Comment 6 for bug 1949237

Revision history for this message
Cubic PPA (cubic-wizard) wrote (last edit ): Re: Ubuntu Server 21.10 ISO Uses Multiple squashfs Files

The file...

    ubuntu-server-minimal.manifest

...lists exactly the same packages that are installed in...

    ubuntu-server-minimal.squashfs.

However, ubuntu-server-minimal.manifest has an unusual structure. Here are the first six lines:

    = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
    --- /build/livecd.ubuntu-server..manifest.full 1970-01-01 00:00:00.000000000 +0000
    +++ /build/livecd.ubuntu-server.ubuntu-server-minimal.manifest.full 2021-10-13 14:00:31.389289535 +0000
    +adduser 3.118ubuntu5
    +apparmor 3.0.3-0ubuntu1
    +apport 2.20.11-0ubuntu70
    +apport-symptoms 0.24
    = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

I will assume the "diff symbols" such as the "+" are not relevant for the server installer. (Therere are no "-" diff symbols in this file). Cubic will simply create a normal manifest with the name ubuntu-server-minimal.manifest.

The first few lines will look like this:

    = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
    adduser 3.118ubuntu5
    apparmor 3.0.3-0ubuntu1
    apport 2.20.11-0ubuntu70
    apport-symptoms 0.24
    = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

The other manifest files...

    0. filesystem.manifest
    2. ubuntu-server-minimal.ubuntu-server.installer.generic.manifest
    3. ubuntu-server-minimal.ubuntu-server.installer.manifest
    4. ubuntu-server-minimal.ubuntu-server.manifest

...will remain unaltered by Cubic and will simply be copied from the source disk.
