+1 maintenance

  • Got sqlite3 to migrate with a simple all-proposed retry

autopkgtest-cloud

  • Working on moving from mojo to terraform
  • Included in the above work, is fixing all of the minor bugs in our charms, to make them more easily re-deployable. I have been working on this also.
  • Replaced some faulty lxd remotes for armhf tests

iso testing

  • Various iso testing for noble point release - generic installer testing, TPM FDE testing, and raspberry pi testing
  • I’ve also been testing upgrades for ubuntu studio
  • Installer testing for MATE
  • Tested upgrading with the version of do-release-upgrade which was in proposed a couple days ago
  • Made an MP with a testcase for testing snap revisions with fresh installations (should probably be expanded to include upgrades) - it’s still WIP, as we need information regarding the snap tracking to be public and easily accessible for testers
  • Updated the isotracker with some modified test cases that didn’t get updated a few months ago

hardware iso testing

  • Testing of the whole pipeline and fixing minor bugs - of which there are a few - to quote @paride “I’ve done 90% of the work, now I only have the other 90% left to do!”

misc

  • Made a PR fixing a typo in the desktop installer

Distro

  • Proposed migration:

    • twisted vs python-tornado: requested sync for the new revision. Fixed.

  • Was on holiday last week, so a short(er) update this time
  • More work on the py3clean issue (LP: #2075337)
    • Finished working around FTBFS’ found in the universe packages that need patching
    • Uploaded ~60 universe packages with the added Breaks line required
    • @dbungert kindly sponsored ubiquity upload for noble (where it’s in main)
    • … and merged the oracular NCR to fix the version number
    • … which then FTBFS, because of course it did
    • … which I will look into when my plate’s less full, but it’s less important for oracular anyway (see below)
  • ISO testing for noble .1
  • IRC support on rpi-imager customization and cloud-init
    • Need to file a PR with rpi-imager about default user’s groups (e.g. use default seed, just rename user – needs further investigation)
  • Meetings
  • Discussion of the installer situation on the noble point release and forthcoming oracular release
    • Noble will be back to using ubiquity as the first-time setup after lang-pack issues were judged too severe for an LTS release
    • Oracular will still be using gnome-initial-setup (with the lang-pack issues; need to MP fix for that…)

dotnet

  • Attended the weekly .NET partners sync meeting.
  • Built a script to easily bootstrap .NET SDKs on other architectures, such as s390x and ppc64el. This script cross-builds the runtime and other components of the SDK and puts them together in order to output a .NET SDK tarball that can be used to build the VMR on these architectures. The script and instructions are available on GitHub.
  • Working on building .NET 8 bootstrap packages for s390x and ppc64el targeting Jammy.
