I'm trying to install euca2ools from source on Ubuntu 9.10 UEC.

When I make euca2ools and do a /usr/local/bin/euca-version I'm getting 1.0-31337 2009-04-04. I'm grabbing the package from http://open.eucalyptus.com/downloads.

Anybody know why I'm not seeing version 1.2?

pls see http://open.eucalyptus.com/forum/creating-image-existing

Trying:
apt-get install bzr
bzr co lp:eucalyptus/euca2ools-1.0
Check euca-version under the download tool package folder, it will be 1.2xxx but the time stamp was not right.

// install euca2ools by running "make" under downloaded folder

export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH
Find __init__.py under ../euca2ools-1.0/...
cp over __init__.py to/usr/share/pyshared/euca2ools/__init__.py

I guess if you un-install the existed euca tool first, you may not need to do the COPY or EXPORT steps.
I don't know, didn't get time to try yet.

Good luck.

Thanks for pointing this

Thanks for pointing this out.

I wonder why the euca2ools on the download page seems to be compiling as 1.0. Do they just have the wrong version up?

No, they have the latest version, but the values that spit out for "euca-version", etc., have not been updated. Unbundle the euca2ools-1.2.tar.gz file and look in the file:

euca2ools-1.2/euca2ools/euca2ools/__init__.py

... and you should see the following lines:

BUNDLER_VERSION = "1.0"
VERSION = "2007-10-10"
RELEASE = "31337"
