** Description changed: - proposed is now used as a testbed and staging area in Ubuntu+1 and is - not to be used by humans. I just installed raring in a VM, enabled - proposed, and the upgraded with 'do-release-upgrade -d' When finished, - proposed is enabled and packages from proposed are installed. There's no - guarantee that proposed will even be installable. + [Impact] + People upgrading from Raring, with -proposed enabled, to Saucy will still have -proposed enabled. Because -proposed is used as a tested bed in Ubuntu+1 this can result in a terrible experience for people. + + [Test Case] + 0) Add raring-proposed to /etc/apt/sources.list + 1) Run do-release-upgrade -d + 2) Upgrade to saucy + 3) Observe that /etc/apt/sources.list has saucy-proposed enabled + + (Its also possible to inspect /etc/apt/sources.list after it has been + rewritten, when you are presented with the final upgrade prompt, and + observe that saucy-proposed is present in it.) + + With the version of ubuntu-release-upgrader from raring-proposed you'll + notice that /etc/apt/sources.list has a comment indicating that saucy- + proposed is not for humans. + + [Regression Potential] + Very little as we are just passing the --devel-release option along to the dist upgrader. + + Original Description + -------------------- + proposed is now used as a testbed and staging area in Ubuntu+1 and is not to be used by humans. I just installed raring in a VM, enabled proposed, and the upgraded with 'do-release-upgrade -d' When finished, proposed is enabled and packages from proposed are installed. There's no guarantee that proposed will even be installable. It should be disabled on upgrade to development release.
