[Thincrust-devel] Need help configuring adk2

[Cameron Ross]

Hi

I've been trying out adk2 () and have some feedback for you.  I am
installing on to a fresh install of FC11 x86_64 with all of the current
updates applied.  I've been following the instruction outline in the adk2
README and have the following questions/comments:

1) Where do you suggest the ec2 api tools be installed?  Its not clear from
what I've read of the ec2 documentation.

2) Maybe move the instruction to execute '. adk.rc' up to just below ec2
install instructions.  This will define ADK_HOME before it is referred to in
the instructions.

3) Maybe make a few suggestions on what might need to change within the yml
files.

4) When 'adk list appliances' is executed I get the error "ImportError: No
module named Cheetah.Template".  Executing 'yum install python-cheetah' does
the trick for me.

5) The following warnings and errors are generated when I execute 'adk
gather jeos':
/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/Cheetah/CacheRegion.py:30:
DeprecationWarning: the md5 module is deprecated; use hashlib instead

I get the same sort of error when I try to gather the live appliance.

I think both thincrust and adk2 has the potential to become a great tool for
implementing appliances.  Keep up the great work!

Thanks much,
Cameron.
