Hi folks, One of the things we do as part of opening the new Ubuntu development series is to enable that series for the Canonical partner archive.[1]
The partner archive has been empty for all releases since groovy. In focal, the only package it contains is Adobe Flash - which will not be released in Jammy. The Snap Store has matured to the point that I believe it supersedes the partner archive, and we should remove this no-longer-used archive from Ubuntu systems going forward, pruning the cruft. This will require changes in several places across Ubuntu (livecd-rootfs, subiquity, ubiquity, curtin, cloud-init, python-apt) to remove references to archive.c.c, and changes to ubuntu-release-upgrader to clean up apt sources on upgrade between releases. This is all doable within the space of a release cycle. I have already solicited input within Canonical regarding this plan and have heard of no blockers. While it is unlikely that anyone in the community is going to have a problem with this deprecation if Canonical is not planning on publishing anything to it :), we want to be transparent to at least let know this change is coming.
