- FLAVOR: Ubuntu Server
- HEADLINE: Separate purge-old-kernels command from byobu package
- DESCRIPTION: I like byobu, it's extremely helpful but I would prefer the purge-old-kernels script to be in a separate package. I like to run servers with the minimum amount of packages installed and don't really need byobu since most of my maintenance are remote commands. /boot gets filled up quickly and the purge-old-kernels is a script I think is well written and perfect. I want it separated from byobu, please.

- simosx 10y agoThis one would be useful. There are several things to test, and things that may break. It is possible to get corner cases. I would suggest to get purge-old-kernels on 17.10 in order to test it, and decide whether to put on 18.04 LTS later on.
- dustinkirkland 10y agoYeah, so see above... This one is 100% my fault. I wrote Byobu as well as purge-old-kernels to solve a really annoying problem. And I jammed purge-old-kernels into Byobu because Byobu is always installed every I have Ubuntu, and I always want purge-old-kernels everywhere I want Ubuntu. In any case, you're right. This is a distro-level problem that needs to be solved properly.
