Both of these are likely to be harder than just changing the image to add the appropriate bit of configuration, IMO. cloud-init makes sense when you're using unmodified cloud images, but we already have a pipeline for modifying images for our use; https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~canonical-sysadmins/canonical-is-charms/launchpad-buildd-image-modifier/view/head:/files/scripts/setup-ppa-buildd is the key bit here. (But I'd still need to know what exactly we need to set there.) I'd still like it to be fixed in bionic's systemd, even if we need to work around it in the short term. -- Colin Watson (he/him) [cjwat...@canonical.com] -- ubuntu-devel mailing list ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel
