Foundations Team Updates - 2025-11-13

Resolute

  • Merging inetutils from Debian Unstable. Tracking bug: LP: #2130124
    • A failing autopkgtest seems to have spotted a bug. It is still unclear if the bug is in upstream, in Ubuntu, or is the result of an incompatibility between the software and Ubuntu.
    • Discussion with upstream started, and investigation is ongoing.
  • LP: #2126058 is seemingly fixed by latest upload (once the build is done)

RISC-V

  • Beginning an investigation on the status of Flutter on RISC-V
    • Flutter is needed for Ubuntu applications (installer, security center, app center…)
    • Upstream Flutter does not seem to have plan to publish a RISC-V build of the engine
    • The engine could be built for RISC-V
    • We need to try to build an engine and see if it could work!
