Beta AMI announcement?

[Max Spevack]

Hi folks,

I know that there was work afoot to release the F16 Beta AMi on the same 
day as the rest of F16 Beta.

Is that something that is good to go?  And if it's not, what was the 
thing that blocked or held up the release of the Beta?  The last AMI 
that I can see owned by [e-mail] is 
125523088429/Fedora-16-Beta-ec2-20110923-x86_64-sda -- I played around 
with that AMI and while I think there were a few cloud-init issues, it 
worked well enough to get the authorized_keys in the right place.

I'd also recommend that it become part of the schedule and workflow to 
update the get.fedoraproject.org page with a link to the AMI IDs, as 
well as the EC2 Images wiki page itself, with those AMI IDs.  Not only 
for Alpha/Beta, but definitely for GA.

Maybe even add a blurb to the release announcement when it talks about 
the different ways to consume Fedora.

To me, those are the sorts of actions that begin to put Fedora on EC2 at 
a similar level to some of the other architectures, etc.

Good think Fedora's PM and RelEng are on this list :)

And the person who writes the release announcements, right? Heh.

I have no idea what the status is. Dennis mentioned the other day that the
latest thing he had wasn't working (while we were in milan) - beyond that,
without a ticket or etc. i have no idea.

But I do.  :)  cloud-init is currently doing things that make SElinux 
unhappy in such a way that one cannot log in.  Dennis and I are working 
on the problem.

[Insert commentary about replying to oneself here]  8^)

I just tested a small fix by hand that appears to resolve the login 
issue.  When I get a chance I will spin a new cloud-init package that 
contains it in the hopes that we can get a working image out of koji.

An unrelated issue I noticed is that the images that koji generates seem 
to contain no man pages, and even installing packages that are supposed 
to contain them does not make them appear on the system.  Any ideas?
