You did not reach out to the named uploader on the package. While it's a team package, the named uploaders serve as useful points of contact that understand the package and how it fits with the wider ecosystem. > I admit I could've communicated both my intentions and those changes better. My suggestion would be to send Ana an email with what it is you're trying to achieve and what your end goal is. She can then advise on the best way to achieve it. > Which console-only images are affected by this? Do you mind pointing me > to them? The intention is that the live-tasks-recommended package should be installable regardless of desktop environment, or lack thereof. You should decide which desktop environments should use the new package, and which would not benefit from it. If all graphical desktop environments would benefit from it, then Ana would be able to advise on the best metapackage to add this to, or how to better integrate the changes. Note that currently the installer is not included in live-tasks at all and is included separately in live-wrapper. I feel that this inclusion is being rushed. From quickly skimming related webpages it looks like it may offer a UX improvement, but (IMO) we should commit to only shipping one installer. Shipping two doubles the support workload, QA workload, etc. Thanks, Iain.
