Bug Description

Binary package hint: casper

Attached is a script that can be used for assisting the regeneration of UUIDs used in casper. It is particularly useful when a system may already include a disk with the same UUID by default, to ensure that the correct casper directory is selected.

Thanks! I made a few small changes:

  * renamed to casper-uuid to fit local naming convention
  * added 'set -e', a good idea for all shell scripts
  * added -h/--help, since this caught me out on first try
  * double-quoted all shell variable expansions (careful to avoid double-quoting wildcards, since that will make them stop working)

I've attached the differences.

... actually, 'casper-new-uuid' is a better name.

---------------
casper (1.129) hardy; urgency=low

  * Add COPYING file with GPL text (LP: #211923).
  * Add casper-new-uuid script to simplify UUID regeneration process,
    contributed by Mario Limonciello of Dell (LP: #209847).
  * Update casper-snapshot for genext2fs --reserved-blocks =>
    --reserved-percentage option change (LP: #202048). Add a Breaks as the
    most lightweight available method of documenting that we need genext2fs
    >= 1.4.1 for this.
