Merge lp:~dsmythies/installation-guide/xenial into lp:~ubuntu-core-dev/installation-guide/ubuntu

[Doug Smythies]

Bump version numbers for xenial.
Change some lingering debian stretch references. (it is not clear to me why the package version of the example-preseed.txt file was O.K.)
I am not sure if adding chapter 1 section 7 with the previous revision was intentional or an oversight, but I am adding the new compiled chapter 1 section 8 files that result by the old section 7 being bumped to section 8 to the master help.ubuntu.com bzr branch.

This work is so that we (the doc team) can update the preliminary published 16.04 installation-guide on help.ubuntu.com.

[Doug Smythies (dsmythies)]

I wish you would merge this. In the end, I don't care, I have already published it on help.ubuntu.com.

hey Doug - LGTM - though, does changing the $manual_release default have any impact on the produced manuals? I didn't see any effect comparing the .txt versions. If not, I'd suggest leaving it as-is to avoid the merge conflict.

O.K., I reverted the "$manual_release" changes.

Sorry, didn't notice this the first time - but it looks like GNOME 3.18 is in xenial/yakkety:

I went ahead and just made the 3.14->3.18 change locally & pushed. Thanks Doug!

[Doug Smythies (dsmythies)]

Dan, thanks. That page you gave a link to did not exist when I did this merge proposal. Also when I search for "gnome" on http://packages.ubuntu.com/ I see a mixture of 3.14 and 3.18, but the actual desktop thing says 3.14. Anyway, I'm not going to re-publish on help.ubuntu.com just yet. Copied:

Also beware of this:
