Ubuntu Studio Minimal ISO

[Erich Eickmeyer]

Hi TB and Release Team!

Much like Xubuntu has done, and to appease our community for an oft-requested feature, for 24.10 we would like to add a minimal .iso image.

I have already submitted a merge proposal at https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntustudio-dev/livecd-rootfs/+git/livecd-rootfs/+merge/469503 for a minimal installation, which I believe would be a first step towards this. Once we are past this, I believe it's simply a matter of adding the following lines, but I'm pretty sure it simply requires the following lines to be added at this point:

case ${SUBPROJECT:-} in
	minimal)
		HAS_STANDARD=no
	;;
esac

And also add the SUBPROJECT in ubuntu-cdimage.

Of course, I could be wrong, but anybody on the release team can advise since I don't really mess with this stuff very often.

As I understand it, this doesn't need to go through the entire new flavor process since as the precedent set when Xubuntu added their minimal .iso image.

Once Ubuntu Studio has theirs, Edubuntu *may* be request adding one as well as we have had some requests for this and a case made from the Educational community.

Thanks so much!
Erich
