short week (bank holiday last Friday)
subiquity
- opened a merge proposal against casper to tweak the logs persistence when booting from a recovery partition. Got rejected for the lack of a good use case for it.
- been discussing with the OEM team to get a working (and lasting) setup to test OEM installs on certified hardware. Got to a point where I could briefly boot an installer image but the setup seems broken ATM.
- been investigating possible solutions to make the call to /source optional in various installation scenarios
distro
- dnstwist vs pillow. Submitted a dnstwist patch to replace use of undefined property dropped from pillow 10. In the meantime, Debian released a new version (new upstream) and applied a similar patch. New version has been autosynced and migrated after a retry (some flakiness with chromium-driver / selenium).
- dbus: opened LP: #2027991 and an associated MP. Thanks @bryce for reviewing! Dropped some pieces of our delta and still investigating if other patches are still needed. Hit an issue where the debian/sid branch got updated in git-ubuntu causing conflicts. Opened a discussion in #ubuntu-devel
