The definition of a manifest has changed. This is a consequence of our image contents having changed; the .manifest file is a reflection of reality. That this no longer matches the expectations of consumers (software or otherwise) of this file is not a bug in the manifest file. It's an incompatibility between the reality of what constitutes the content of an Ubuntu image, and the thing that is parsing the file. Maintaining format-compatibility with parsers that assume the contents of the manifest will always be a list of debs + versions would do a *disservice* to those consumers, by leaving them oblivious to the fact that the definition has changed. So no, I don't think livecd-rootfs should provide two manifests and I think this bug is 'wontfix'. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1803162 Title: non-dpkg information and broken format in manifest To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-images/+bug/1803162/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
