Chapter 2. Basic environment in OpenStack Installation Guide for Ubuntu 14.04 - juno

[Cong Yue]

To Enable the Ubuntu Cloud archive repository for ubuntu 14.04 as
# add-apt-repository cloud-archive:juno

We need to add the trusty-updates first as
# apt-get update && apt-get install -y software-properties-common
# add-apt-repository -y cloud-archive:juno

I confirmed it in my PC. Hope this can be updated in the office documentation. I also I heard there are other gaps between the documentation and the actual installation procedure. Does this installation procedure confirmed by some person?

Thanks,

The installation of software-properties-common is documented in the paragraph just before.

Maybe we could add an explicit 'apt-get update' to avoid surprises.

[Steven Deaton (sdeaton2)]

If you are saying that 'software-properties-common' is needed instead of 'python-software-properties', then yes.. .correct.. and this is being worked on. Thank you.

I'm fairly certain Matt Kassawara has tested the procedure since he was updating the Installation Guide for Juno.

Darren, python-software-properties does not provide add-apt-repository. Further, it does not pull in software-properties-common. I believe python-software-properties _did_ provide it before 12.04 Ubuntu, but it has not in quite a while.

# apt-file search /usr/bin/add-apt-repository
software-properties-common: /usr/bin/add-apt-repository

Additionally, it should be noted that this needs to be pulled from the trusty-updates repo since version software-properties-common requires version 0.92.37.2 to support cloud-archive:juno. See https://launchpad.net/bugs/1350291

# apt-cache policy software-properties-common
software-properties-common:
  Installed: 0.92.37.2
  Candidate: 0.92.37.2

    Install cloud-archive repository manually

    Removed using the apt-add-repository tool due to differences in versions
    and package names. Using this tool would require checking if the trusty-updates
    repository was enabled and add an additional step to enable the repo if it was
    no enabled.
