** Description changed: + Original report + ========================= + Unless there’s a clear reason to change, we should continue using busybox in the initrd due to its smaller footprint. Prior to 25.10, - Ubuntu images used different coreutils sets gnu coreutils in the root + Ubuntu images used different coreutils. gnu coreutils in the root filesystem and busybox in the initramfs. We can keep this approach, with rust-coreutils replacing GNU coreutils. + + ========================= + + [ Impact ] + + * The change to rust-coreutils in the initramfs was accidental, only + the userspace gnu coreutils was supposed to be replaced with rust- + coreutils. We do not want to increase the size of initramfs. This has a + much larger impact on devices with small boot partition like Raspberry + Pi where we are not able to hold 2 sets of Boot Assets for A/B Boot. + + [ Test Plan ] + + * detailed instructions how to reproduce the bug + + * these should allow someone who is not familiar with the affected + package to reproduce the bug and verify that the updated package + fixes the problem. + + * if other testing is appropriate to perform before landing this + update, this should also be described here. + + [ Where problems could occur ] + + * Think about what the upload changes in the software. Imagine the + change is wrong or breaks something else: how would this show up? + + * It is assumed that any SRU candidate patch is well-tested before + upload and has a low overall risk of regression, but it's important + to make the effort to think about what ''could'' happen in the event + of a regression. + + * This must never be "None" or "Low", or entirely an argument as to why + your upload is low risk. + + * This both shows the SRU team that the risks have been considered, + and provides guidance to testers in regression-testing the SRU. + + [ Other Info ] + + * Anything else you think is useful to include + + * Make sure to explain any deviation from the norm, to save the SRU + reviewer from having to infer your reasoning, possibly incorrectly. + This should also help reduce review iterations, particularly when the + reason for the deviation is not obvious. + + * Anticipate questions from users, SRU, +1 maintenance, security teams + and the Technical Board and address these questions in advance
