Hello, In case you missed the team meeting today, here are the highlights from today's conversation:
Image lifecycle docs -------------------- A few points were discussed about lifecycle documentation for our images. I have a draft based on the earlier proposal and today's discussion, and will send it out shortly. Openstack images for bullseye ----------------------------- It'd be ideal to release bullseye with a single set of openstack images. zigo has previously identified some outstanding issues with the FAI-based process: - there isn't a stable URL for the latest image. Both the directory and the image filename contain the date & build number. - release images aren't triggered automatically by security updates, and daily stable builds often happen without changes in the archive. If you have some time, it'd be very useful to dig into these. debian-cloud-images removed from testing ---------------------------------------- A while back, the debian-cloud-images tool was packaged. Recently, it was removed from testing. The consensus on the call was that this is okay: - it wasn't kept updated after the initial upload. - it isn't clear how useful it is, the README has a simple apt command to install the debian-cloud-images requirements. If that package was useful to you, please speak up - or better, volunteer to keep it up to date! Debian images on EC2 quick launch screen ---------------------------------------- For a long time, the EC2 quick launch provided lots of OS options, but not Debian. Noah reported that this has finally changed - new users will see Debian as an option when clicking through the console to start a new virtual machine. Ross
