## Status

|
|

**WARNING: THIS PROJECT HAS BEEN PUT ON HOLD, AND IT'S NOT STABLE ANYMORE**
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Working on this type of program is extremely time consuming, for a few reasons:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1. installers are sometimes updated (even within the same Ubuntu patch version), breaking the program in unpredictable ways;
|
|
||||||
2. the problem above is compounded by different distros having minor differences in configuration, which again, break the program;
|
|
||||||
3. it's not possible to automate the testing without a considerably sophisticated tool (which should, in theory, perform the operations on the Ubiquity GUI; this is also impossible for Ubuntu Server); while debootstrap installations can be programmatically tested, the bulk of the bugs are related to the GUI installer
|
|
||||||
4. I'm the only developer actively working on the project; the ZFS are collaborating with Canonical, and, while the outcome is highly desirable for ZFS, it makes manual execution the only option for even minor customization
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Therefore, I'm closing this project. I may keep developing in order to support my home installation, but I can't give any guarantee.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
I'm open to PR, though.
