Trusty verification using the ubuntu-advantage-tools package from trusty-proposed: *** 2 0 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-proposed/main amd64 Packages
a) enabling esm Installation works, but enabling esm is not a good experience: """ $ sudo ubuntu-advantage enable-esm <redacted> Running apt-get update... W: Failed to fetch https://esm.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty/main/binary-amd64/Packages HttpError404 E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead. $ echo $? 100 """ Since there is no ESM for non-precise Ubuntu releases, it fails correctly with a 404 error. Is that acceptable? b) MOTD There is no mention of ESM, precise, or looming end-of-life in the MOTD when logging in, so that's good. ** Tags removed: verification-needed-trusty ** Tags added: verification-done-trusty ** 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. 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 * 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.
