[15:16] <mitchdz> Is there a debhelper script to add a variable to the environment? I'm looking to add one and just thinking of appending to /etc/environment in .postinst one time, but curious if there's a script for that
[15:37] <mdeslaur> I doubt it, since setting environment variable would be against debian policy https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-opersys.html#environment-variables
[15:39] <mdeslaur> though running dpkg -S /etc/profile.d/ on my system shows a bunch packages that do it anyway
[15:43] <mitchdz> It definitely feels a little messy of an implementation, and potentially error prone
[15:43] <mitchdz> Maybe I could change it to have the new functionality be default, since this change will be something that's opt-out, and I can instruct the user to manually add the environment variable to disable this change.
[15:55] <mdeslaur> have a sane default sounds like a good idea
[16:05] <tsimonq2> juliank: Hi, I'm switching Cala to deb822 sources.list files at the dawn of NN. Now's your opportunity to object, and/or provide any guidance on implementation details. :)
[17:54] <juliank> tsimonq2: I guess you talk about that live installer thingy that iirc some flavours use? I guess comment on the foundations discourse or send an email to discuss, we should align all the sources.list.d/ubuntu.sources writers and unify them as much as possible, there should be a single source of truth.
[17:54] <juliank> We're still updating the spec on sources.list generators
[17:56] <juliank> I'm out for a week and playing with cat so don't expect fast responses :D
[18:50] <Eickmeyer> juliank: Afraid not. He's specifically talking about implementation in calamares, since that's what lubuntu uses.
[18:56] <tsimonq2> juliank: Sounds good, send my regards to the kitty :D
[21:08] <mclemenceau> Ack bluca, Thanks for the heads up. definitely something to look into.
