- subiquity
- PR: 1300 - provide a whole new implementation to fix this problem (LP: #1975629) with environment variables and the debug shell. Environment variables modifed for running subiquity in the snap first have their unmodified values set aside, which we restore for the shell.
- PR: 1308 - fix internal usage of free space during partition creation. A prerequisite fix for creating multiple partitions in a single Gap of available space.
- PR: 1309 - several utils for working with Gap objects.
- PR: 1312 - fix issue with loading an autoinstall file directly from the ISO
- PR: 1313 - add utility to find the largest disk gap across several disks
- PR: 1316 - gather up a few size related improvements - create partition is now handed a gap of appropriate size to partition into, and adjust the boot and uefi partition scaling functions to be able to operate when using part of a disk.
- PR: 1318 - remove an assignment to underscore that has the potential in the future to conflict with gettext.
- (no PR yet) - continue work on an autoinstall directive that allows for installing into an existing gap when doing guided partitioning, similar to d-i ‘biggest_free’. Works enough to handle a first VM test case. Most of the above PRs are part of this.
