** Project changed: stress-ng => stress-ng (Ubuntu)

** Also affects: stress-ng (Ubuntu Eoan)
   Importance: Undecided
       Status: New

** Description changed:

+ == SRU [Eoan] ==
+ 
  stress-ng --timer 1 --timer-freq 100000 --timer-slack -t 1 runs for a
  whole day and not 1 second. The timer-slack option eats the -t1 arg
  because it is defined as having an arg when in fact it is a zero arg
  option.
+ 
+ == Fix ==
+ 
+ Upstream fix (in Focal):
+ 
+ commit e044133ed6ebdbac16775d8ae0d130bc2dac96ea
+ Author: Colin Ian King <colin.k...@canonical.com>
+ Date:   Mon Nov 25 12:05:30 2019 +0000
+ 
+     Fix --timer-slack from consuming the following arg (LP: #1853832)
+ 
+ == Test ==
+ 
+ stress-ng --timer 1 --timer-freq 100000 --timer-slack -t 1
+ 
+ Without the fix, this will run by default for 24 hours.  With the fix
+ the -t option is parsed and it will run for 1 second as intended.
+ 
+ == Regression Potential ==
+ 
+ This is a one line arg parsing change so change set is really limited to
+ this one --timer-slack option.  Users may find the behaviour now changes
+ because it no longer consumes the next arg and hence the next arg works
+ and hence changes functionality.
