SpamapSsmoser: the idea I'm throwing out in the pad is that its a bit silly for us, fedora, centos, rhel, sles, etc, to maintain our own systems for a symbolic os to provider to image id mapping..14:24
SpamapSsmoser: I know we'd rather everybody use Ubuntu, but the best way to do that is to influence the process by which they choose images, by providing a widespread tool and a way for others to get on board with it.14:25
smoserSpamapS, yeah....14:25
smoserunderstandable.14:25
SpamapSMuch like we're doing w/ cobbler really.14:26
smosercloudimg-query ec2 us-east-1 oneiric i386 daily14:26
smosercloudimg-query rackspace lucid release14:26
smoserthe like.14:26
smoserand the backend service to push to to have that data consistent.14:27
SpamapSThis whole process of figuring out the AMI to use is a bit silly isn't it?14:28
SpamapSI know we're solving this on Ubuntu, but it would be even better to solve this on Mac OS and Fedora and etc. as well.14:28
smoseri agree. other than, really, why would i want to make it easy for users to bring unnecessary pain by using something other than Ubuntu?14:33
SpamapSIts a flawed idea that you can get all users on Ubuntu14:33
SpamapSbut you can make it easier for people to get Ubuntu14:34
smoseri was being sarcastic, SpamapS.  Really, why would you pick *this* time to assume i was being serious.14:36
SpamapSits 7:30 here.. no coffee.. no people.. social skills don't get started until 9:0014:39

SpamapScan an ebs root be resized and the root re-size recognized without rebooting an instance?14:54
smoserSpamapS, yes! magic it just happends on natty or greater.15:15
smoserhttp://ubuntu-smoser.blogspot.com/2011/07/getting-larger-root-volume-on-cluster.html15:16
smoserfor other than hvm on ec2, though, it magically resized i think in maverick. as you dont need a trick to get the kernel to re-read the disk partition table (as there is none)15:18
smosermy most recent images published on canonistack hit this code path too.15:19

koolhead17hi all17:50
SpamapSkirkland: whats the package that gives you a command on oneiric to say "give me a lucid instance" ?18:40
SpamapSsmoser: ^^ ?18:40
smosercloud-utils18:40
smoserthe help is non-existant (i believe Kirkland said he'd do that)18:41
SpamapS:)18:41
smoser--dry-run will tell you what it is going to do18:42
SpamapScool18:43
kirklandSpamapS: you want: ubuntu-ec2-run lucid18:43
kirklandSpamapS: personally, i always want "daily"18:43
kirklandSpamapS: so for me, it's "ubuntu-ec2-run lucid daily"18:43
kirklandSpamapS: i also usually want t1.micro18:44
kirklandSpamapS: so that's "ubuntu-ec2-run lucid daily t1.micro"18:44

smoserSpamapS, i just pushed usage to upstream cloud-utils branch: https://code.launchpad.net/~cloud-utils-dev/cloud-utils/trunk19:31
smoserthat is probably worth pulling back to ubuntu19:31
