Hi,
I'd be interested in pushing grub2-unsigned 2.12* to the various
-backports pockets during the 24.04 cycle (tentatively 1 upload
each in February, March, April for each release series), before
we push it to -updates after the 24.04 release and delete the
now-superseded backports pocket again.
Currently we do binary copies of grub2-unsigned and we want to
build in each pocket. We will have a public PPA where the binaries
would be copied from in any case, it might make sense to binary
copy them to -proposed though.
The packaging is still quirky though due to signing involved and
the later releasing to updates (and security) pockets:
- grub2-unsigned uploads are built in the PPA and binary-copied
- the changelog does not name the pocket because the PPA has 'jammy' etc
release pockets only
- the PPA only has security enabled, so we don't have the new debhelper
in -backports or anything :D
- The foo~bpo22.04.1 versions would sort after the foo~22.04.1 uploads
to proposed, so it would make sense to make an exception and strip
the bpo
Tentatively targeting around February so that we do 1-3 iterations
of pushing the 24.04 grub to backports before 24.04 releases and
we land it in proposed (and delete the version from -backports because
it's obsolete).
So anyway, let me know if there is interest from the backports team
in us doing that or we just stay in our little PPA world.
(Please CC me)
-- Complete build chain:
grub2-unsigned is built in
https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-uefi-team/+archive/ubuntu/backports-build
(this is the only one of the three PPAs linked here existing now)
it is binary copied, and matching grub2-signed is source copied to the
signing PPA. Then the signed results are copied back to the private PPA
https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-uefi-team/+archive/ubuntu/backports-proposed
for review of the signature before they get pushed to
https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-uefi-team/+archive/ubuntu/backports-proposed-public
from where they could be binary copied to the backports pockets.
