virtio was disabled in osinfo-db for Ubuntu 22.04 LTS because the
original 22.04 LTS included a buggy gnome-remote-desktop that broke
being able to log in on desktop with the default Wayland session. To
re-enable it in osinfo-db, I want to teach the "express install"
feature to automatically install all apt updates before the install
finishes so that the original 22.04 LTS install media won't leave the
system broken. On the other hand, while GNOME Boxes uses "express
install", it looks like virt-manager doesn't so this may not be a safe
change.

Ubuntu GNOME will not be doing a 16.04.6 release since we discourage
new installs of Ubuntu GNOME 16.04 because it will be unsupported
after April and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS has many improvements for GNOME fans.
So I marked the Ubuntu GNOME builds as disabled in the ISO tracker to
not waste the valuable time of our ISO testers.

Thanks,
Jeremy Bicha

The change was intentional. See https://usn.ubuntu.com/3785-1/

Re: Request to reset src:mariadb-10.1 to previous known working state in Ubuntu archives

2018-03-12 Thread Jeremy Bicha
I'm replying to this email but I wasn't subscribed to that list:
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-quality/2018-March/007069.html

Please send replies to ubuntu-release.

Otto, thanks for taking the time to email us. I am not on the Ubuntu
Release Team but here are my thoughts.

I don't like your proposal to drop the epoch. That will cause everyone
already using Ubuntu 18.04 (which is now in Beta) to have a version of
mariabdb installed that will not get any updates (for security or bug
fixes). Ubuntu isn't that much different than Debian here. You can't
really remove the epoch in Debian and I don't see how you can
reasonably remove it from Ubuntu either.

It feels to me like it might be better to move Ubuntu 18.04 to 10.2
and completely remove the 10.1 packages.

Do you know when 10.3 is expected to be officially "stable"? How risky
is it for Ubuntu 18.04 to switch to the current 10.3 RC [1] instead of
10.1 or 10.2?

How long would it take to get 10.2 or 10.3 ready for Ubuntu?

The support lifecycle for either 10.2 or 10.3 look a lot better than
10.1 for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. [2]
