@Dan: Thx for your feedback i checked the diff at: https://i267500511.restricted.launchpadlibrarian.net/267500511/3d1e0c04 -3a0e-11e6-bd2f-002481e91f22.txt?token=4gc9PKPGwls2N9trTB0D26bj1nLqDrbv
Absolutly see your point in the buildds infrastructure :) Here is my feedback: * libnss-myhostname will fix _this_ problem but might break things for other users, i would not recommend going this route as it changes an already released package list and image. Bad for LTS i would suggest to use the existing and already proven cloud-init way to handle /etc/hosts like mentioned above - this has been proven to work for aws and other cloud providers. * If the future image has 557 MB vs 282 MB at the current - than please dont fix it :) seriously if a box update takes twice the time it took before the change, the change is broken. Changeing all this for a LTS breaks the idea of having lts. cloud-images - in my point of view - should contain only the bare minimum, if the user wants additional software there are multiple ways to do so in vagrant or to provide meta-data with cloud-init. Lets yust see what hashicorp tells us todo: https://www.vagrantup.com/docs/boxes/base.html There are a special category of boxes known as "base boxes." These boxes contain the bare minimum required for Vagrant to function, are generally not made by repackaging an existing Vagrant environment (hence the "base" in the "base box"). adding: virtualbox-guest-dkms and virtualbox-guest-utils makes sense even so its not needed (user can install it with provisioner and add the mount point) adding: linux-headers-generic nfs-common python-apport puppet chef byobu juju ruby will break stuff and is not needed - because were to stop ? next person will request cfengine to be included ?! IMHO not a good idea - but yust my 2 cents .. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1561250 Title: Xenial vagrant image is missing its hostname in /etc/hosts To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-images/+bug/1561250/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
