The changes are available in the following bzr branch but I'll attach the full patch here: https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/livecd-rootfs/xenial-proposed
** Description changed: [Impact] - * Ability to generate minimized images is a new feature of livecd-rootfs. Minimized images - have smaller footprint on disk, may not use initramfs to boot and may have smaller RAM - footprint as well. - * Using minimal images can save bandwidth and system resources and we would like to make - those improvements available for Xenial users. + * Ability to generate minimized images is a new feature of + livecd-rootfs.

[Test Case] - * A new autopkgtest (minimized) was added to test building minimized images. The test logs - show the generated image sizes for ubuntu-cpc images with and without minimization - and the minimized images have to be smaller. + * A new autopkgtest (minimized) was added to test building minimized + images.

[Regression Potential] - * The changes should not affect images which are not minimized but the minimized images may - not boot on some systems. For example the Linux kernel does not boot in a Vagrant VM - without initramfs, but the minimized Vagrant image does not include initramfs. + * The changes should not affect images which are not minimized but the + minimized images may not boot on some systems.

[Other Info] - * The current patch works around the 'minimized' autopkgtest failure on ppc64el which affects - Artful and can be observed when the Linux kernel package does not depend on initramfs-tools - (LP: #1700972) thus the minimized images don't include initramfs support. + * The current patch works around the 'minimized' autopkgtest failure on + ppc64el which affects Artful and can be observed when the Linux kernel + package does not depend on initramfs-tools (LP: #1700972) thus the + minimized images don't include initramfs support. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1721261 Title: [SRU] Release minimized image related changes to Xenial To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/livecd-rootfs/+bug/1721261/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
