Re: move to deb822 sources in ubuntu:lunar docker image

(resend with proper subject, sigh, mutt mishaps)

As part of deb822 sources file enablement, the specification
states a MVP for 23.04 to move sources.list to sources.list.d/
ubuntu.sources (in deb822 format obviously) inside Docker images.

While we're still porting aptsources to support those, I think we
can go ahead and do that now, we don't ship python-apt in docker
images anyway, and software-properties is really the only thing
broken by that change afaict.

For comparison, we had debian:unstable using a
sources.list.d/debian.sources for months now and it's
stable.

So I'd ask tianon to turn the switch next week if nobody
has strong objections.


What switch is that that Tianon can turn?. the tarballs to create the 
ubuntu:* OCI base images are built with livecd-rootfs/live-build. The 
whole process to create the images in under the control of the ROCKs 
team (and previously the CPC team).
So my understanding is, that we would need to adjust live-build and/or 
livecd-rootfs to use the deb822 format. And if we do that, would

we also need to adjust launchpad-buildd to handle the new format, too?

Best,

Tom

 start.ubuntu.com has already been in use for a while to verify
 connectivity from the installer, IIRC.

http://start.ubuntu.com/connectivity-check.html should set the header
X-NetworkManager-Status. That's what NM checks first [1]. Then you
don't need response=Lorem ipsum in the [connectivity] section.


Cheers,

 That seems rather overzealous to me. Why does it need to re-check so
 often, even after it knows that it is connected to the real world
 out there?

because the connection can die. e.g. you use you smartphone as wlan
hotspot and the internet connection of the smartphone dies. 

 It could stop polling until the connection state changes
 then.

if you don't poll, you never know if the connection state changed.

 Several million users pinging the same site every 5 minutes has
 both privacy issues as well as significantly increasing the traffic to
 start.u.c. as well.

maybe we should increase the period when a connection is available (20
minutes?) and decrease the period (10 seconds?) when the connection is
unavailable.

 At the same time, 5 minutes is much too long when you use it for some
 desktop application. After registering in the portal etc. you do not
 want to twiddle your thumbs for 5 minutes until your application is
 finally convinced that it can go on using the interweb now.
 
 It seems to me that this check would be more appropriate as a D-BUS
 method. It sure needs to be handled async by the application and can
 take a few seconds, but it avoids the 5 minute delay, the constant
 hammering as well as the user count issues?

imho we need both - a dbus method and the possibility for a periodic
check.

Tom
