[10:46] <aciba> meena: We don't have our own types for IPv4/IPv6. I think we treat addresses as strings and use the ones from ipaddress to distinguish kinds of address. For example in cloudinit.net.is_ipv4_address.
[12:34] <meena> aciba: kay, thanks for the update
[12:43] <aciba> meena: you are welcome. Nice prototype btw. Not sure how much cachable it could be, as we would have be sure there are no net conf side effects during caching times
[12:44] <meena> aciba: do we have any ways to invalidate a cache?
[12:45] <aciba> meena: at what level? python classes?
[12:50] <meena> aciba: python level, yeah. Basically the idea is, every time we do a side-effect networking function, we invalidate the cache
[13:05] <aciba> meena: Afaik we do not have something like that
[14:33] <SDes91> Hi all I have stumbled across a very weird problem.
[14:34] <SDes91> I have Ubuntu Autoinstall/cloud-init setup which does work well for Ubuntu 22.04.1 Live Server Image, however the same config fails for ubuntu 20.04.5 when it comes to installing a certain package.
[14:42] <aciba> SDes91: could you share your user-data please?
[14:42] <waldi> and maybe the log
[14:44] <aciba> to do so: https://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/topics/bugs.html#collect-logs
[14:46] <SDes91> Let me get back to you on this. I was able to get this to work by removing the package. Sorry I simply restarted the my image build and lost the logs (doing it via QEMU).
[14:47] <SDes91> Let me try to reproduce it and I will get back to you
[15:22] <minimal> ....and he joins asks a couple of things and quits again, lol, I never did get a chance to help him with his earlier problem
[15:45] <meena> minimal: more people need to learn about the possibility to run your IRC client on a computer that's not the one you're using… somewhere where it can just run forever… maybe some kind of server??
[16:06] <minimal> meena: its more a case of not expecting to pop into a channel and then expect an answer to their question within minutes, and then leave the channel fairly quickly
[16:08] <minimal> meena: they don't need to stay logged in if they check the channel logs but if they do neither then it is hit-and-miss whether someone can get hold of them
[16:46] <aciba> would it be a good idea to add a link to the irc logs in the channel message to improve discoverability?
[16:48] <minimal> aciba: it wouldn't hurt
[20:18] <meena> the key is hashed: https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/f9433fff476aa13af9cb314fcc6962055faa4085/Lib/functools.py#L432
[23:13] <meena> well, anyway, here's a first start: https://github.com/igalic/cloud-init/pull/new/net/add-ifconfig-parsers
