Hello,<br>
<br>
The EC2 Ubuntu repository mirrors are down and according to
communication from Canonical, they will not come up. This is because
13.04 is on a short support cycle, see<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://fridge.ubuntu.com/2013/03/19/changes-in-ubuntu-releases-decided-by-the-ubuntu-technical-board/">http://fridge.ubuntu.com/2013/03/19/changes-in-ubuntu-releases-decided-by-the-ubuntu-technical-board/</a><br>
and it has reached end of life in January 2014:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases</a>.<br>
<br>
This is very inconvenient. When I start a new spot instance with the
loadbalancer, the pkginstaller plugin needs to install packages and
the central (us.archive.ubuntu.com) repositories are not enabled by
default.<br>
<br>
Would it be possible to:<br>
a/ always enable archive.ubuntu.com repositories to be used if EC2
mirrors go down (or add an option to the pkginstall plugin to accept
repository URLs to add to sources.list),<br>
b/ add StarCluster AMIs with Ubuntu 14.10 LTS?<br>
<br>
Currently, out of the Ubuntu releases supported by StarCluster only
12.04 has not reached end-of-life:<br>

All,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>For a temporary fix for the problem, I've edited my
/etc/apt/sources.list file, fixing the URLs (shortening the
hostname to <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://archive.ubuntu.com">archive.ubuntu.com</a>).
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Then you can</div>
<div>>apt-get update</div>
<div>and</div>
<div>>apt-get install (your-package)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>That'll work until the main issue is fixed
(/etc/cloud/templates/sources.list.ubuntu.tmpl ?).</div>
