  2. Refer the documentation to package eSim for Windows OS.

FOSSEE Summer Fellowship 2026 - Ubuntu 25.04 Port

As part of the eSim upgradation task, the installer has been ported to support Ubuntu 25.04. The upstream installer failed due to dependency removals, version mismatches, and strict detection logic.

During debugging in a clean environment, 38 distinct installation blockers were identified and resolved through 38 atomic commits in the installers branch.

Porting Summary

  • High difficulty (15): dependency chain resolutions (LLVM/GHDL handling, NGHDL sub-installer chain, dynamic path discovery)
  • Medium difficulty (14): PPA management, virtualenv ownership issues, package fallback logic, snap-based KiCad installation
  • Low difficulty (7): regex fixes, syntax-level fixes, and missing assets handling

All Ubuntu 25.04 port documentation is in the Ubuntu directory:
