== Folsom in EPEL ==
We ran a test day on 26 Oct for Folsom on EPEL based on
[
http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/openstack/openstack-folsom/epel-6/ this side repo],
and a couple of buglets were identified before releasing to the official EPEL repo.
This side repo provided earler access to these packages, due to it's more flexible
dependency requirements.
Folsom was then [
http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/cloud/2012-November/001848.html
released to EPEL testing] on Nov 2nd.
The existing Essex packages were migrated to the

== OpenStack Installer (packstack) ==
Derek Higgins has been finalizing the multinode, scriptable OpenStack installer,
now known as "[https://github.com/fedora-openstack/packstack packstack]".
* It currently supports EPEL (but please avoid the facter update in updates-testing)
* Fedora support is problematic currently just to puppet and ruby version
incompatibilities
* OpenStack Essex is fully supported
* OpenStack Folsom is mostly supported, but is waiting on upstream puppet to merge changes
for cinder and swift.
== Essex stable releases ==
The lastest stable Essex release 2012.1.3 was released upstream for nova, keystone,
horizon,
and this was integrated into Fedora 17 and EPEL.
