choose-mirror (2.78ubuntu1) zesty; urgency=low
* Merge from Debian unstable. Remaining changes:
- Use Ubuntu mirrors.
- Ubuntu branding.
- Set default country to GB.
- Never ask mirror/suite, mark it untranslatable, and give it
appropriate choices for Ubuntu.
- Pick CC.archive.ubuntu.com (for the country selected in the installer)
as the default mirror. For ports architectures (armel, powerpc) use
ports.ubuntu.com instead.
* Add support for CC.ports.ubuntu.com; using the same logic as
CC.archive.ubuntu.com for general country mirrors.
- Drop the priorities of the country/mirror questions to medium if we're
installing from a CD that includes the base system.
- Support setting OVERRIDE_BASE_INSTALLABLE in the environment to force
choose-mirror to assume that the base system is installable.
- Skip mirror validation if the base system is installable and we're
installing from a mirror in the masterlist.
- Don't check if archive.ubuntu.com is reachable before asking for a
proxy.
- Allow preseeding the default CC.archive.ubuntu.com setup by preseeding
mirror/http/mirror to CC.archive.ubuntu.com, and likewise for
mirror/ftp/mirror.
- Only default mirror/country to the value of debian-installer/country
if the latter has any mirrors; otherwise, fall through to defaulting
to GB.
- Exclude all-countries mirrors such as ports.ubuntu.com when
determining whether there is a mirror in the country specified in
debian-installer/country.
- If the selected country has no mirror (excluding all-countries
mirrors), then fall back to the default.
