Public bug reported: During instance boot, cloud-init installs packages (if instructed by the user). During instance boot, there is no state of the system that the user cares about.
I'd like to use eatmydata for apt-get install at that point, as it is dramatically faster than apt-get even with --force-unsafe-io. >From an ubuntu perspective, this change would mean: a.) depending on eatmydata b.) MIR for eatmydata c.) fixing eatmydata's relationship with sysvinit scripts. The thing to fix there is that if you 'eatmydata apt-get install some-service' and some-service starts a daemon, the daemon will inherit the LD_PRELOAD which is most likely not desired. ** Affects: cloud-init Importance: Undecided Status: Confirmed ** Affects: cloud-init (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Confirmed ** Affects: libeatmydata (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: cloud-init (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: cloud-init (Ubuntu) Milestone: None => ubuntu-14.02 ** Changed in: cloud-init (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: cloud-init Status: New => Confirmed ** Also affects: libeatmydata (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1236531 Title: support running apt with eatmydata To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-init/+bug/1236531/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
