Apparently this merge request goes against the current of existing plans:
09:39 <@spineau> roadmr: I really want to delete the binaries from checkbox-ng
so that we can host them in the relevant providers
This is what Ara and Jeff want, and apparently it's the intended plan. Sylvain said:
09:44 <@spineau> roadmr: for short term I'd vote for your MR to restore ccs installation but ideally checkbox-ng should support profiles like checkbox-gui, not positional arguments
So having c-c-s be installable and depend on correct stuff (for the time being) is a desirable goal. A possibility is this:
09:46 < roadmr> spineau: ok, I'll see if I can find another alternative. Maybe even introducing another package (c-c-s-interim) that installs checkbox-ng and the provider would be cleaner and easier to revert later
09:46 < roadmr> c-c-s-interim could Breaks: c-c-s (so it gets removed for the time being) and Depends: checkbox-ng provider
09:47 < roadmr> then when we make everything right again, c-c-s Breaks: c-c-s-interim to start deprecating it
I'll read a bit on debian packaging and think about the implications of this interim package (to be clear, it'd be a very temporary solution while everything else coalesces and stabilizes) and come up with a better fix.
