Multiple changes resulting in broken scripts

[haxrob]

There are multiple issues, likely from recent changes on various platforms:

1. cado-nfs repository is offline (scm.gforge.inria.fr/cado-nfs/cado-nfs.git)
2. Ubuntu trusty images are no longer available (may have to bump the image filter up to xenial, e.g. ubuntu-xenial-16.04-amd64-server-20210928)
3. ec2.py / ec2.ini have been removed from the official Ansible project. There are mirrors of it elsewhere, although using the old ec2.py script will fail when run against the latest Ansible version installed via pip. ansible=v2.9 looks like like a possible solution as this was the last that used ec2.py, although this also fails due to a prior reported issue in that release

Thanks!

As we're a small academic team, we're not very active in maintaining the project–but it would be awesome if you're able to provide a pull request to fix these up. The new capo-nfs repo is at https://gitlab.inria.fr/cado-nfs/cado-nfs.

@shaananc Not sure if this just happened within the last few days, but the link you sent is now also down; would you happen to know where it can be found now?

It did go down very recently, although I managed to take a clone on June the 29th which I have pushed to a repository on Github: https://github.com/x1sec/cado-nfs

Once their Gitlab instance is back up, I would suggest using that as the software is under active development.

Thanks, I also found an archived version of their Gitlab from the 28th on the wayback machine: https://web.archive.org/web/20230528225253/https://gitlab.inria.fr/cado-nfs/cado-nfs
