ppc64el enablement for juju/lxc

I have sent patches enabling arm64 and ppc64el for both the ubuntu and ubuntu-cloud template, they should be in by the next 1.0 milestone (next week or so).

(I have obviously no way of testing them, I'm expecting the lxc-ubuntu template to work fine and the lxc-ubuntu-cloud template to fail horribly due to missing images or missing support in ubuntu-cloudimg-query).

I just uploaded cloud-utils fix to know about ppc64el
 https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/trusty-changes/2014-January/008098.html
and put a mail to lxc-devel to fix the 'ubuntu-cloud' template.

This bug was fixed in the package cloud-utils - 0.27-0ubuntu6

---------------
cloud-utils (0.27-0ubuntu6) trusty; urgency=medium

  * sync to trunk at revno 254
    * growpart: run partx only on block devices (not files)
    * ubuntu-cloudimg-query: allow 'ppc64el' as input. (LP: #1273769)
    * ubuntu-cloudimg-query, ubuntu-ec2-run: know about trusty

This bug was fixed in the package lxc - 1.0.0~beta4-0ubuntu1

Given the statements in bug #1276909 this seems to be a small patch so that we have a regex to recognize the architecture.

It seems the new patch would be something like:
--- juju-core-1.17.2.orig/src/launchpad.net/juju-core/environs/manual/init.go
+++ juju-core-1.17.2/src/launchpad.net/juju-core/environs/manual/init.go
@@ -128,6 +128,7 @@ var archREs = []struct {
  {regexp.MustCompile("amd64|x86_64"), "amd64"},
  {regexp.MustCompile("i[3-9]86"), "i386"},
  {regexp.MustCompile("armv.*"), "arm"},
+ {regexp.MustCompile("ppc64el"), "ppc64el"},
 }

I don't personally have a way to test this, and I don't know the exact strings that we should be using.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I'm pretty sure the arch changes haven't landed yet, right? (mapping the
values of uname -m to the names we'll be using for the juju
packages/tarballs)

Not yet, I had to hack my working copy.

Dave, can you turn you hack of your working copy into a branch proposal?

All my outstanding changes have long since been committed to trunk

I'm going to mark this as fix committed for juju-core.

The prereq changes to lxc and cloud templates have been released

Juju now understands ppc64{el,le} as an arch and can bootstrap

ubuntu@winton-02:~/src/launchpad.net/juju-core$ juju switch local
julocal -> local
ubuntu@winton-02:~/src/launchpad.net/juju-core$ juju bootstrap --upload-tools
Logging to /home/ubuntu/.juju/local/log/cloud-init-output.log on remote host
Starting MongoDB server (juju-db-ubuntu-local)
Bootstrapping Juju machine agent
Starting Juju machine agent (juju-agent-ubuntu-local)
ubuntu@winton-02:~/src/launchpad.net/juju-core$ juju status
environment: local
machines:
  "0":
    agent-state: down
    agent-state-info: (started)
    agent-version: 1.17.5.1
    dns-name: localhost
    instance-id: localhost
    series: trusty
services: {}

You can mark this fix release against, 1.17.5 for what it's worth

    - ppc64el enablement for juju/lxc (LP: #1273769).
    - juju userdata should not restart networking (LP: #1248283).
    - error detecting hardware characteristics (LP: #1276909).
    - juju instances not including the default security group (LP: #1129720).
    - juju bootstrap does not honor https_proxy (LP: #1240260).
