Comment 3 for bug 1257649

Btw, there's no openstack involved. It's juju bootstrap on MAAS that takes longer than 10 min in the MAAS QA lab. With the timeout increased to 30 minutes, bootstrap proceeds further but I couldn't confirm that it actually finishes because my compiled version was compiled on Trusty and I was deploying on Precise. For this reason, --upload-tools fails at some point later on in the bootstrap workflow. Curtis gave me another workaround to use the --metadata-source option so the MAAS instance can download the juju tools from that source instead of searching for them in S3 (the lab doesn't have access to that). Today I'll give it a try again, maybe by setting up a proper simplestreams mirror for the MAAS lab and will report back. I think Curtis have enough details from our IRC conversation to file a proper bug regarding the use of --metadata-source in a network without wide access to the Internet. Thanks a lot for raising the importance of this bug.
