@ravenpi As described above the image is under development and has bugs. Canonically generally does not disseminate images that we cannot support.

grub:

  • started preparing new updates with fixes for further OOM issues from 2.12, but apparently that causes regressions of their own I’ve just (23rd, 14:40 UTC) been told, so I guess holding off on those.
  • signed grub and shim for Ubuntu Core

apt:

  • have an initial implementation of archive snapshots but it’s not quite up to what we want (it stores separate files, requiring snapshot to be passed to install and it doesn’t handle cleanup sensibly in any way yet). Basically sort of like a macro, we replace the URL when parsing sources.list with the snapshot (well after it’s parsed and we create the representation for the cache and stuff)

deb822:

  • merged python-apt change, need to release tomorrow
  • initial stab at reviewing nick’s changes, still testing

proposed-migration:

  • pyicu retries, still blocked due to queue length and false boost failures triggerd by icu (boost fails because it’s blocked from running, lol)
