Thank you Andreas for delving into this change. a) In a new upload we could add a virtual package u-boot-amlogic.
b) u-boot-amlogic-binaries provides binaries for the same U-Boot defconfigs as former u-boot-amlogic. We don't loose support for any board. The names of the binaries don't change. b1) The generic server images can be used with a bit of fumbling (cf. https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/installing-ubuntu-mantic-on- arm64-pine-a64-lts/38518) for most boards. Ubuntu does not provide armhf and arm64 images with preinstalled U-Boot. Except on RISC-V none of the U-Boot packages has post install scripts. Changes to the U-Boot packages affect current installations only if the user manually updates the firmware. b2) Canonical does not possess a test farm with featuring all the ARM boards. Testing occurs in upstream and to some extent by Debian maintainers. Canonical tests the boot process on the RISC-V boards supported by Ubuntu images. As extra test we could compare the list of provided binaries before and after the change. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2110301 Title: [SRU] Backport u-boot 2025.01-3 to Noble To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/u-boot/+bug/2110301/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
