Public bug reported: Binary package hint: testdrive
Under the cloud-images-sans-cloud [1] spec, I've done work to make the UEC images bootable outside of a EC2 or UEC compatible cloud. That includes launching them directly with kvm. With this functionality exposed, the UEC images now provide a very useful ready-to-boot image (already installed), similar to what the live-cd's provide for desktop. For ubuntu, kubuntu, and other ubuntu flavors, testdrive makes it very easy for someone to "test drive" a new release. I would like to modify test drive to support booting the UEC images. In general this will be low impact on existing testdrive functionality as the code for uec-images will take a different path. -- [1] https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/server-maverick-cloud-images-sans-cloud ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.10 Package: testdrive-cli 3.0-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: User Name 2.6.35-15.21-virtual 2.6.35.1 Uname: Linux 2.6.35-15-virtual x86_64 Architecture: amd64 Date: Wed Aug 18 16:38:33 2010 Ec2AMI: ami-06957f6f Ec2AMIManifest: ubuntu-images-testing-us/ubuntu-maverick-daily-amd64-server-20100817.manifest.xml Ec2AvailabilityZone: us-east-1c Ec2InstanceType: m1.large Ec2Kernel: aki-427d952b Ec2Ramdisk: unavailable PackageArchitecture: all ProcEnviron: PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: testdrive ** Affects: testdrive (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug ec2-images maverick -- [FFE] testdrive should support booting uec images https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/619974 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
