[10:35] <ikonia> hello cloud-init community, I was wondering if there was a way to install a deb or rpm from a specific URL, rather than adding a repo and configuring the package as an install, eg: dnf install http://someurl.com/dumb-package.rpm 
[10:36] <ikonia> I could break out to shell commands from within cloud-init, but using the apt/yum provider is there a way to do this ?
[16:30] <jchittum> ikonia : my dnf / yum is rusty, but apt doesn't support passing arbitrary urls for install. you must configure a repo. I also don't think `cloud-init` supports local installation via the `package` stanza. So it's on to bash where you can `wget` or `curl` the package and then run `apt` or `dnf` against the local file
[22:14] <holmanb> Is anybody aware of any cloud images shipped by distros that have no default locale set?
