Re: [sabayon-dev] ISO Testing Results - F12 "crashing" the installer

[Sławomir Nizio]

I had a chat with mudler and the idea is:

- test this, if all fine it could go (Geaaru is helping with testing <3),
- otherwise it can be worked on and applied later.

(I deleted that branch)

I looked some more and it turned out to be related to what
get_may_continue() returns in the signal handler. It has been fixed
upstream. Here's my branch with the commit cherry-picked:

https://github.com/Sabayon/anaconda/commits/future-fix-crash-on-f12

I tested it by live editing files on the VM (in busybox vi… still better
than nano though). When I have time I can do more tests and this should
be good to go.

But I don't how if it'll get to the release. What do you think?

(One way would to be rage-merge it, let the ISOs generate and play with
them…)

Comment from my side and my point of view is that I avoid doing anything
with packages and bugs due to the "frozen" status.

Just for the record. The download page points to another release, not 16.11
(that doesn't have a press release).

IMHO we need to release asap, and think to rounding edges later.

Well, I don't think we would have to remain fully frozen. There would be a
few bumps that would still take place.

On site official release from latest news is 16.11 (a very old
release).
