Public bug reported:
Specification: https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/spec-kernel-accessories-
seed-and-metapackage/43133
Pending MIRs: bpfcc is LP: #2052813; bpftrace is LP: #2052809.
This missed feature freeze because it turns out that the seed change
cannot take effect in ubuntu-meta until the MIRs are complete (I'm told
that ubuntu-meta regeneration is ignoring these packages because they're
in universe).
I think it is preferable to push this change into Noble sooner rather
than later, so that the image size implications can be felt in practice.
If a revert or changes are then deemed required, we will have the
opportunity to make those changes.
Therefore, I'd like to deliberately create a component mismatch to
enable this.
For ubuntu-meta, I will create the metapackage as a manually-managed
binary package for now, and switch over to the usual automatic
generation when bpfcc and bpftrace move to main.
After the ubuntu-meta change lands, linux-meta* will Recommend ubuntu-
kernel-accessories, which will cause bpftrace and bpfcc to be pulled
into the relevant images as desired.
If the MIRs end up being rejected, a revert of these changes will be
straightforward.
Release team: please could you provide an FFe ack for the ubuntu-meta
change as well as the linux-meta* change?
