Foundations Team Updates - Thursday 02 February 2023

  • Responded to review of spec for Ubuntu flavour of raspi-config (need to respond to second round of comments)
  • Investigated Firefox acceleration on Pi (requires mesa currently in jammy, and for base of snap to move to Core 22; current issues with building Firefox on Core 22)
  • Proposed migration of python-hypothesis: pybuild-autopkgtest wasn’t finding the python3-exceptiongroup build-dep (despite it being explicitly listed in d/control, as opposed to the python-version limited requirement in setup.py); possibly related to LP: #2002819 (thanks @schopin for noting that!) or they may be some other issue (still digging into the tooling). Fixed by @tsimonq2 in the meantime, by-passing the autodep8 tests
  • Verified SRU of linux-firmware-raspi (LP: #1989713)
  • Uploaded new version of raspi-config for lunar
  • Uploaded new version of rpi-eeprom for lunar (LP: #2004569); this may become an SRU in future
  • Investigated slack space at the end of our images (rpi-imager#480); there’s only about 200MB slack at the end (in line with fudge-factor in livecd-rootfs), but the rootfs is only 66% full (1.2GB free!)? Need to dig further…
  • 22.04.2 release meeting
  • Interviews & tests
