1St snapshot announced but ISO is old as November 1st

Pre-Release Discussion

The first snapshot has been announced but it seems like a joke as the ISO for Ubuntu amd64 is old from November 1st

From the matrix channel:

Skia
Desktop image has been failing to build since the beginning of November
itā€™s known and worked on already, but yeah, a bit unfortunate

As mentioned before, there have been some developer sprints, so there was no time to check the builds.
I also think itā€™s not that important, if you have the daily build from November 1st and kept updating it the outcome will be the same as on the snapshot. To me it would only matter if we were getting closer to a Beta/RC or Final build, then it would be worrying.

I think you need to be more careful how you phrase your question here. A LOT of very hard work goes on behind the scenes.

The notes for the 1st snapshot state very clearly:

My emphasis added.

I can second that since iā€™m following the dev rooms on Matrix and they are working very hard on the 26.04 LTS release.

Iā€™ve been using Resolute as my main system since the first ISO and Iā€™m happy with it. I also installed the Nov 1 ISO that Iā€™m using now but it seems strange to announce a snapshot if the corresponding ISO is missing.
So if Iā€™m using the Nov 1 ISO daily updated Iā€™m using the Snapshot 1?

The snapshot as I understand it relates to the install media itself, once installed you have to apply updates and your installed system will be newer than the snapshot that installed it was, ie. it should be essentially result in where you are.

( i used ā€˜essentiallyā€™ as there is a small chance that some early installs can include some cruft or files that are no longer used & werenā€™t deleted by pre-release-updates & changes, that wonā€™t be installed if a clean install of later media is usedā€¦ these files, if they exist, will be of no consequence & wonā€™t impact the system operation at all, just use a tiny bit of disk space - but can be detected if a file-by-file comparison is made of release media & some early pre-released dailies is compared )

FYI: Youā€™re aware I assume that pre-release, an apt full-upgrade maybe required to keep your system updated; when this is required there is a chance for these deprecated files to be left on the file-system; but apt upgrade would not apply all updates and thus wouldnā€™t be essentially the same as an install with later install media.

Where can I find these matrix rooms? Iā€™m on the daily builds for a month, rock solid so far.

I believe @maik-adamietz was quoting from Ubuntu Release as I see

19:43 Desktop image has been failing to build since the beginning of November
19:43 itā€™s known and worked on already, but yeah, a bit unfortunate

by @skia

That room is #release:ubuntu.com

Note: the timestamp in my copy Iā€™d not expect to match what youā€™ll see, that time no doubt is my local timezone (ie. AEST) which will differ to your own Iā€™m sure.

Please NOTE that room isnā€™t a discussion room, but is a room you can be a fly on the wall and learn heaps (what Iā€™m doing almost all the time in that room)

If you were after discussion rooms, there are rooms for that.

I have noticed that my VM installs of Resolute have received regular updates since the last daily build on November 1st. Expecting the next successful daily build to have a lot of changes.
Using Zsync I guesstimate a 60/40%

Okay Iā€™ll bite, which rooms are the good rooms for discussion? I donā€™t mind being a fly on the wall for the others of course.
