[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.
