Carlos pinged about this on Matrix (https://matrix.to/#/!slcYrFqWytcsbPzMxA:ubuntu.com/$Cy36RxSdvU- BacSvWG7H2hJSIaxNPV5E4GoPSghaJJk?via=ubuntu.com&via=matrix.org&via=matrix.debian.social):
Me: > So wslu provides the wslview tool for example, right? What about users who use it?

Carlos: > If we proceed, yeah, users would loose wslview and other features provided by wslu in a new image. The problem with that package is that it's unmaintained at this point, the upstream discontinued the project and org in GitHub. Your specific use case is covered by the terminal itself. Instead of running wslview <URL> one can simply ctrl+left-click over the URL and that will be open in the Windows browser as well. But I also reckon this is just one use case and users might have use cases we don't have alternatives for. So it seems to me that: 1) This will actually regress users, so isn't acceptable from an SRU perspective. 2) You already committed to maintaining the wslu package for the lifetime of the release when you took the action to add it to the release. Saying it is "unmaintained" to me only says that you wish to renege on the commitment that you (CPC) yourself made to maintain it in the first place. 3) Therefore there is nothing to reconsider. Nevertheless I will see what the SRU team think about this in our next meeting. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2115536 Title: [SRU] Allow building WSL images of Focal in the new format To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/livecd-rootfs/+bug/2115536/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
