Hello, gentle Ubuntu Installer folks! I've just pushed a large change to lp:ubiquity that merges oem-config's code into the ubiquity code base. This is a slightly risky change for ubiquity and a much more substantial/risky change for oem-config.
I've tested it, Evan has kicked its tires, and Colin has given it the once-over. But more testing is always good, particularly by those that have a vested interest in oem-config. So I'd really appreciate wider testing and bug reports about oem-config screwing something up. The package hasn't been uploaded yet, but the changes are in bzr. The purpose for the change is, obviously, code-sharing. The manual porting of interesting changes from ubiquity to oem-config (and the other way) gets old fast and is error-prone and slow. This means that the oem-config UI has changed a bit to match Ubiquity's UI. And in the future, will change as Ubiquity's UI does. If you are making a change to ubiquity that is either not appropriate for oem-config or is only appropriate for oem-config, you can now check for the 'UBIQUITY_OEM_USER_CONFIG' variable in the environment (or check the frontend's oem_user_config bool var). Variables that used to affect oem-config, like OEM_CONFIG_DEBUG, have been renamed UBIQUITY_DEBUG, or some such. The binary used to call oem-config is the same. It just runs ubiquity code behind the scenes. -- mterry • Canonical
