Thanks,
I did have that link as one of the items in a list of reference
material. The reason I went the way I did is so I could integrate into
our (Gentoo infra's) image building process.
Also, thanks for the offer to help, we are in the #gentoo-openstack
channel on freenode. I've been working the last few years on openstack
(including the ebuild maintence for it in gentoo) at Rackspace :P.
I generally recommend people use the openstack-meta-2015.0.9999 package
right now, as it deploys from stable/kilo.
