I have packaged CI and openSSI for debian . The source (tar.gz ) and
binary packages for same can be downloaded from

http://openssi.org/contrib/debian/

It might help if you organized these packages like so:

debian/
+---src/
| +---ci/*.tar.gz
| +---openssi/*.tar.gz
+---binary/
+---ci/*.deb
+---openssi/*.deb

Certain packages, such as cluster-tools, would appear in multiple
directories (it could be hard linked).

You can also eliminate binary packages that we don't modify, such as
util-linux*.deb (only mount*.deb from the util-linux source is modified).

Have you given any thought to packaging these .debs as a release? It
seems like a good goal to make the Red Hat and Debian binary releases
look as similar as possible (principle of least surprise for the user).
For example, the Red Hat release has a ./install script for
automatically installing and updating RPMs, as well as running
openssi_configure_cluster to do the initial configuration. We could
separate out the distro specific stuff and use it for both releases.

I will organize the packages as you suggested. My aim of putting those
.deb and tar.gz in the contrib section was to get the feedback from
other who are willing to give it a try. Once we fix any remaining issues
with packaging, we can put it in the same way redhat releases happens
now.

I have found some issues (mostly packaging error ) with the base
packages i uploaded yesterday. ( e2fsprogs/devfsd/ are having problems.)
I am working on this. I have deleted the uploaded packages as of now.
Will inform once i have it fixed.

I have uploaded the new packages at

http://openssi.org/contrib/debian/

BUG reports and patches are welcome.
These packages are built on debian testing/unstable. I have done
minimal testing with single node. That means the kernel boots and the
base commands works.
