I would recommend to change the default version to the latest supported, hence noble and not trusty.

            DISTRO_CODENAME="noble"

This is unrelated to this PR and subject to various side-effects I can not anticipate so I would prefer this to be done in another PR.

Work is ongoing to add support for Ubuntu 24.04 in #1987.
Don't want to duplicate work and testing.

Work is ongoing to add support for Ubuntu 24.04 in #1987. Don't want to duplicate work and testing.

Maybe, although the changes in that PR are quite substansive and bigger in scope. Considering Ubuntu 24.04 has been released for two months now, it would be nice to support it as quick as possible.

@Foorack Given the recent reduction in resources (personal) since the Broadcom acquisition, time has become limited, and I am close with the PR under development. Given the bootstrap script is a simple bash script, it would be easy to change the selection of 'trusty' to 'noble' in your copy as a work-around.

The Salt Core don't have unlimited time, hence concentration on PR's under development at the moment.

I'm inclined to agree with @Foorack, salt bootstrapping is broken for common Ubuntu and Debian LTS setups and has been for months. The refactor is going to be great and is much needed for sure, but these changes are a couple of lines while the refactor is thousands of lines of changes and AFAICT hasn't started a real review yet.

With limited resources, it seems like it would make sense to take care of the bite-size fix PRs since that larger refactor and review could take weeks or months yet to see release, and may need its own patch cycles to see stability.

I hope I don't come off as argumentative, we obviously appreciate the hard work you're putting in and understand the struggle you're navigating! And, naturally, I'm biased given #1995. 😆

@Kenneth-Sills @Foorack @sblaisot Re-working the PR to not remove kitchen, so that I can get this out quicker.
Note: even the develop branch has lint issues, so not so simple as just adding 'noble' for Ubuntu 24.04, The develop branch needs work too.

Working through test failures on #1987 at the moment, so soon.
