that's useful, thanks.

any idea where I could find this? I've spent the day looking at the
vmbuilder bzr branch and the git repo from the debian vmbuilder. They
seem both owned by Soren, the debian one being older but with a
working ec2 plugin. Unfortunately then it knows nothing about more
recent ubuntu releases so not really usable. Likewise the ubuntu one
is unusable because the ec2 plugin is broken (register_plgin(EC2) is
actually commented out and fixing that part just turned up more
errors).

Any help would be much appreciated. I suspect this is more of a
communication issues than anything as somewhere someone in canonical
has a working vmbuilder (or alternative) because new images are being
published.

thanks,

Spike
