imagecraft

  • PR # 46 - Update dependencies and adapt to craft-archives
    • Merged
  • PR # 47 - Migrate to core24 and python3.12
    • Even when building on a core24 image, python3.10 is used by default to build the imagecraft part. Python3.12 can be forced by staging python3.12- packages but then there are conflicts in staged files between parts. I asked the craft team for support to understand what is the best way forward.

ubuntu-image

  • Support to users
  • PR # 233 - Fix spread tests
    • Done and merged.
  • PR # 181 - Replace debootstrap with mmdebstrap
    • mmdebstrap is not in main. We are discussing if this is an issue and if we want to do an MIR.
  • PR # 222 - Run spread tests on noble too
    • Rebased
    • Trying to understand why the build on noble is failing only in CI. It looks like debootstrap is not creating the hostname file and I cannot reproduce that behavior locally.
  • Split the work the on GPT header handling in several PRs
    • PR #232 - GPT header rework - Refacto 1
      • Merged
    • PR #234 - GPT header rework - Refacto 2
      • In review
    • PR # 230 - GPT header rework - Refacto 3

python3-oauth2client

Misc

  • Discussed RSA 1024 concerns with @juliank
  • Got inputs about what “not a candidate” means and looked at britney’s code; this is specific to linux-meta/signed that to ensure all linux packages migrate at once and avoid some succeeding in migrating alone
  • Discussed launchpad webhooks and conversation drifted a bit at which point @bryce mentioned a web page and associated backend that the Server team uses and which could maybe replace merge-o-matic?
