[Bug 1841744] Re: Drop fwupdate from the archive from E

>I did not respond because I was busy with breakage in other unity related packages. You should give us time to do that specially when you filed the bug one week ago.

This bug has been actually a response to bug #1820768 which has been
open a very long time.  A simple "I'm working on it" would have helped.
More comments below:

> 1. First you should clone lp:~unity7maintainers/ubuntu-seeds/ubuntu-
unity.cosmic and then update structure and then push it as
lp:~unity7maintainers/ubuntu-seeds/ubuntu-unity.eoan.

Yes I updated STRUCTURE to point to platform.eoan, but I don't have
permissions to push to that location.  That's why I opted to push to
~ubuntu-core-dev, the fallback logic will pull from there instead if
necessary.  You can push to this location (lp:~unity7maintainers/ubuntu-
seeds/ubuntu-unity.eoan) now for your next revision.

> 2. Then you change the update.config in
https://code.launchpad.net/~unity7maintainers/ubuntu-unity-meta/

Again, don't have permissions to update this.  I have just emailed you
the local patch for it so you can update your git.

> As of now it is not clear how do I push a new update ? It's broken.

I'm happy to help work with you on this offline to re-enable your
workflow (and sponsor your next package when it's ready), please email
me.

Title:
  Drop fwupdate from the archive from E

Status in OEM Priority Project:
  Confirmed
Status in fwupdate package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in lubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in ubuntu-unity-meta package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Further to this bug report:
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fwupdate/+bug/1787254

  We can now move forward and remove fwupdate from the archive.  The new
  tool fwupd replaces fwupdate, and fwupdate is now seen as legacy.

  This won't have any effect on the ability to update firmware etc, the
  tooling all uses fwupdmgr.

  I would like to get Mario's +1 on this bug report before we proceed
  and to make sure that my assertions are correct.
