[size comparisions snipped] My concern is latency, not size. How many round trips will we save this way? For cloud images using Amazon S3 mirrors, for example, each request is quite a bit slower AIUI, and apt-get doesn't currently support concurrent requests to a single server. This is a pain for instances that start up with cloud-init and immediately have to update sources and install things before they can become functional. It'd be nice to see the delay from "juju deploy" to having a live service running get shorter. Same for "juju add-unit". Admittedly an alternative means to achieve this could be to have cloud-init remove the deb-src lines first, but it seems a shame to leave others behind if this really does improve things. I agree that I should come up with actual figures before pushing ahead for this reason. -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
