Added recipes and templates for setting up an apt mirror.
If you're installing a lot of ubuntu instances you can save some bandwidth by using a local mirror to install and update from.
The problem (for us bandwidth deprived Aussies at least) is that a mirror can easily be 45GB. This would cost $450 to download at our datacentre. I downloaded using a home ADSL connection and took it to the datacentre on a USB drive.
It's super fast to install extra packages now from my local apt-mirror. It syncs up each night. http://github.com/mbailey/deprec...

<h1>Creating a bug report</h1>
When creating a bug report, be sure to include as much relevant information as possible. Post the code sample that causes the problem. Preferably, alter the unit tests and show through either changed or added tests how the expected behavior is not occuring.<br/><br/>
Security vulnerabilities should be reported via an email to mike@bailey.net.au, do not use lighthouse for reporting security vulnerabilities. All content in lighthouse is publicly available as soon as it is posted.<br/><br/>
Then don't get your hopes up. Unless you have a "Code Red, Mission Critical, The World is Coming to an End" kinda bug, you're creating this ticket in the hope that others with the same problem will be able to collaborate with you on solving it. Do not expect that the ticket automatically will see any activity or that others will jump to fix it. Creating a ticket like this is mostly to help yourself start on the path of fixing the problem and for others to sign on to with a "I'm having this problem too".<br/><br/>
