Re: Please remove wireless-tools from oracular
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. Cheers!
