This is something we should do, yes. I've created an internal ticket to
look into it (after failing to find the one I was *sure* already existed)
-- I personally am not very familiar with the relevant bits and pieces.

Jammy missing CNF data

[Brian Murray]

I was looking at some Foundations bug reports[1] today and discovered that
there is no command-not-found information for Jammy as of yet. Looking
at the archive there is no cnf folder for any jammy components. Adding
the new release to the list of releases for the cnf-extractor was
done[2] (by me) so I'm at a loss for what is missing. Does anybody else
have an idea?

[1] http://launchpad.net/bugs/1950052
[2] (mojo-prod-cnf-extractor)prod-cnf-extractor@wendigo:~$ juju config 
cnf-extractor releases
focal hirsute impish jammy

Thanks!

I don't think there are debs available, but the code is here:

https://code.launchpad.net/usd-importer

This should work, for example:

python3 ./setup.py install --install-layout=deb --root=/tmp/git-ubuntu
