Ubuntu 22.04 Packaging - development & preview

Plex Media Server
185

All following here:

I have development / basic testing completed for the next packaging change for PMS on Linux.

I request your assistance to make certain it’s ready for public release (Beta)

Core changes:

  1. Rewrote CPU detection to account fo variable length Intel CPU model name strings

  2. Upgraded repository / Plex signing key management.
    – Ubuntu 20+ / Debian 10+ now use GPG trusted keyring signing
    ( Older versions continue to use apt-key method. )
    – Package installation automatically upgrades existing definition non-destructively.

  3. Corrected issue with CometLake / Beignet detection Ubuntu 22.04

  4. Reduced external sub-process use by 80%

  5. If uninstall w/ purge (e.g apt remove --purge plexmediaserver) WILL REMOVE all default files. (relocated metadata and override files unaltered)
