Title:
[SRU] Backport label-ft plugin to 22.04
Status in plymouth package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in plymouth source package in Jammy:
Incomplete
Bug description:
[Impact]
* This is a request to backport changes in kinetic plymouth package
to 0.9.5+git20211018-1ubuntu4 to jammy. That version contains a new
plugin named label-ft, which was introduced to replace the label
plugin in Ubuntu Core systems. The difference with the label plugin
is that it pulls much less dependencies (LP: #1976352), which allows
a much smaller initramfs. This change should not affect classic systems.
[Test Plan]
* The test plan consists on creating a UC image using this package
and make sure that label.so and cairo/pango dependencies are not
pulled, while we still have a splash screen.
* For classic, the test plan is to refresh plymouth and make sure that
it still uses label.so and its dependencies, and still the splash
works.
[Where problems could occur]
* The change introduces a new package named plymouth-label-ft with
the label-ft.so plugin. This package will not be installed on classic
by default, and it is the main change proposed. The rest of the
plymouth code changes use label-ft.so as a fallback if label.so is not
present. This is just a few lines of code, and still uses label.so by
default, so the potential risk of breaking the splash should be small.
If something goes wrong, we could be without splash and without a user
friendly way of unlocking disks if using FDE.
[Other Info]
* Change should be relevant for UC only
