Hi Release team, I have raised an MP. Please let me know if there is a way to test the change. https://code.launchpad.net/~ravi-sharma/ubuntu-seeds/+git/ubuntu-seeds/+merge/467528 I am planning to write a short discourse post on https://discourse.ubuntu.com/c/foundations/25 and send a message on #ubuntu-flavors.

(Though it's still best that flavors be informed about this change.) The next step would be for you to raise an MP against the platform seeds. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.

Hello, Wireless Extensions support in the kernel has been deprecated[1] for a long time now. wireless-tools[2] userspace utility should be removed from the archive. It is seeded in desktop-common https://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/ubuntu-seeds/+git/platform/tree/desktop-common#n46 https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libnl3 is considered as a replacement for libiw-dev (wireless-tools), it already in main. iw[3] is considered as the alternate for wireless-tools utilities. I think we can introduce it as a replacement. I am following the instructions here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeedManagement/AddingPackagesToDesktopCommon * What is the purpose of this package? What does it do and why is it important to include this by default? Is there a user-facing impact of including this package by default? iw is the userspace utility for configuring wireless devices. It will be nice to include by default in absence of wireless-tools utilities. * How long has this package been in Main? Are there any open CVEs or high (or greater) priority bugs, or any other known issues with it? iw was introduced to main in Precise Pangolin. There are no open CVEs or high (or greater) priority bugs. * Who takes responsibility for this package and what is the best way to contact them? desktop team (https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages) is subscribed to the package. You can contact them on email - desktop-packa...@lists.launchpad.net or ubuntu-de...@lists.ubuntu.com Here is the bug for removing wireless-tools from the archive for reference - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wireless-tools/+bug/2068612 Cheers!
