** Description changed:
- <will add these details soon>
+ Following on from similar package update requests @ LP: #2165036 LP:
+ #2161006, LP: #2139280, LP: #2113788 and LP: #2096762 this bug is a
+ request to update gce-compute-image-packages to the upstream version
+ `20261025.00` @ https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/guest-
+ configs/releases/tag/20261025.00
+
+ 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.
+
+ [Vendored Dependencies]
+
+ N/A for gce-compute-image-packages
+
+ [Where Problems Could Occur]
+
+ There are few changes between pkg versions `20261025.00` vs.
+ `20260819.00` (20 commits and 12 file changes) but 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`.
+
+ [Other Information]
+
+ This bug is used for tracking of releasing the new upstream version for
+ all supported series, as per the approved policy mentioned in the
+ following MRE:
+
+ https://wiki.ubuntu.com/gce-compute-image-packages-Updates
+
+ This package is only used on AMD64 and ARM64 but is built for all
+ available architectures.
