Of course you know about my previous review on <https://code.launchpad.net/~edubuntu-dev/ubuntu-cdimage/+git/ubuntu-cdimage/+merge/437167>. I've just posted a further review requesting a minor correction; this should be ready to land soon. I notice this doesn't include changes to lib/cdimage/germinate.py to point cdimage at the edubuntu seeds. Feel free to update your MP, or we can pick this up in a follow-up commit. I have created the livefs record for lunar now, at <https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-cdimage/+livefs/ubuntu/lunar/edubuntu>. There will need to be corresponding changes to lp:~ubuntu-cdimage/debian-cd/+git/ubuntu and to lp:livecd-rootfs to reenable edubuntu support there as well. I can commit some time this week to implement those changes, or if you prefer you can make the changes and I can review them as for ubuntu-cdimage. > On Tue, 2023-01-31 at 18:34 -0800, eeickme...@ubuntu.com wrote: > > Hello Release Team! > > > > As many of you are aware, my wife and I have been working on reviving > > the Edubuntu flavor, myself being the technical lead and my wife as > > the > > flavor lead.
