Ok. Thank you for that clarification. I must make a note here. If we are going to test early ISO’s we must know a traceable source, not a person with an alias and has not signed the CoC. This is to help prevent malware from being bundled into an ISO. I had encouraged user to create a launchpad account, etc… but that ISO is from an anonymous source so many people will not test it because it is untrusted. I have tested it and it had a few installation bugs (just as mine did) and works well. I am just following advice from some members of the U+1 testing team. The Mega upload site that I use is very slow to upload and download. I would hope there would be a Canonical site to upload to. Thye are other credible sites but have upload limits. I do not think sourceforge is the right place to upload ISO.
What about cdimage.ubuntu.com? I know, It can’t go into normal branches (only official flavors). But we could create a experimental branch and put iso under it (if Canonical permits it). For now it is not necessary to have daily build iso, we can do that later.
I am in agreement with this, (if Canonical permits it). I am awaiting decision on permissions to distribute remix. This should come first. I also suggest we rename the remix to Unitybuntu/Releases/18.04 as "buntu’ is also trademark of Canonical. I tend to agree with Jeremy that UUbuntu might confuse some users.
I agree that best place for “experimental” ISO should be cdimage.ubuntu.com. Of course if Canonical would allow this. This is traceable source that would somehow convince all people that Unity flavour has future.
If we talk about naming we can make it “simple” like other official flavours (ubuntu-mate, ubuntu-budgie) or we can be somehow “original” but at the same time not to distant.
Maybe something like “Reunity-remix”, “Ubuntu-reunity”.
But all previously mentioned proposals (Ubuntu-Unity, Uubuntu or Unitybuntu) are absoultely acceptable. Naming is not main goal at the moment.
Beside testing of unity-session under “parent” 18.04, parallel testing with early ISO is absolutely preferable. Let’s face it - at the end majority of people would like to have clean ISO with Unity only for fresh 18.04. installation.
I don’t think Sourceforge is a bad site. Some people had badmouthed it sometime ago, but you have to try and see. All known projects are there. Manjaro, Zorin, Unetbootin, Clonezilla, Archbang, Sparky Linux, Tor Browser, Atom text editor and Squashfs etc. We all use squashfs, without which Ubuntu live iso wouldn’t be here.
Just try sourceforge and see. That’s the place many look for new distros. Sometimes, you can find a gem there.
There is one Unity7.iso out there, and also an Unity7-Testing.iso. The comunity iso doesn’t have to carry the name Ubuntu at all. If, the Ubuntu name must be there, it can be Unibuntu.
I decided to follow jbicha’s advice and request permissions from Canonical Legal first. The unity7.iso at Mega can be tracked to me. In the original referral there is a disclaimer that it is experimental ISO created with pinguybuild app. If you want to participate in creating an ubuntu-unity ISO for 18.04 then please open a launchpad account and sign the CoC and upload to Mega or wait until I hear back from CL.
You created Unity7R which worked well. So… open launchpad account, sign CoC and join maintainers team. Then upload your new ISO (ubuntu-unity-amd64.iso) to Mega. Make sure it is update/upgraded to 18.04. I can do another build also but I have to watch my bandwidth. I’m poor as a churchmouse here eh.
If you don’t want to upload to Mega then wait till I hear from CL, if we can use cdimage.ubuntu.com experimental.
I think it’s the most suitable for what you want to do. It is trusted (https), only official Ubuntu members have this space available and 1,5GB as a limit is OK.
But if you want more space for the purpose of developing the Ubuntu Unity ISO images I think rt could made an exception.
