Basically it started out as a Feature Freeze Exception, that's why we had build logs, git logs and unit test runs attached. Also, the "rename" that is mentioned elsewhere did not happen with this package: the ubuntu-advantage name was kept, no new aliases were added. This will happen in a later SRU, with a later version of the package. PPA with test packages: https://launchpad.net/~ahasenack/+archive/ubuntu/ua- tools-1719671-take1 [IMPACT] Most recent version of ubuntu-advantage-tool on github includes fips and livepatch enablement. The fips enablement will allow customers to easily install and configure Canonical's FIPS certified modules on xenial, whereas livepatch allows xenial and trusty customers to patch the running kernel without a reboot. This SRU will cover both new features. In addition to the new features themselves, a new "status" command was added that will give a short summary about the available modules and their status, at a glance. Note: FIPS certified modules are only available for xenial. Livepatch is supported on xenial and trusty. The tool will refuse to enable either service on an unsupported ubuntu release. Without this updated package, customers of those services have to enable them manually by following a series of steps. [FIPS DESCRIPTION] When "ubuntu-advantage enable-fips <token>" is issued from commandline, - configure the private PPA where the FIPS modules are located - install the FIPS modules from this PPA to the local machine from where the script is run - configure the bootloader to enable fips Upon successful completion of these steps, the customer then gets a message stating to reboot the machine to complete the fips enablement process. Without the script, customers must perform the steps manually. [LIVEPATCH DESCRIPTION] Livepatch allows customers to apply kernel patches to a running system without rebooting it. The current instructions live in http://ubuntu.com/livepatch and boil down to: - install snapd if it's not installed already. On trusty this means a new kernel as well. - install the canonical-livepatch snap - obtain a livepatch token from Canonical - run the enable command with the given token The ubuntu-advantage-tools package simplifies this process by just requesting the token and performing all the other steps on behalf of the user. It also conveniently checks the running kernel and instructs the user to reboot into a newer kernel if needed to finish the installation (this is the case when running trusty). [FIX] Add fips and livepatch support to the ubuntu-adadvantage-tools package. See debdiff below. [LIVEPATCH TESTCASES] TRUSTY 0.

This update adds two new features to the package: FIPS (xenial only) and Livepatch (trusty and xenial), essentially making the package useful in trusty and xenial. For zesty there is no change, as none of these products are available for non-LTS releases. In case of broken core functionality or specific broken features, note that there is a manual instructions workaround if needed. [OTHER INFO] The way this package was made available in all the ubuntu releases where it is now was via a "pocket copy". That's why it has the exact same version in trusty, xenial and zesty. Currently artful has version 10 (a version 12 just missed the feature freeze), so in order for upgrades between releases to work, we adopted the backports versioning scheme, by appending the ubuntu release code with a tilda ("~") to the version. Another point is that even though ubuntu-advantage-tools is "just" a shell script, it is unit tested with python3, and these tests (and lint runs) gate merges in the upstream github repository at github.com/CanonicalLtd/ubuntu-advantage-script/. The tests do not necessarily run on each ubuntu release because of the version of python that is available in each. A clean run without any changes can be obtained in xenial and higher. Trusty needs a newer python3 (3.5 at a minimum).
