Epic merge fail

(seven less than symbols since blogger can't handle them)
#import sys
#import os
#sys.path += [os.getcwd()]

import VMBuilder
=======
class Suite(object):
def __init__(self, vm):
self.vm = vm
self.isodir = '/media/vmbuilder_inst_image'
self.iso_mounted = False
(seven greater than symbols since blogger can't handle them)vmbuilder_trunk:VMBuilder/plugins/ubuntu/suite.py

This happened to come from my attempt to merge VMbuilder trunk 0.11 with the current master; Git thought suite.py was moved to debian-vm-builder and tried to merge it.

Oh and yes that also means VMbuilder trunk 0.11 is now in alioth. I can't believe I missed it. It includes all the EC2 stuff without the install_[hardy,intrepid,jaunty] cruft as well.

So, to-do list:
  • Get Debian plugins working with EC2 VMbuilder. The debian plugin branch on Launchpad hasn't been updated since June 6th; maybe bzed maintains another repo?
  • Try building the package and installing it. Side note: They removed packaging info from the trunk midway between 0.10 and 0.11, but I kept the /debian folder anyway in vmbuilder.git.
  • Speaking of which during the merge I noticed the default sudoers template explicitly references an "ubuntu" group, something that should be changed eventually.
  • Look into the vmbuilder-gui branch sometime.

  1. No, bzed was just on VAC. Will Update the Debian branch within the next days, as soon as I find the time for it.

  2. ... merged trunk into the debian branch. Now I need to take care of Lenny, Squeeze and unstable. And then test it... Help is welcome ;)
