Hi Steve,
A proper seed can be transitioned to - should not be a big issue.
update.cfg does need a fix - and I will try to find someone who is a core dev
to help with the process.
Right - the dependency issue with Cinnamon exists at the moment because some
Cinnamon components (at least in Debian) are 5.4.0 but some are still 5.2.0
which breaks the cinnamon dependency chain. As soon as it is uploaded and
synced into Ubuntu, the problem should go away.
I will continue to keep working on flavor requirements and when the time comes
I will definitely submit a patch to livecd-rootfs.
Cheers
-Josh

This needs to happen *before* the flavor is recognized as official.
- There is an ubuntucinnamon-meta package, but it's not been in the archive
until 16 hours ago. So, never been in any Ubuntu release; and currently
stuck in -proposed as:
* ubuntucinnamon-meta (- to 22.07)
Migration status for ubuntucinnamon-meta (- to 22.07): BLOCKED:
Rejected/violates migration policy/introduces a regression
Issues preventing migration:
ubuntucinnamon-desktop/amd64 has unsatisfiable dependency
ubuntucinnamon-desktop/ppc64el has unsatisfiable dependency
ubuntucinnamon-desktop/s390x has unsatisfiable dependency
- The source package points to github for its seed. This needs to be hosted
on Launchpad, and owned by a team of which ~ubuntu-core-dev is a member.
- update.cfg in the source package also has a weird mix of impish and jammy
- and it needs to be kinetic...

Please also double-check the list on
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecognizedFlavors>. Having centralized daily
builds is a precondition of being a recognized release flavor, and to turn
those on requires Technical Board approval (not Release Team). This will
also need to be implemented in livecd-rootfs, so patches welcome.
