ubiquity 2.18.8.3 source package in Ubuntu
Changelog
ubiquity (2.18.8.3) trusty; urgency=medium [ Stéphane Graber ] * Fix Windows UEFI detection. (LP: #1265192) [ Colin Watson ] * Exclude free space from counts of deleted partitions. * There are far too many situations where we fail to accurately detect all the operating systems installed on the disk, and we must defend in depth against losing user data as a result of this. This includes not misleading users into believing that an option will erase less than it in fact does. Therefore, never describe the use_device autopartitioning mode in any way other than "Erase disk and install Ubuntu", and offer separate "Erase Ubuntu <version> and reinstall" and "Erase disk and install Ubuntu" options even if we believe that the disk only contains Ubuntu (LP: #1265192). * Always show a confirmation dialog before committing partitioning. I've read considerably more reports of users having their data destroyed by some misunderstanding or other of the partitioner than I'm comfortable with; if a slightly ugly confirmation even when we think things are clear saves some people from that, then it's worth it, and it adds another layer of defence against bugs. -- Colin Watson <email address hidden> Wed, 29 Oct 2014 12:54:19 +0000

Binary packages built by this source
- oem-config: Perform end-user configuration after initial OEM installation
The oem-config script re-asks a number of questions that are normally asked
during installation, and reconfigures the system accordingly. This allows a
vendor to install a skeleton system, clone it onto a large number of
machines, and ship it to end users, while still allowing end users to set
up their own username and password, language, timezone, and so on.
- oem-config-check: enter OEM mode if requested
- oem-config-debconf: debconf frontend for end-user post-OEM-install configuration
The oem-config script re-asks a number of questions that are normally asked
during installation, and reconfigures the system accordingly. This allows a
vendor to install a skeleton system, clone it onto a large number of
machines, and ship it to end users, while still allowing end users to set
up their own username and password, language, timezone, and so on.
