pollinate (4.14-0ubuntu1) xenial; urgency=medium * pollinate, pollinate.1: LP: #1554152 - change the failure mode of pollinate, so as to more cleanly tolerate network failures - add a --strict option to re-enable the previous behavior, ie, strictly exit non-zero if pollinate fails for any reason - we've always promised that pollinate would operate on a best-effort basis, improving the prng seeding when possible, but failing gracefully when not possible; as such, we've made good on the first half of that promise, however, the latter half has proven troublesome; this is due to the fact that if pollinate exits non-zero, then its callers (cloud-init, maas, etc.) may well interpret the behavior strictly as a failure to boot the system, when in fact that's not the case; instead, we'll clearly print a warning to syslog, and we'll retry the seeding on next pollinate service start (e.g. a reboot); moreover, we'll carry a --strict flag in the case that users want to opt into the previous behavior
