Hi all,

I've updated the AMI used for ec2 tests to revision 502. It's based on
the official 10.04 64-bit server image and should be running
PostgreSQL 8.4. I know that Gary only just released his image (rev
500) yesterday that runs 8.4, but this new image has been generated
with some additional goodness:

  lp:~allenap/launchpad/ec2-images-no-env-via-ssh

    This prevents LANG and LC_* environment variables from getting
    into the new image via ssh.

  lp:~allenap/launchpad/create-bucket-first

    Create the destination bucket before building the new image.

See their merge proposals for the rationale. I'll be landing these
branches today.

I've updated the wiki page at https://dev.launchpad.net/EC2Test/Image.
It records the exact command I used to create the image.

Please let me know if you experience weirdness with the image. For the
next few days at least I'll have some knowledge of this stuff still
cached.

Earlier in the week I also landed a new command for bin/ec2 that shows
all the candidate testing images:

It's probably safe to remove all but the top two or three of those (to
save some money if nothing else).

Gavin.
