Hello release team, In the course of recent refactorings of ubuntu-cdimage / debian-cd we somehow broke the building of source ISOs. I doubt this is anything very deep and can surely be fixed but there is another option: stop building source ISOs.
AFAIU the point of a source ISO is GPL-compliance: if you are hosting an ISO made out of GPL-licensed components you should really also host the source of those components. However, we put source ISOs on cdimage (e.g. https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/source/20231011.1/source/) not releases, so everyone (?) who mirrors the ubuntu ISOs for us does not mirror the source ISOs. As our mirror operators have been working this way for approximately 20 years without issue, perhaps it's time to stop making source ISOs and delete even more code from debian-cd and ubuntu-cdimage. WDYAT? Cheers, mwh
