2024-05-20 20:08:55 <tomalok> ncopa with 3.20 on the horizon -- i was considering also providing cloud-init "generic" cloud images in qcow2 format -- cloud-init by default tries to figure out what cloud it's running on...  for other clouds that don't require anything special over and above the baseline (like kernel tweaks, different packages, etc) this might be a good way to
2024-05-20 20:08:55 <tomalok> trim things down, especially as we add metal cloud images to the mix
2024-05-20 20:09:37 <ncopa> yeah
2024-05-20 20:10:01 <ncopa> i also thought of merging the "alpine" provider with nocloud
2024-05-20 20:10:15 <tomalok> not sure i'll have it ready for 3.20 though - 3.21 for sure, if that's the way to go
2024-05-20 20:10:42 <ncopa> the 3.20 will likely happen tomorrow or Wednesday
2024-05-20 20:10:44 <tomalok> the "alpine" provider is basically a slightly different user-data handler 
2024-05-20 20:10:49 <ncopa> exactly
2024-05-20 20:11:20 <ncopa> i think the only thing that prevent me is to test locally that I dont break the nocloud provider
2024-05-20 20:11:55 <tomalok> i'm off for a long vacation starting wednesday night, so my mass cloud image powers will be offline until the following wednesday
2024-05-20 20:11:57 <ncopa> i also wanted to add some tiny-cloud tests to my alpine-installer-testsuite, to verify things works as expected
2024-05-20 20:13:04 <tomalok> 
ACTION nods

2024-05-20 20:14:03 <ncopa> i also have a 3.19.2 release to do this week, with security fixes
2024-05-20 20:15:01 <tomalok> significant enough for 3.18 & 3.17?
2024-05-20 20:15:25 <ncopa> not sure  yet
2024-05-20 20:16:19 <ncopa> but i doubt I will have time for 3.18. 3.17 releases beofre 3.20
2024-05-20 20:20:58 <tomalok> yep
2024-05-22 11:40:07 <ncopa> tagged 3.20.0
2024-05-23 10:31:17 <ncopa> I have started to make man-pages for tiny-cloud: https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/cloud/tiny-cloud/-/merge_requests/106
2024-05-23 10:31:36 <ncopa> i opened the MR mainly for discussing how to do this, and where to put things
2024-05-23 10:32:04 <ncopa> I was thinking of using scdoc https://git.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/scdoc
2024-05-23 13:16:24 <fossdd> +1 on using scdoc
2024-05-23 14:36:42 <guizmo34> mmm
