Title:
Incorrect path for oem descriptor
Status in OEM Priority Project:
New
Status in OEM Priority Project precise series:
New
Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Recent versions of SW Center include the Distribution Channel
Descriptor in the user agent string passed to the server. This feature
was introduced for bug 1042749. However the original implementation
used an incorrect path and the DCD information will never be passed to
SW Center. The DCD is referred to as the oem channel descriptor in SW
Center. The spec for the DCD is here:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FoundationsTeam/Specs/OemTrackingId
The affected file is /usr/share/software-
center/softwarecenter/paths.py
Incorrect:
# OEM
OEM_CHANNEL_DESCRIPTOR = "/var/lib/ubuntu-dist-channel"
Correct (change hyphens to underscores):
# OEM
OEM_CHANNEL_DESCRIPTOR = "/var/lib/ubuntu_dist_channel"
The problem was introduced in this branch:
https://code.launchpad.net/~mvo/software-center/oem-descriptor-in-user-agent-5.2
Note that the tests in that branch use the correct path, but the path
in OEM_CHANNEL_DESCRIPTOR is incorrect.
The following versions of sw center contain the bug:
precise: 5.2.7
quantal: 5.4.1.2
I believe the bug is in raring too. Please SRU a fix to precise and
quantal.
