Public bug reported: The linux-gke kernel is only maintained in xenial, which is by design. However, if someone installs an instance with xenial and then dist- upgrades it to yakkety, they will be islanded on whatever release of linux-gke was current at time of upgrade.
The linux-meta-gke package needs to track the generic linux package in non-LTS releases. This will not give the users all of the gke-specific goodness, but will ensure they have a clean upgrade path, both between non LTS releases and for LTS->LTS upgrades. ** Affects: linux-meta-gke (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1684315 Title: linux-meta-gke needs to provide metapackages in non-LTS releases to ensure smooth upgrades between releases To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta-gke/+bug/1684315/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
