[Dave Walker]

Blueprint changed by Dave Walker:

  Tuesday trunk is uploaded. txzookeeper and ensemble stalled getting into
  Debian. Zookeeper's health is quite good in Debian and Ubuntu now.

  == The road to main for ensemble ==
  
  1. When do we want that to happen?
  
  - 11.10 Ensemble in Universe, problem,  ensemble is rapidly developing
  how to deal with updates.
  
  Ensemble can't be "frozen" past a stable release.  We need to deploy new
  features for the project to be successful.
  
  Two possible approaches:
  
  - Use a PPA (simpler, works well)
  - Do SRUs every month or so (much more heavy weight, apparently unnecessary)
  
  We'll probably be going with the second option.
  
  2. What do we need to get done for this to happen?
  
  Needed dependencies:
  
  - txzookeeper (not packaged yet)
  - txaws (must be upgraded)
  - zookeeper (needs patches which were already pushed upstream)
  
  3. Strategies for upgrading?
  
  4. Etc.
  
  Sample interaction with Ensemble:
  
  $ ensemble bootstrap
  # Creates some files in ~/.ensemble/
  $ ensemble bootstrap
  # Creates the first instance of Ensemble on EC2
  $ ensemble deploy wordpress
  $ ensemble deploy mysql
  $ ensemble add-relation wordpress mysql
  
  This requires AWS credentials in the environment.
  
  The mysql instance can be reused across services.
