> It's a hackish set for scripts that is unmaintained and unmaintainable and discontinued upstream.
The MIR[1] for this package stated back then (2019): """ Maintenance =========== - Actively maintained upstream: https://github.com/wslutilities/wslu - Ubuntu Foundations Team is subscribed to the bug reports - I'm the only listed maintainer of the package but it is a simple package and does not need a lot of attention. """ It was demoted to universe some point after focal (in jammy it's in universe already), but Focal is still an LTS and under ESM now. There is definitely an expectation to not "just remove it". It even has an SRU exception[3] for it. Confidence was very high. Was it a "hackish set of scripts" back then as well, or did it deteriorate since then? There are very few cases[2] for SRUs to remove a package, and much less for a package in main. None of the ones listed in [2] were actually in main, so removing wslu would really be something extraordinary, requiring more justification than what was provided. 1. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wslu/+bug/1820769 2. https://documentation.ubuntu.com/project/SRU/reference/historical-removals/ 3. https://documentation.ubuntu.com/project/SRU/reference/exception-wslu-Updates/ -- 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
