Port lsb patches to bionic

Photos gained read-only support for image/webp, need to reflect that in defaults.

Need to add the following to /etc/pulse/default.pa:

load-module module-switch-on-connect

because currently it's showing in AppCenter as a standalone app with GNOME screenshots

Port bash patches to bionic

In Artful-based builds of Juno, Epiphany is missing from Plank.

Must ensure clean upgrade for Switchboard plugs since old Color, Sound and Wacom will be gone for Juno.

Since everything is on GitHub now, I guess it doesn't make sense to have an apport launcher item anymore

Now that we have a clear path for third-party apps (and due to the repeated issues we've seen with apps not made for elementary OS and their indicators) I think Juno is a good time to pull support for Ayatana indicators.

Port evince patches to bionic

In order for connectivity checking from libnm to work, we need to add the config file that adds the connectivity server to check

It seems that whatever is supposed to set touchpad settings is not turned on

what's a scanner

casper runs a script that disabled update-notifier, but we don't ship it so it times out, adding more boot time. We need to rm /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/casper-bottom/31disable_update_notifier.

Port desktop-file-utils patches to bionic

Currently, if a user wants to verify the integrity of their download, they are directed here:

https://elementary.io/docs/installation

...where the documentation walks them through the process of verifying the sha256 sum of the .iso file they downloaded.

This is a great first step, but the twin linchpins of this whole arrangement are the elementary.io TLS certificate and the admin access to the site.

Anyone who can issue root certificates is currently in a position to serve users malicious copies of elementary OS. Currently, there is no way to detect this.

In addition, if the elementary.io website were compromised, it would also be possible for an attacker to silently serve malicious binaries, even if they cannot issue root TLS certificates.

Offering users the option to check a GPG signature on either a sha256 checksum file or the .iso file itself would solve this problem.

Other projects, such as Debian and Qubes OS, among others, have opted for signing their releases with an offline GPG signing key.

As the Linux Mint developers discovered, you do not want your website to be the single point of failure in your release security:

Ubuntu Source: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hicolor-icon-theme/
Upstream source: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xdg/default-icon-theme/

the index.theme file should support @2x folders like our icon set does so that third party devs can have their icons look right

Patch upstreamed and released in 0.16. We either need to get the update into Debian and then Ubuntu or backport ourselves

It got name-changed around the time of the github migration but Loki still uses the old package/branch.

For testing

See geoclue.conf changes requested in elementary/default-settings#17

syslog has some warnings that should be investigated:

Port gnome-bluetooth patches to bionic

Replace the GNOME plug with the native on in the daily for testing

Lots of .desktop names have changed since Loki, need to update them so default application associations are accurate.

It's only useful to Installer.

Port base-files patches to bionic

Port file-roller patches to bionic

org.gnome.desktop.datetime automatic-timezone

It now ships as separate components,
we need to add Pantheon; to the OnlyShowIn key in each desktop file that we want to use (they are located in /etc/xdg/autostart/ )

In order to get AppStream release data properly parsed in a local system we need to backport libappstream4 and appstream from artful to xenial. The most important package here is the libappstream4, the appstream package only contains the CLI.

Let's use the sweet new media cork module in Pulseaudio since we added support for it to all our apps. Just gotta uncomment this line to "/etc/pulse/default.pa"

load-module module-role-cork

Emacs is one of the very very fe programs that insists on an old gtk2 bug beeing fixed, that everyone else was doing a workaround for ... So we need to set an environment Variable to fix this:

XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1

Can we please add that to our session and have this problem finally be solved? I'm available for testing and anything you need 😉

Because of the HWE.

sudo apt purge xserver-xorg-input-synaptics-hwe-16.04 fixes things and reverts back to LibInput with better palm rejection, scrolling, and working settings.

They're still carrying patches to remove the headerbar for some reason. Maybe we can poke someone upstream about it instead?

I currently have a file at /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50appstream that claims to be put there by appstreamcli and it includes configuration for 64px, 64px@2, and 128px icons.

We should supply a config file that also includes 128px@2 icons as well as 48px and 48px@2

There's a ton in Juno now, do we need them all? See attached list.

Port the patches from the xenial packaging branch and remove Ubuntu's patches

Ubuntu disable theirs by adding a script to rm the autostart .desktop in /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/casper-bottom/31disable_update_notifier. We could probably suffice by just killing it during iso build process.
