Not necessarily. True, they don't use it in Ubuntu but a lot of work has recently gone into making cloud-init distro-agnostic and upstream is certainly not pushing back on distro-specific init scripts. > What we do in Debian is using SVN on Alioth, so it really is using a > VCS, no problem with that.

I've provided patches to cloud-init in the past and know the process and the maintainer. Did you make modifications to the scripts that I attached to http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=709173? If so, can you send them to me and I'll start the process of pushing them upstream. ...Juerg > Thomas > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] > with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
