[Bug 1387709] Re: utopic+ syslinux defunct because of missing assets

[Chris J Arges]

Hello Harald, or anyone else affected,

Accepted live-build into utopic-proposed. The package will build now and
be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/live-
build/3.0~a57-1ubuntu12.1 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 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, and change the tag
from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the
bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to
verification-failed.  In either case, details of your testing will help
us make a better decision.

  utopic+ syslinux defunct because of missing assets

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  Utopic's new gfxboot lost the ability to load data from outside the
  bootlogo archive, intead requiring all data to be in the archive
  itself. live-build needs to pack relevant data into the archive to get
  a working boot screen again.

  ubuntu-cdimage's workaround for this should be carried over, meaning
  live-build would simply generate the bootlogo archive as final step in
  lb_binary_syslinux.

  There is also bug #1387705 which provides an obstacle to testing a
  possible fix.

  [Test Case]

  * sudo ubuntu-defaults-image --release utopic --package ubuntu-desktop --flavor ubuntu --components main,restricted,universe,multiverse
  * boot created iso

  [Regression Potential]

   None comes to mind. Potentially live-build ISOs grow a bit in size
  since data would be duplicated (
