** Description changed:
In ubuntu 12.04 parts of the older HardwareEnablementStack is going out
of support soon. update-manager should support the transition to the new
- HardwareEnablementStack.
+ HardwareEnablementStack (HWE).
+
+ Impact:
+ - all user with of ubuntu 12.04.{2,3,4} are affected and need the update to
have a good transition
+
+ Testing:
+ - install 12.04.2 (or .3, .4)
+ - run update-manager
+ - verify that nothing special happens (except for updates being available :)
+ - install update-manager from precise-proposed
+ - start update-manager and verify that a "new hardware support" label becomes
available with a install button
+ - log into a console and verify that you get a message after login that you
need to upgrade your hardware support
+ - run ubuntu-support-status and verify that it displays information about the
new HWE support
+ - click the button, verify that information is available and click install
+ - after the install is finished, reboot and verify that update-manager does
not display anything about the hardware again
+ - verify that ubuntu-support-status and /etc/motd do not contain references
to the HWE anymore
+
+ Potential risk:
+ - if the new update-manager is buggy this may prevent users from getting
updates, so we need to test this carefully
