Foundations Team Updates - Thursday 05 May 2022

  • Subiquity:
    • Added visual indication for starred snaps publishers PR 1292. Noticed and got rid of unexpected green font color in basic mode (e.g., over a serial console) where we only use monochrome.
    • Fixed crash when going back from FS screen. 22.04.2 was not affected by the regression so no need to roll out a fix yet. PR 1291
    • HTTP proxy settings being discarded: merged curtin workaround MP 420651 (i.e., disabled code that removes HTTP proxy settings). Investigated root cause and traced it down to the way we handle debconf-selections. Enumerated different options to fix the issue consistently.
    • Made recent changes in /source API backward compatible with flutter desktop installer PR 1287. New expected arguments were added to /source as part of the redesign for third-party drivers
    • Rediscussed & redesigned copy-API requirements for flutter desktop installer with @jpnurmi. This will most likely be replaced by a new network endpoint having the ability to copy NetworkManager configuration files to the target.
