I’m deploying another node to my LXD cluster. I’ve picked Raspberry Pi 4 with Ubuntu Core 20. Full automatic updates and sandbox for all the apps.

I will use LXD to deploy a GitLab Runner to help test my free software projects. The entire deployment is entirely automatic. Once you have a cluster, it shares profiles and all other configuration settings.

I have a simple LXD profile deploying an instance with cloud-init data to setup a gitlab runner from official packages and connect it to my projects.

So I wanted to fix a one-liner bug in a package I contributed to @ubuntu. It’s also a comparative journey, as I will be comparing that to @fedora. This was a journey, or rather, it still is, because the process takes days or weeks to complete. So, if you don’t know how this works in general. Linux Distributions take, curate and sometimes maintain various free and open source software from around the web.

Most of the time the upstream developer is not the package maintainer. Most of the time packagers specialize.
