> 1) Are there any devices that *don't* need -settings (e.g. which don't boot with GRUB)?
It is more about the grub settings being possibly destructive to non-x1e hardware. Eventually we might want to include -nogrub unconditionally in the live installer iso. Currently we only support grub. > 2) Thus, is there a possibility of adding another meta-package which would only depend on the -no-grub package? No because currently only grub matters. > 3) Why split out the meta-package instead of defining the modaliases on the -settings package itself? Because ubuntu-drivers matches on the name and treats oem- and hwe- differently. > 4) The maintscripts in -settings run update-grub but ignore if it fails. Is this desirable / normal? I copied this from the ubuntu-x13s-settings package, not sure what the original intention there was. > 5) The postinst maintscript in -settings refreshes the mesa and gnome content snaps to (presumably) hardware-specific channels. However it'll do this both on install *and upgrade*. Is this desirable? It was at some point because we introduced those after we had a few installations so this is how we switched them over from the default. > 6) On a full build, lintian currently warns about "unknown field Modaliases". Seems this is just normal for XB- fields, and there's nothing wrong with the modaliases definition here, but it may be worth adding in a lintian-override just to make the build lintian clean. yes, I saw that and I think this is just lintian not knowing about Modaliases. An override sounds like a good idea. > 7) Lintian in pedantic mode complains about lack of Rules-Requires- Root and that the copyright header uses http: instead of https: also something we can fix easily -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2091375 Title: [needs-packaging] ubuntu-x1e-settings To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/2091375/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
