build an ISO image for the Intel IoT project

[Brian Murray]

The Intel IoT project would now like to produce an ISO image rather than the preinstalled image we had previously made. The command line for testing this follows:

DIST=focal ARCHES="amd64+intel-iot" for-project ubuntu cron.daily-live --live

The build should succeed and an ISO image named focal-desktop-amd64+intel-iot.iso be created on the cdimage server. The image should also include the linux-intel kernel and not have universe enabled anymore. (That's no longer necessary as the kernel has moved to main.)

Regression potential:

Since this is a change to the image build scripts, there should be no potential to regress existing users. But one should double check if regular Ubuntu images still build fine with the right kernel etc.

This has already been uploaded to Jammy.

livecd-rootfs (2.746) jammy; urgency=medium

  * Add the capability to build an ISO image for the Intel IoT project.
    Additionally, stop using universe with the project given that the kernel
    is now in main.

Hello Brian, or anyone else affected,

Accepted livecd-rootfs into focal-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/livecd-rootfs/2.664.34 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-focal to verification-done-focal. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-focal. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

I built the image using the following command:

PROPOSED=1 DIST=focal ARCHES="amd64+intel-iot" for-project ubuntu cron.daily-live --live

The resulting ISO can be found here:

http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/focal/daily-live/20211117.1/

I booted the image and universe was disabled and the intel kernel is being used. I've attached a screenshot as evidence. I'm subsequently setting this to verification-done.

Sweet! Thank you Brian!
