Need to remove packages in apt.txt like [`python-mode`](https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/python-mode) which is not available in Ubuntu 22.04 Jammy Jellyfish, because the default docker base image used by repo2docker has changed from `docker.io/library/buildpack-deps:bionic` (18.04) to `docker.io/library/buildpack-deps:jammy` (22.04), see jupyterhub/repo2docker#1304.

Proposed change
#1287 upgrades the base image from Ubuntu 18.04 to 22.04.
This is a breaking change that most likely affects people using
apt.txt. Repo2docker CLI users can get around this by specifying the old base image, however mybinder.org users can't do this.I think we should add some user docs on this breaking change so that when jupyterhub/mybinder.org-deploy#2742 is merged we can refer to that doc if there are support questions on Discourse.
Alternative options
Do nothing, however this puts the burden of supporting users on Discourse contributors.
Who would use this feature?
Anyone using OS dependent setup (e.g.
apt.txt, or any OS level config).How much effort will adding it take?
Who can do this work?
Some of this might be technical (how do users upgrade their repos?). Some of this might be policy decisions (we don't support
Xas it's not practical to maintain long term).The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
