Subject: 'official' debian baseboxes

Date: Tue, 18 Dec 2012 15:05:24 -0500

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

There has been some interest in my proposal
(http://lists.debian.org/debian-cloud/2012/12/msg00079.html) to build
'official' Debian baseboxes. Since Veewee is the obvious tool of choice
for this task, I'd like to see it packaged for Debian.

I have some limited experience packaging .debs, but none with Ruby gems.
Still, I'll try to package this project, unless anyone indicates there
is already work in progress to that end.

Regards, C

Subject: who "owns" the ITP?

Date: Sun, 30 Dec 2012 19:52:55 -0500

I got interested in veewee due to Christopher's post in
debian-cloud@d.m.l ... besides "official" Vagrant images it sounds like
a viable replacement for our ad-hoc scripts to generate neuro.debian.net
.ova's for VirtualBox .

I just sent to BTS removal of blockage by 659031 since that is no longer
the case as far as I see it.

I wonder now though -- who, Laurent or Christopher or both, are actually
ITP it? ;-)

myself, I am a Python guy and really uneducated in Ruby so would be
nearly useless to help here unfortunately :-/  But I might learn it a
bit while trying to use the beast. Cheers

AFAIK there are still some (5?) direct reverse-dependencies that must
first be packaged, I'm not sure I'll have the time soon to look at this.

Maybe a first step would be to open ITP/RFP for all the missing direct
and indirect reverse dependencies for veewee.

I've no objection if someone what to takeover this ITP.

Cheers

PS: I'm not a ruby expert either. But packaging ruby gems is not that
difficult with the help of gem2deb tools :)

packer is available in the debian archive
(https://packages.qa.debian.org/p/packer.html) and will accept most of
veewee templates

since this RFP has not seen activity since 4 years, we closed it during
the debian cloud sprint

note that if you're intersted to build debian images with packer, you
can have a look at
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/cloud/debian-vm-templates.git/
