@brian-murray Agreed, simply checking to see whether or not germinate is installed or not is a good idea. However, checking which version is installed, as is currently done with debootstrap, is a bit overkill and I disagree with the debootstrap version check to begin with.
Realistically, if one is running the update script on the current LTS or higher, it shouldn't cause problems and the version check seems to be at least encouraging the update to run on the development version. This seems odd as germinate is pulling from whatever is configured in update.cfg regardless of what series it's being run on, so the version checks just seem like, as Steve put it, needless barriers. So, in summary, your check for germinate seems sane. A wholesale version check seems overkill and unnecessary. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-meta in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2017786 Title: update script in ubuntu-meta not handling germinate or specified versions Status in edubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Status in kubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu: New Status in lubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu: New Status in ubuntu-budgie-meta package in Ubuntu: New Status in ubuntu-mate-meta package in Ubuntu: New Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in ubuntu-unity-meta package in Ubuntu: New Status in ubuntucinnamon-meta package in Ubuntu: New Status in ubuntukylin-meta package in Ubuntu: New Status in ubuntustudio-meta package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Status in xubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: update script handled debootstrap and devscripts, does not handle germinate. also doesn't handle potential specified versions in the package directory.
