** Description changed:
Following on from similar package update requests @ LP: #2139280, LP:
#2113788, LP: #2096762, LP: #2084486 and LP: #2073164, this bug is a
request to update gce-compute-image-packages to the upstream version
`20260116.00` @ https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/guest-
configs/releases/tag/20260121.00
This package has an SRU exception @
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#gce-compute-image-packages
including an ageing exception detailed @ https://wiki.ubuntu.com/gce-
compute-image-packages-Updates
[Impact]
This package is provided by Google for installation within guests that
run on Google Compute Engine. It is part of a collection of scripts and
tools that ensure that the Ubuntu images published to GCE will run
properly on their platform.
Cloud platforms evolve at a rate that can't be handled in six-month
increments, and they will often develop features that they would like to
be available to customers who don't want to upgrade from earlier Ubuntu
releases. As such, updating this package to more recent upstream
releases is required within all Ubuntu releases, so they continue to
function properly in the GCP environment.
[Test Case]
When a new version of this package is uploaded to -proposed, the
following will happen:
* an image based on -proposed will be built for GCE and published to the
ubuntu-os-cloud-image-proposed project
* the CPC team will run internal validations (CTF) and Google's upstream
test suite `cloud-image-tests` (CIT)
* the GCE team will be asked to validate that the new package addresses the
issues it is expected to address, and that the image passes their own internal
image validation.
If all the testing indicates that the new package is acceptable,
verification can be considered done.
- Special care will also be taken to ensure that the SRU-ed version also
- fixes LP: #2112595 as well.
[Vendored Dependencies]
N/A for gce-compute-image-packages
[Where Problems Could Occur]
There's only a single commit change for one file (+6-3) between pkg
versions `20260116.00` vs. `20260121.00`
(https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/guest-
configs/compare/20260116.00...20260121.00) so the blast radius should be
relatively small. And between the cloud-image-tests suite [0] (which is
run for validation by CPC _and_ Google) and CPC's own internal test
harness (CTF), there is confidence that most if not all "edge cases"
and/or obvious regressions concerns can be dismissed before the new
version lands in `-updates`.
