Hello Lucas, this is amzing. I would like to join my thanks to you and everybody who worked on this award. I have been working on using Debian-Installer to prepare super-clean machine images for Amazon-compatible clouds, but unfortunately with not so much success. See the following bugs to see details about where I block (the partitionning). http://bugs.debian.org/637784 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/partman-base/+bug/862903 I welcome your or others comments about my approach. I hope that with this or as co-maintainer of the euca2ools package I can help you on the archive rebuilds project. Or with other contributions ? But for the moment my experience with cloud computing is limited to read D-I partman logs on micro-instances… By the way, I am very curious about the calculations you made to estimate 60 full rebuilds to 10,000 dollars. I would be very interested to read it if you can share it. Have a nice day, and thanks again to you, “everybody who made it possible”, and also to Grid'5000 for the previous rebuilds, because you just gave an interesting estimate of how much we would have had to pay to do rebuilds without their support. -- Charles Plessy Tsurumi, Kanagawa, Japan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-qa-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
