I don't think we can reasonably switch to writing out the new format from launchpad-buildd in the short term; it would require some not-quite-trivial changes to Launchpad as well, and we're short-staffed at the moment with a lot of other stuff going on, so taking on more refactoring work doesn't really appeal. We've also recently dispatched builds for trusty (though I didn't check exactly why), and I believe its apt is too old to support the deb822 format, so we need to retain compatibility with it for a while longer. The simplest change might be to make launchpad-buildd ensure that the new default sources.list path (/etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu.sources?) doesn't exist, and then just write out the old format to sources.list as before. I definitely anticipate lots of breakage from this change! I hope all the effort will be worth it. -- Colin Watson (he/him) [cjwat...@ubuntu.com] -- ubuntu-devel mailing list ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel
