Looking at the code for do-release-upgrade, it has remove linux 3.8 but while it does list the RT variant, it does not list low latency. Of coarse there is no 3.9 low latency kernel yet, so that may be part of that too. However, It looks like the upgrade tool is based on metas and whatever has been user installed after the original install. None of our metas have the kernel in them as a depends (that I can find). So it appears that low-latency from old release stays because there is no rule to remove it... though I don't know if new versions will still be installed, and we get the generic because we don't have low latency in any meta or as part of the remove line.
Does this make sense? A new saucy install has only the lowlatency kernel (3.8 though, not 3.9) The code is here BTW: https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/ubuntu-release-upgrade The file that seems to be of most interest is: /data/DistUpgrade.cfg The lines tha stuck out to me are: MetaPkgs=ubuntu-desktop, kubuntu-desktop, xubuntu-desktop, ubuntustudio-desktop, ichthux-desktop, mythbuntu-desktop, ubuntu-netbook, kubuntu-netbook, lubuntu-desktop BaseMetaPkgs=ubuntu-minimal, ubuntu-standard Demotions=demoted.cfg [KernelRemoval] Version=3.8.0 BaseNames=linux-image,linux-headers,linux-image-debug,linux-backport-modules,linux-header-lbm Types=386,ec2,generic,rt,server,virtual Note there is no low-latency above. [ubuntustudio-desktop] KeyDependencies=ubuntustudio-default-settings, ubuntustudio-look This does not include any of our workflow metas. With the alt install that makes sense, with the live install it does not. The upgrade does not offer to install new workflow metas and as all workflows are included in a new install, perhaps they should all be dependancies of our desktop... however, if we were then to remove them from the desktop down the road, the next upgrade might remove them too :P perhaps our desktop meta should include a ubuntustudio meta upgrade/install tool? It could be run as part of the postinst script? Also, It is interesting that in removal_blacklist.cfg, all of the other flavour-desktop metas are mentioned, but not ubuntustudio. that may have to be so until the gnome2 DE is no longer supported ?? As prep for the 14.04 LTS release. We need to do a good uograde test from 12.04 to 13.10 and see what actually gets done. See if photography and publishing make it in for example. I have a spare partition to try this on.
