* postinst scripts are never called with 'reconfigure' as the script
argument. Remove references to this (mythical) invocation.
* always call 'set -e' from maintainer scripts instead of passing 'sh -e'
as the interpreter, so that scripts will behave correctly when run via
'sh -x'.
* invoke-rc.d is never allowed to not exist - simplify scripts (and make
them better policy-compliant) by invoking unconditionally. (The only
possible exception is in the postrm, where it's *theoretically* possible
for invoke-rc.d to be missing if the user has completely stripped
down their system; that's a fairly unreasonable corner case, but we
might as well be correct if it ever happens.)
* db_get+db_set is a no-op; don't call db_set to push back a value we just
got from db_get.
* Omit superfluous calls to 'exit 0' at the end of each script.
* Remove maas-cluster-controller prerm script, which called debconf for no
reason.
* Don't invoke debconf in the postrm script either, debhelper already does
this for us.
* Other miscellaneous maintainer script fixes
* debian/maas-common.postinst: call adduser and addgroup unconditionally;
the tools are already designed to DTRT, we don't need to check for the
user/group existence before calling them nor should we worry about
calling them only once on first install.
* debian/maas-common.postrm: delete the maas group, not just the user,
as the comment in the code implies we should do.

Hi Scott, No not really... so if people set things manually, a MAAS upgrade to the SRU package won't break configurations because MAAS does not touch /etc/dnsmasq.conf at all.

[Bug 1109283] Re: [SRU] maas to Quantal and Precise
I wanted to avoid involvement with this SRU as I am risk of being to close to this issue to safely unbiased. However, I feel i can add some value. Therefore, please consider this to a be complementing comment - rather than pushing in either direction. My understanding is that if users used the maas-dhcp to allow MAAS to drive their dhcp (using embedded cobbler) then this SRU almost certainly requires manual intervention to insure uninterrupted operation. maas-dhcp is a universe package, that was never designed to be a core part of MAAS. It was provided as developers were making use of it, and it seemed useful to provide for this purpose. However it was intentionally left in universe. If the documented use of MAAS is followed, then it should be a well tested seamless upgrade.

[Bug 1109283] Re: [SRU] maas to Quantal and Precise
I would also like to add the following: The non-recommend implementation of cobbler based maas-dhcp will always destroy user configuration because cobbler will always generate the file /etc/dnsmasq.conf. When a does manual configuration for their dnsmasq service (regardless of whether they are using Cobbler MAAS DNS/DHCP), these changes will be lost because cobbler will always overwrite these file. (So if someone upgrades cobbler, these changes will be lost because cobbler will generate a new file) This also means that cobbler does not run its own instance of dnsmasq, but it uses the default dnsmasq service, generating a file in /etc/dnsmasq.conf and consequently overwriting users changes. This is something that we see as bad implementation. The SRU fixes this issue because it runs its own instance of DHCP/DNS, which doesn't change or affect any user configuration as MAAS manages its own files/instances of the service, and does not overwrite any manual configuration to services in /etc/.

Scott, If they did edit it and have a working system and then install the update, what will happen? If I'm reading you right, their changes, that made the system work, will be lost. Is that right? If they were to upgrade to a cobbler based MAAS version, then yes their changes (in /etc/dnsmasq.conf) will be lost because cobbler will overwrite this file as explained above. If they upgrade to the proposed SRU (which is cobblerless MAAS), their changes in /etc/dnsmasq.conf won't be lost because the SRU'd version of MAAS does not use dnsmasq, since it runs its own instance of isc-dhcp, and ships its own config file, leases file, etc. Hope this answer your questions. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to maas in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1109283 Title: [SRU] maas to Quantal and Precise To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/maas/+bug/1109283/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

Their changes won't be lost, but they also won't be used since (AIUI) you aren't using dnsmasq.conf anymore. If that's right then there are two cases: 1.

[Bug 1109283] Re: [SRU] maas to Quantal and Precise
@Nobuto, Thanks for your input, but as described in the wikipage (which no longer exists) it was *a* way of configuring a DHCP server, not *the* prime way of configuring one. Either way, MAAS itself is *NOT* aware if there's a DHCP server configured or not. @Scott, Yes, changes won't be lost, but they would/could still be used. So, Cobbler-MAAS is *not* aware of it having a DHCP server. Since cobbler manages it, MAAS doesn't really know whether the DHCP server has been configured or not. So in reality, this service is external from MAAS. In this case, if we were to upgrade to the SRU package, the DHCP should continue to work and should continue to tell MAAS nodes were they should be booting from because this still remains as a service external to MAAS. Now, since the SRU version of MAAS can be DNS/DHCP aware, and if the user wants MAAS to manage this, then the user will have to manually migrate from using the external dnsmasq to using a MAAS managed DNS/DHCP service, which is what I believe Julian was trying to say.

