We are at zesty with trusty metapackages which are broken for the update by PR #41 which updated the base to zesty, we need to update the metapackages to move forward.

@Abhi2424shek How can i help you?

[abishekvashok]

@vanhonit OS has been updated to Yakkety but the metapackages have not been done so. I could update some of them which have .changes file but I can't help for those without them, can you help by updating them?

[vanhonit]

Let me try. I am not sure because I did it 3 years ago.

[abishekvashok]

Sure @vanhonit :)

It now needs to be rebuild for zesty as of the latest PR and issue #41.

@abishekvashok I need your help that how to rebuild the meta packages for the changes that we made?

[abishekvashok]

We need a .changes file to update them. It's the same tool that is used to update as is used to build them

[meets2tarun]

.change file contain checksums , how can one alter that?
Would you please illustrate the way to update and build? Any link will be greatly helpful.

They are gpg keys and are autogenerated.

Thanks but it doesn't contain anything such as rebuilding of the metapackages.
P.S. I went through all the related pages of the link.

They are gpg keys and are autogenerated.

The process to generate changes in .changes file?

[abishekvashok]

Extracting the metapackage using any tool like the one mentioned in the link or equvis and building it again.
