Bug description:
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.
The version here:
https://github.com/CanonicalLtd/ubuntu-advantage-
script/releases/tag/v2
... has all on-disk bits correctly working, for all series, but no-ops
on any release other than precise (ESM is only for "unsupported" LTS
releases as it were). This is a request to land ubuntu-advantage-
tools into trusty, then pocket-copy it to supported series of ubuntu
once that is finished.
[Impact]
* Allow ubuntu-advantage users to access the extended security
maintenance script with a simple command line tool. This script needs
to hit precise machines and be easy for ubuntu-advantage customers to
enable, thus basefiles was chosen as a home.
[Test Case]
* Run ubuntu-advantage, it should print out help
* Run sudo ubuntu-advantage enable <token> (without sudo it will warn
you), but you need to be an ubuntu-advantage customer to get that
token. In the end, the script simply adds and removes an
/etc/apt/sources.list.d entry.
* Verify that the MOTD does not contain any mention of ubuntu-
advantage esm or precise and its end of life
* Verify that ubuntu-advantage enable-esm <token> installs needed
dependencies:
- create the following file and its contents to have apt not install
recommended packages by default:
$ cat /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/no-recommends
APT::Install-Recommends "false";
- remove ca-certificates and apt-transport-https:
$ sudo apt remove ca-certificates apt-transport-https
- run sudo ubuntu-advantage enable-esm <token> and verify that the two
removed packages are reinstalled
* you can contact me (d...@canonical.com) if you would like a token
for test purposes.
[Regression Potential]
* Low, this is a new script, not included in any automated startup
paths.
