I think system-image 2.0 is ready for release, and would like to request a landing slot.
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-system-image/+milestone/2.0 This version fixes a ton of bugs. Attached is the NEWS file excerpt. I've tested this new version locally and on my device and all seems happy. The big one of course is LP: #1217098, where the cached data files will be used if present and still valid. This avoids re-downloading all the data files if an update isn't applied until after system-image process suicide. Since LP: #1215586 is not yet fixed in system-settings, I am pushing this off to system-image 2.1. This shouldn't be a show-stopper, since we haven't had descriptions enabled in a while anyway. Cheers, -Barry 2.0 (2013-11-13) ================ * Avoid re-downloading data files if previously download files are found and are still valid (by checksum and gpg signature). (LP: #1217098) * In the D-Bus API, `ApplyUpdate()` is changed from a synchronous method returning a string to an asynchronous method not returning anything. Instead a `Rebooting(bool)` signal is added with the value being the status if the reboot operation (obviously, this signal isn't ever received if the reboot succeeds). (LP: #1247215) * Remove the old channels.json format. (LP: #1221843) * Remove support for old version numbers. (LP: #1220238) * Switch to nose2 as the test runner. (LP: #1238071) + Add -P option to provide much nicer test pattern matching. + Add -V option to increase `systemimage` logging verbosity during tests (separate from nose2's own -v options). * Write the `ubuntu_command` file atomically. (LP: #1241236) * Remove the unused `-u` and `--upgrade` switches. * Clarify that `--channel` should be used with `--build 0` to switch channels. (LP: #1243612) * `--info` output will include the alias name if the current channel.ini has a `channel_target` variable. * `--dry-run` output now includes channel switch information when an upgrade changes the channel alias mapping. * Add a workaround for LP: #1245597, caused by a bug in ubuntu-download-manager when presented with an empty download list. * If an existing image-master or image-signing key is found on the file system, double check its signature (LP: #1195057) and expiration date (LP: #1192717) if it has one, before using it. * If the winning path includes two URLs which map to the same local destination file name, the download should fail. (LP: #1250181) * Provide a bit more useful traceback in various places of the state machine so that error conditions in system-image-cli make a bit more sense. (LP: #1248639) * Tweak the scoring algorithm to highly discourage candidate upgrade paths that don't leave you at the maximum build number. (LP: #1250553) * When running system-image-cli under verbosity 1, print dots to stderr so that the user knows something is happening. * Remove unused `state_file` setting from client.ini.
