F5 Openstack Plugin installation on CentOS 6 does not create iapps directory
I installed the F5 Openstack Plugin on CentOS 6 by downloading the software from here https://devcentral.f5.com/d/openstack-neutron-lbaas-driver-and-agent I installed two packages viz. f5-bigip-lbaas-agent-1.0.8-2.noarch.centos6.rpm and f5-lbaas-driver-1.0.8-2.noarch.centos6.rpm. One of the packages did not create a directory called "iapps" under /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/f5/bigip/. The downloaded software also does not include two files viz. openstack_lbaas_v1_implementation.txt and openstack_lbaas_v1_presentation.txt.
When I started the F5 Lbaas agent after installation, it complained that the two text files does not exist in the directory. I got the two files from github, created the iapps directory manually and then placed the two text files in this directory and the F5 Lbaas agent did not complain.
I wanted to verify whether I have downloaded the latest software. If somebody has faced this similar issue and have found a solution then your help is very much appriciated.

Sorry for the packaging issue. We had a problem with python distutils in EL6 not including the data_files (non-python packages) in the package properly. Debian and EL7 packages were fine.
In version 1.0.10 a work-around the EL6 distutil issues has been included.
Also.. 1.0.10 works with Icehouse, Juno, and Kilo!
