[Bug 1686183] Re: Ship ubuntu-advantage in ubuntu-minimal
To summarize, as expected, all non-precise releases behave the same: a) enable-esm fails with a valid token because ESM is not available for non-precise ubuntu releases. That causes apt-get update to fail with a 404. The situation is resolved by running the disable-esm command. b) MOTD gets no ubuntu-advantage or esm related messages, regardless if esm is enabled or not. This is correct, since esm is only available for precise, and ubuntu-advantage has no other functionality. After having done the above passes on trusty, xenial and zesty, I decided to take another pass and verify that if ca-certificates or apt- transport-https are missing, that ubuntu-advantage would install them. This already happens on precise, but maybe the package names or dependencies changed in other releases. To properly test this I configured apt to not install recommends by default, otherwise just by installing apt-transport-https we would already get ca-certificates. I'm going to update the [Test Case] section of this SRU about this extra test and its preparation: $ cat /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/no-recommends APT::Install-Recommends "false"; Here are the results: a) zesty: ubuntu@zesty-ubuntu-advantage:~$ sudo ubuntu-advantage enable-esm Installing missing dependency apt-transport-https Installing missing dependency ca-certificates Running apt-get update... (...) b) xenial: ubuntu@xenial-ubuntu-advantage:~$ sudo ubuntu-advantage enable-esm Installing missing dependency apt-transport-https Installing missing dependency ca-certificates Running apt-get update... (...) c) trusty: ubuntu@trusty-ubuntu-advantage-1686183:~$ sudo ubuntu-advantage enable-esm Installing missing dependency apt-transport-https Installing missing dependency ca-certificates Running apt-get update... (...) ** Description changed: The ubuntu-advantage-tools package is a bit odd as it was first landed in precise to support the ESM effort inside canonical. [0] In order to bring this package up to date across other series in ubuntu, it has been recommended by the Ubuntu Foundations team to land into trusty next, then forward-port pocket-copy to all supported series until we get to the devel release.

[Bug 1686183] Re: Ship ubuntu-advantage in ubuntu-minimal
This is bit of a funky SRU (IMO). It seems like we want version 2 (from the linked repository) in all releases > 12.04. However, given that is not yet present in any release != 12.04, I'm not sure we need to worry about the exact version (that is, they can all be 2?). My immediate feedback is the debian/changelog from the linked repo should be for artful, not precise. Then that can be backported (I think) to all releases != 12.04. If this already existed, it seems like it would say "trusty" and then have been copied forward. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to ubuntu-advantage-tools in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1686183 Title: Ship ubuntu-advantage in ubuntu-minimal To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-advantage-tools/+bug/1686183/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
