Developer notes

Impromptu notes and advice for developing Customizer. Do you have interest to further develop Customizer? Get started with the listing below.

Highlighted issues

• Development is not urgent, but required when significant changes happen in Ubuntu and its derivatives. You could be the next developer for Customizer.

• Installation via make for 4.1 releases from the master branch based on Python2, using "injection" method has been noted.

• Upgrading doesn't work well with some packages, such as libpam-systemd and other packages. For now, it has been somewhat fixed.

• Working directory pathname with non-ASCII causing ISO image cannot be extracted. Because Python2 defaults to ASCII encoding. Commit f3bdc01 has resolved this, but may not be all.

Miscellaneous

1. Issues with Pending label, which requires investigation and proper solution.
2. Issues with Official label, which may be limitation of existing build.
3. Issues with Feature request label.
