Most of those packages have a version number in them: we "just" need to find the newer version of them and install those. |
|
Okay I have an idea for this. Let me try writing a small script that does it. |
|
Okay here's what my script came up with: These are the replacement packages:These packages doesn't have any replacement and requires further investigation: Again, this is a basic script that I wrote to check for replacements. This is in noway accurate, and needs manual inspection, but it eases the burden on us. Also, @jyn514 I would've loved to contribute, but I don't have write access to your repo, so I'm commenting it here. |
|
Okay update: I'm gonna try building the image based on further manual inspection of those missing packages. Will keep you updated on my progress |
|
Okay yeah, that seems to work. Only 3 packages are now not found. I've narrowed it down to this: I'm not really sure what these packages are, so I'll need help finding replacements. The new packages.txt file is here:Also, sorry for the spam, I'm just super excited about this is all 😅 |
Thanks so much for working on this! If you like you can fork my repo and make a PR of your own and we can work from there instead. That would make it easier to read the packages as well since I'd only have to look at the diff.

@PhilippGackstatter do you have any idea why libelektra was removed? Are you interested in adding to the 20.04 release? If not I'm not sure there's a clear path forward here ... |
|
Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I'll check with the project's maintainers about the 20.04 situation and get back to you. One question: If we are unable to add it to 20.04, the existing documentation wouldn't get lost, it's just that when I publish a new crate, the docs wouldn't build, is that correct? |
That's correct. |

Note that we always redirect |

@rakshith-ravi some of these changes look a little odd. This is the diff I see:In particular, there are packages added that weren't there before:
Additionally, you've removed several packages that are present in 20.04:
Can you explain how you came up with the new versions that you posted? |

@jyn514 the script I wrote basically did the same thing I was doing manually: type the first few characters on a terminal and use tab-completion to find the actual package name. Naturally the script fell short in a lot of areas, but it gives us a good estimate. However, in the specific case of |

This doesn't pass, apparently 20.04 got rid of a bunch of packages. We'll have to make a policy decision about whether we should get rid of outdated ones/look for a new version.
