✨ seeded-in-ubuntu ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to seeded-in-ubuntu, section 1 of the General Commands Manual 💖 this lil icon tells you whether a package is safe to upload during a freeze, and honestly? it's giving public service.

🌸 NAME 🌸

seeded-in-ubuntu — figure out whether a package is safe to upload during a freeze 🧊

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

seeded-in-ubuntu [options] package...

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

It lists all the current daily images that contain the packages you named 💅 Or it tells you whether the package is part of the supported seed. Either way you get the tea.

So here's the vibe check: if your package isn't on an image, it should be safe to upload 🫶 But heads up — during the final freeze, you should avoid packages that are in the supported seed too. no cap, that one matters.

Also, an index of the current manifests gets downloaded from UbuntuWire 📥 it just does that on its own, you don't gotta ask.

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -b, --binary — the packages you specified are binary packages 🍓 This is faster than source packages, because otherwise we'd have to query LP to work out the binary packages that every source package you named builds. so yeah, speedrun mode.
  • -u URL, --data-url=URL — the URL for the index of seeded packages 🔗 Default is UbuntuWire's service at http://qa.ubuntuwire.org/ubuntu-seeded-packages/seeded.json.gz ✨
  • -h, --help — show a help message and dip 👋 exit, done, iconic.

🎀 EXAMPLES 🎀

All the images that contain unity:

seeded-in-ubuntu -b unity
