The ec2ubuntu-build-ami script has been enhanced and is now hosted on Google Code:

http://ec2ubuntu-build-ami.notlong.com

The build script has the following enhancements:

• Updated patches for the latest version of the AMI tools (1.3-20041 20071010).

• Switch from “uname -i” to “uname -m” to enable building on Ubuntu 64- bit (not tested).

• Support for 32- and 64-bit AMIs for all Ubuntu releases from Dapper to Gutsy.

New Ubuntu base install AMIs have been released for the all versions listed on:

https://alestic.com

This includes the previous Feisty and Gutsy AMIs, but also adds Dapper and Edgy AMIs just because we can (no public AMI documents published yet).

Note: The S3 buckets for the new AMI manifests have changed from:

• level22-ec2-images
• level22-ec2-images-64

to:

• alestic
• alestic-64

Let me know if you have any problems with the new build script or AMIs.
