Hello folks! I'm attempting to automate the process of fetching base disk images for various platforms, and I have to say that the naming of the debian images seems arbitrary. Is there any way that we could pick something a little more consistent, or at least add some symlinks?
To demonstrate the difficulties I've been having, I wrote a little script, fetch-baseimages.pl <http://git.linuxfoundation.org/?p=cjcollier/openstack.git;a=blob;f=fetch-base-images.pl;h=620e84c1fc2a0c738d3a99e17eee5692aafe9c66;hb=HEAD#l66> Note the conditional on line 66 <http://git.linuxfoundation.org/?p=cjcollier/openstack.git;a=blob;f=fetch-base-images.pl;h=620e84c1fc2a0c738d3a99e17eee5692aafe9c66;hb=HEAD#l66>. Also note the considerably longer and somewhat hard-coded method of determining the filename and url of the disk image for each supported release, starting on line 33 <http://git.linuxfoundation.org/?p=cjcollier/openstack.git;a=blob;f=fetch-base-images.pl;h=620e84c1fc2a0c738d3a99e17eee5692aafe9c66;hb=HEAD#l33> . My recommendation would be to use only the major version number in the filename, and to have the file reside in a directory named with the major version, as well. This is the way that the other OSs which we support do it. Well, Ubuntu uses a string representing the YY.MM instead of a major version, but at least it's consistent :-) Can has help please? Thanks in advance! C.J.
