** Description changed:
+ Rationale & Proposed change
+ ---
+
On resolute, we introduced the hardware enablement (hwe) virt packages
-
+
when we install one -hwe package like qemu-utils-hwe
apt removes some installed packages from the base stack.
$ apt install qemu-system
$ apt install qemu-utils-hwe
Installing:
qemu-utils-hwe
Installing dependencies:
qemu-block-extra-hwe ubuntu-virt-hwe
REMOVING:
ovmf qemu-block-extra qemu-system-arm qemu-system-mips
qemu-system-ppc qemu-system-x86
ovmf-amdsev qemu-efi-aarch64 qemu-system-common qemu-system-misc
qemu-system-riscv qemu-utils
ovmf-generic qemu-efi-riscv64 qemu-system-data
qemu-system-modules-opengl qemu-system-s390x seabios
ovmf-inteltdx qemu-system qemu-system-gui
qemu-system-modules-spice qemu-system-sparc ubuntu-virt
It would be good to have a helper script to allow the users to switch
from one stack to the other without loosing any already installed
packages.
- Implementation
- ---
-
- A new binary package ubuntu-virt-helper-hwe is added to src:qemu-hwe
- ubunvirt (src:qemu) and ubuntu-virt-hwe (src:qemu-hwe) Depends on it
- ubuntu-virt-helper-hwe delivers:
- a APT hook
- a helper script
+
+ Regression & Impact
+ ---
+
+ The change adds a new binary package and only modifying the Depends of 2
existing packages
+ - ubuntu-virt (src:qemu)
+ - ubuntu-virt-hwe (src:qemu)
+
+
+ Build & Testing
+ ---
+
+ The packages are built in the PPA:
+ launchpad.net/~hectorcao/+archive/ubuntu/ubuntu-hwe-virt
+
+ They have been extensively tested on Resolute
+ - Upgrade from the current version
+ - Test the delivered feature (like APT hook and helper script)
