remove artful from 3.30 targets #193

This always fails in apt-get update because artful is unsupported and its repositories no longer exist.

Since it's been that way for the last few versions and no one has complained, I guess we can just remove it from the list?

fredemmott commented 5 years ago

Ah; the upstream repositories usually stay alive for a while after official end of support, so our stuff doesn’t instantly break. This is fine.

jjergus commented 5 years ago

Well it didn't break instantly, it lasted about 4 months after the end of support for artful :)

If you think it's valuable, there are archives of old Ubuntu repositories (http://old-releases.ubuntu.com) so we can keep supporting these old releases, we'd just need to update our build scripts to point there.

I don’t think we should try to support unsupported distributions - but I don’t mind leaving them in the build system until they break, as long as it’s not extra work
