I can't imagine why we would need to be responsible for these and it would be best to not be considered a responsible party. I'm especially concerned because Go is so far reaching.

@tsimonq2 said that the DMB and perhaps more specifically cyphermox is the right person to contact about this.

Bonus points for figuring out some other strange packages:

  • galternatives - graphical setup tool for the alternatives system (GTK!)
  • chafa - Image-to-text converter supporting a wide range of symbols, etc.
  • muparser - fast mathematical expressions parser library

@wxl This involves removing ubuntu-report from the seeds and cyphermox regenerating the packageset, I think.

We don't even use ubuntu-report, I forgot why we added it in the first place -_-

Despite the fact that @tsimonq2 added ubuntu-report himself, it sounds like the consensus is to remove it.

I think I heard @hmollercl looking into why we have galternatives, too.

lxqt-config recommends galternatives

So. how do we go about removing ubuntu-report? Which repo should I clone?

wxl added a comment.Apr 12 2019, 10:53 PM

@The_LoudSpeaker clone rSEED and remove the line (if I remember there's only one) that includes (ubuntu-report). I guess technically the seed isn't even a "package" in that there's no debian folder. Just clone, make changes, add, and arc land.

@tsimonq2 I see that you accepted D7: Removed ubuntu-report for disco. As of 20190413.1, ubuntu-report is still in there. Did we get it in too late for the ISO to build with it? (Also a side question: are seeds germinated as part of the ISO creation process or does that have its own cron job?).

I doubt that's the case; I can respin it one more time if you want to be sure? I really thought it was a cron job that was set off something like every five minutes.

Could you investigate whether it's in any of the platform seeds? If it is, we should absolutely axe it.

To be sure though, I'll update lubuntu-meta and upload it real quick.

wxl added a comment.Apr 13 2019, 7:56 PM

I can confirm ubuntu-report is not in the platform seeds, at least in that I ran grep -R ubuntu-report * in the repo with no results.

…but the golang stuff is still in our packageset. @tsimonq2 ?

tsimonq2 added a comment.Apr 15 2019, 12:54 PM

Packageset updates are manual, and I poked cyphermox at one point. I'll poke him again, at which point we can close this task, I think.

wxl closed this task as Resolved.Apr 17 2019, 5:46 AM

Looks like the golang stuff is gone. The others would be nice to remove, but we took care of the big stuff.
