You are asking for a flag to be added in ubuntu-image, and ignoring anything I say about potential problems and ideas to solve it. You simply cannot tell how much time it would take to implement the proper solution because we've been talking across each other instead of having a productive conversation. Today it's a pseudo national holiday for me, but I will try to talk to Barry and Steve tomorrow. <div class="gmail_extra"> <div class="gmail_quote">On Oct 12, 2016 4:15 PM, "Oliver Grawert" <<a href="mailto:ogra@ubuntu.com">ogra@ubuntu.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">hi, On Mi, 2016-10-12 at 16:04 -0300, Gustavo Niemeyer wrote: > We've discussed multiple times in meetings and threads that we want > to represent the content of the images accurately inside gadget.yaml. > The fact we're not yet doing that is a bug that we need to fix, and > if there's disagreement we should talk about it. > The whole point of redesigning these tools is to evolve the status > quo towards something we are aiming at with underlying goals.
