Breaking changes

The ubuntu-toolchain-r/test PPA will be removed from Ubuntu images.

Target date

The images rollout process will start on May 13 and take 3-4 days.

The motivation for the changes

We work towards reducing the number of third-party repositories used in the images generation process in order to provide better security and compatibility of Ubuntu runners.

Possible impact
