Foundations Team Updates - Thursday 15 December 2022

  • subiquity
    • Publish Subiquity 22.12.1
    • found LP: #1999173 issue with deletion of raids, do PR: 1515 / PR: 1516 about it
    • Investigated changes to user groups. Proposal is to not add the user to the lxd group (did PR: 1518 about that) but doing so means regular users can’t create lxd containers without additional config. Merged PR: 1471 instead, to implement the change for Desktop but keep Server as-is. Needs more thought.
    • PR: 1520 work on distutils deprecation and enable the lunar build. Allowed merging the long open PR: 1486 to add lunar as a CI test target.
  • boot chooser
    • investigate memory ranges for reservation with pmem, write casper-friendly script to manage this
    • work more on unicode enabled casper ncursesw app for selecting which ISO to chain-boot to. Using libjson-c for handling simplestream JSON.
  • proposed-migration: handle the test failure of pypy (the python 2 one), which was holding back libffi and other things. Test depends on a now removed py2 package, and given that pypy for python2 is pending removal, I fixed with a hint.
  • Sponsored upload for LP: #1998787 on unattended-upgrades
  • do my outstanding merges - syncs for klibc/hydra/cloudpickle, merge kiwi
  • SRU self-validation of LP: #1981385
  • candidate packet reviews
