Per the comments, BASE_SEED was initially used to identify the seed in the
flavor to use for identifying preseeded snaps, and later was also used to
identify which "minimal-remove" seed to apply to an image.
The first usage is now obsolete after a refactor; we now correctly detect
snaps from any of the included seeds without needing an explicit
declaration.
The second usage only applies to installer images that are NOT using layered
squashfs, since for these images 'minimal' is a separate squashfs layer
rather than a list of packages to remove after the fact.
Refactor this code to eliminate pointless definitions of BASE_SEED and
define it only for the subset of flavors today that:
- have a 'minimal-remove' seed
- are not using layered squashfs.
Also Use Signed-By: /etc/apt/keyrings/preinstalled-pool.gpg and
make sure we only update from that .sources file as we did before.
This code may all be dead, who can say.
FIXME: We should figure out how to do an armored export of that key
and then embed it in the signed-by field instead of using a keyring
file.
If the previous if statement checking if PASSES_TO_LAYERS is true,
then the last return code be non-zero and a return statement with no
argument will return the error code of the if statement thus exiting
the script. This is not our intent. So we need to return 0 here when
layer name as already been registered
By invoking LXD, lxd-installer will install LXD from the right
place, thereby make it simpler for us to not hardcode the
channel and manually snap install it.
Without casper in the minimal.standard.live seed for flavors using the
new ubuntu-desktop-installer (or derivitives thereof), casper cannot
create a live user. Without this live user, Ubuntu Studio has been
experiencing the inability to login automatically from either the GUI or
manually from a TTY. This leaves the boot at a black screen with a mouse
cursor. This commit is an attempt to avoid the same situation. Previous
assessments of omitting casper from this line appear to have been
incorrect.
