** Description changed: [Impact] + + Cobbler (2.4.1-0ubuntu2) does not work as installed. + + https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cobbler/+bug/1570891 + + ... more to be listed. [Test Case] + # apt-get install cobbler + # cobbler check + - returns an error in failing versions, runs successfully (with appropriate messages) in working version + # cobbler get-loaders + - returns an error in failing version, runs successfully (with appropriate messages) in working version + # cobbler signature update + - returns an error in failing version, runs successfully (with appropriate messages) in working version + [Regression Potential] + The version of cobbler shipped in 16.04 (2.4.1-0ubuntu2) currently does + not work OOB. And the codebase it is based on is so old as to be + unmaintainable. When Ubuntu packaged this version of Cobbler originally + (14.04), MAAS actively used Cobbler. However, it no longer does and + cobbler is now in universe. I believe we are best-served by providing an + update to the release notes (which I will provide upon acceptance of + this SRU) for 16.04 and shipping an updated and working version (which + would also be in-sync with Debian). Finally, there is probably not valid + upgrade path for 2.4 Cobbler to 2.6 Cobbler (again, will be documented + in the release notes), due to a number of settings and configuration + options having changed. --- Note testing is needed to ensure the 2.6.6+dfsg1-12 version is actually fully functional (I've already found and submitted one bug to Debian). Ideally, Debian will resolve https://bugs.debian.org/cgi- bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=813549 and we can sync that version instead (which doesn't have the aforementioned bug). + + Also, the upgrade path for users who already installed 2.4.1-0ubuntu2 + needs to be well-documented, as this might break those users (on 16.04).