[Bug 1109283] Re: [SRU] maas to Quantal and Precise
Hi Scott, It is my understanding that if a user does something *unsupported*, say manually edit a file of an X python module to say hack their fixes in order for it to work the way they want it (which can break a system), then an SRU (or any new package version) will upgrade that file not caring if there has been any changes made. So this is the same thing that is currently happening with MAAS in precise. In order for this work they have to do some manual configuration that is not standard. Since DNS/DHCP is being managed by cobbler, every time cobbler re-generates the configuration required file, it will automatically overwrite this file, regardless of the changes that the user has made. So in other words, cobbler overwrites /etc/dnsmasq.conf because it manages it. If a user wrote its own particular/additional configuration for dnsmasq, it will be lost once the file is renegerated by cobbler. This also happens when cobbler is upgraded to a newer version. So in reality, cobbler is currently and actually doing what we are arguing here. So this SRU does fix this, because newer MAAS won't affect user configured files for DNS/DHCP, as it has its own.

To be clear, MAAS as its currently stands in precise has a *broken* implementation of DHCP/DNS when managed by cobbler. Most of the times it did not work well out of the box and decreases the user experience. That being said, all of the stakeholders were aware and had been notified that when an upgrade was to be made available, it will require to update the DHCP/DNS settings for those who run MAAS in precise with cobbler managing DNS/DHCP (which is probably not the use case for most of the installations). This is why Julian committed to providing upgrading instructions to migrate cobbler existing configurations to MAAS existing configurations.

I am largely unfamiliar with the Ubuntu SRU process so I'm contributing where I can here, please excuse my lack of understanding. I am upstream in this case so I'll write from that point of view. The existing 12.04 package is already *broken* which is the whole reason for this SRU. It was demo-ware and never worked properly. As Andres says, Most of the times it did not work well out of the box and decreases the user experience. Anyone who is really using it in anger on 12.04 upgraded to the PPA version ages ago. I'll repeat that - *existing installations are already broken*. This SRU went to the techboard because it was a necessarily big change to fix the old mess (which should never have been uploaded in the first place). Note that the quantal SRU does not have this technicality as it already works in the new way.

[Bug 1109283] Re: [SRU] maas to Quantal and Precise
It might have been smarter not to shove MaaS into precise during release week, but we are where we are. It may be demo ware from an upstream PoV, but it's part of an Ubuntu LTS release. I know the general topic of MaaS was addressed with the tech board, but not, I don't believe, requiring manual intervention to fix the package after upgrade. The policy is zero regressions and that would definitely be a regression. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to maas in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1109283 Title: [SRU] maas to Quantal and Precise To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/maas/+bug/1109283/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
[Bug 1109283] Re: [SRU] maas to Quantal and Precise
Hi Scott, We are in the process of drafting the upgrade instructions, and we will communicate them through normal means, ML's, blog posts, etc, unless you believe a debconf message should also be showed. I, however, feel the need to clarify this, since I fail to see how the MAAS SRU is causing a regression in MAAS in precise. The reason why I fail to see a regression is that MAAS in precise does *not* really provide support for DNS/DHCP configuration. The MAAS SRU *does*. In Precise, MAAS uses a code copy of cobbler that generates a file to provide DNS/DHCP. However, this file is not configured by MAAS, nor generated by MAAS. The configuration requires manual intervention in order for it to work properly, which we believe is part of it being a broken implementation of cobbler. Since we rely on cobbler, MAAS in precise makes use of a dependency that can make an *attempt* to configure DNS/DHCP, which is in fact, not recommended by us. Most people will have manually configured DHCP/DHCP as an external service from MAAS, which is the implementation that we recommended from the beginning for Precise. This is what the SRU *fixes* rather than *regresses*. This, however, requires proper configuration in the MAAS side after upgrade. Now, as far as Quantal, it does not have this issue because MAAS in Quantal already has support for DNS/DHCP management and we no longer use the cobbler code copy. Thank you for your input. Hope this information helps. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to maas in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1109283 Title: [SRU] maas to Quantal and Precise To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/maas/+bug/1109283/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
Re: [Bug 1109283] Re: [SRU] maas to Quantal and Precise
Right. I got it. The point is that whatever users are using MaaS on precise now from the archive have already done some manual configuration, so the fact that the current package requires manual configuration isn't a concern from an SRU perspective. It's my understanding from reading the bug, that if users that have already manually configured things once and have a working system install the new package, things will stop working until they do additional manual configuration. It's the working to not working part that is an issue. If I understand the situation correctly (please clarify if I don't), then that's not normally acceptable for an SRU. Debconf is not a notification system. I think you need to find a way for package install not to regress without manual intervention or it's not SRU material. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to maas in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1109283 Title: [SRU] maas to Quantal and Precise To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/maas/+bug/1109283/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
