Thanks for this. I'm definitely 👍 to supporting the latest ubuntu LTS.

Linking to #950, I definitely want to ship with the latest LTS.

I can take this one if y'all want.

I guess a larger question here as I'm working on it, is do y'all just want to move to 18.04 or support 16.04 and 18.04 at the same time? If it is the latter things are gonna get really complicated. It's definitely doable, but will be awful to support and maintain. Maybe just move to 18.04?

We need to update the imagemagick ppa to 18.04. Bit of irc discussion here. Happy to do this work as well.

Moving up to 18.04 was something I wanted to do pre-release but there just wasn't enough time. I'd prefer to just move to 18.04, but Im brutal and want to maintain as little as possible.

I'd say move, this is a demo/development box.

If you are installing this on your server you can setup whatever OS you want.

Running into the following issue on ubuntu 18:

failed: [other_stack] (item=[u'cmake', u'libpng16-dev', u'libtiff-dev', u'liblcms2-dev']) => {"ansible_loop_var": "item", "changed": false, "item": ["cmake", "libpng16-dev", "libtiff-dev", "liblcms2-dev"], "msg": "No package matching 'libpng16-dev' is available"}

@Natkeeran I think 'libpng16-dev' is now just 'libpng-dev'.

That's what I updated in my branch last week. Won't get back to working on it until Friday (July 4th) at the earliest.

The next place the build breaks down is what I mentioned above with the imagemagick ppa. I had planned on getting back to that on Friday, but if y'all need it sooner, feel free to assign it to somebody else.

Maybe this will help, this works on both Ubuntu 16/18LTS with Ansible 2.8.1

this was my solution for Islandora8 once I found Lyrasis's PPA not working.

@jonathangreen Any plans to provide a repo for bionic similar to http://ppa.launchpad.net/lyrasis/imagemagick-jp2/ubuntu/dists/ ?

IRC discussion from here:
https://logs.woh.ca/islandora/2019-06-28#1561735682-1561736848

15:29 <ruebot> jonathangee: https://launchpad.net/~lyrasis/+archive/ubuntu/imagemagick-jp2 -- can you add bionic (18.04)? 
15:29 <ruebot> jonathangee: or was that just a workaround for 16.04? 
15:31 <jonathangee> ruebot: so it is a work around, due to imagemagick in 16.04 not being compiled with jp2 support by default. it wasn't compiled with jp2 support because libjp2(?) wasn't accepted into the cannonical repositories over some security audit issues. 
15:32 <ruebot> jonathangee: ah! 
15:32 <jonathangee> ruebot: there was a ticket to pull in jp2 support when they could, so it owuld be worth checking if 18.04 is compiled with jp2 support 
15:32 <jonathangee> ruebot: if its not then we'll have to build a package for it 
15:32 <jonathangee> ruebot: let me see if i can find my notes, i think i have some links to the relevant tickets 
15:34 <ruebot> jonathangee: cool. checking on the vagrant/ansible machine now with 18.04. 
15:37 <ruebot> jonathangee: doesn't look like it is there by default so far. 
15:38 <jonathangee> ruebot: yah launchpad ticket is here 
15:38 <jonathangee> ruebot: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/imagemagick/+bug/1447968 
15:38 <ruebot> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/imagemagick/+bug/1447968/comments/7 
15:38 <ruebot> jinx 
15:38 <jonathangee> haha 
15:39 <ruebot> jonathangee: looks like we'll need the package then, right? 
15:40 <jonathangee> ruebot: yah i think thats the easiest thing to do. i can add one to that ppa when i have time. the package building process isn't always the easiest, but i think this one wasn't too bad. 
15:41 <jonathangee> ruebot: I'm not sure i'm going to have time for a little bit to look into it. If you wanted to try to build a package I can give you access to push it into that PPA. 
15:41 <ruebot> jonathangee: sure. i can give it a shot. 
15:42 <ruebot> jonathangee: is there a git repo for it, or is it all from scrach? 
15:44 <jonathangee> ruebot: I should write some documentation on this, so i remember for next time, but if I remember correctly. I pulled down the package manifest for the existing xenial package, then added the dependancies i needed and then rebuilt the package. 
15:44 <jonathangee> I think all it needed was to have the jp2 lib available 
15:45 <ruebot> jonathangee: cool. i'll dig in more here in a bit. if i can't get it sorted today, i'll get back to it next friday when i'm at york again. 
15:47 <jonathangee> ruebot: 👍🏻 lemme know if you run into any roadblocks i can help with 

@Natkeeran I don't have time at the moment to work on it, but if anyone wants to push a package to that PPA they are more than welcome to and I can provide access, or maybe we should create a Islandora PPA to install from. @ruebot I believe is going to work making the package when he has the bandwidth to work on it.

We could also install from source as mentioned earlier in this thread. I personally am not the hugest fan of doing that within playbooks, since you have to manager versions and make sure things are idempotent and it makes the playbook run longer as you have to do the compile. It is however possible, and might be the easiest thing to do here.

Should be good to go for testing:

• Islandora-Devops/claw-playbook#125
• Islandora-Devops/ansible-role-grok#6
• #1217

convert still crashes on jp2 conversion with the most recent version of imagemagick I have up on the PPA.

Technically everything is there, but it still crashes 😢

I'll dig back in on the 19th.
