As per https://github.com/mitchellh/packer/issues/1142, it's critical to add openstack_provider: rackspace in order to get anything to work reliably with Rackspace and Packer in 6.0.
Question: should the openstack_provider field now be marked as required?
Instead of pointing at a specific (in this case actually non-working!) revision, point to the github UI for the
head revision.
The user is expected to find the 'raw' link there, but the page allows to also quickly look at changes etc, which
might be helpful for people unfamiliar with kickstart files.
Use a single command line, avoid the graphical installer, and use {{ .HTTPIP }} rather than the actual IP.
Also wait a bit before entering the commands to increase the chance of actually being in the boot menu.
Add configuration option `networks`, a list of network UUIDs, to attach to the
source instance.
In some openstack installs, no default network will be attached or the network
with the ability to attach a public floating IP will need to be specified.
The IP address that the guest OS connect to download files from the
http_dir is determined by searching for a host interface with an IP
assigned. Now it is possible to use host_interfaces to select which
interfaces are searched.
