed updated packages to the RHOS Folsom Preview repository for
the 2012.2.1 stable branch releases.  This includes updates for:

python-django-horizon
openstack-glance
openstack-cinder
openstack-nova
openstack-quantum
openstack-keystone

We also shipped some brand new packages:
openstack-packstack
openvswitch

PackStack is a text based installation utility for doing proof of
concept, multi-host RHOS installs.  It can be run on a single host and
will use ssh to communicate to other hosts (that you define) to install
core RHOS services on a small cluster of nodes.  This should simplify
getting a vanilla RHOS setup going significantly.

The documentation on docs.redhat.com still outlines the manual
installation procedure.  But we should be updating these docs in the
near future to cover some PackStack basics as well.  But feel free to
try it out, and let us know how it works.

We also now ship the openvswitch userspace package, which can be used
with the openvswitch kernel modules available in the RHEL 6.4 Beta.  So
if you want to try out RHOS Folsom Quantum with OVS, you can do so now.
 We have some basic documentation on how to use this combination here:

Just make sure to update your RHEL 6.3 host to RHEL 6.4, by enabling the
RHEL 6.4 beta repository.  You can do this with with the following
commands if you are using subscription-manager:

sudo yum repolist
sudo yum-config-manager --enable rhel-6-server-beta-rpms
sudo yum update

Let us know if you have any questions or run into any problems.
