Description

In the UUI 1.9.5.3 source tarball, the Tails-specific code is guarded by:

   ${If} ${FileExists} "$DestDisk\isolinux\live.cfg"
   ${AndIf} ${FileExists} "$DestDisk\isolinux\live486.cfg"
   ${AndIf} ${FileExists} "$DestDisk\isolinux\live686.cfg"

(The Tails-specific code is problematic in itself, but that’s for another ticket.)

Meta: that’s not a blocker for 1.1, but I’ve flagged it for this version because even if Bug #7378 is fixed in time (unlikely), and if we want to stick with UUI, then this bug will be the next one to tackle.

  • Priority changed from Elevated to Low
  • Target version deleted (Tails_1.1)

Actually not: since we’re asking for UUI to simply drop the special-casing of Tails, the fact that the existing special-casing is broken and non-effective is not really creating actual problems. Dropping milestone, downgrading priority, setting type of work to something closer to reality.

That special-casing was dropped in UUI 1.9.5.4.
