Public bug reported:
ubuntu-support-status in update-manager-core has reasonably accurate
information about the support lifetime of packages in 12.04, but it does
not know about ESM. Users of this command will be told that all of
their packages are unsupported starting end of this month, regardless of
whether they have ESM enabled on the system.
I think ideally we would:
- have a list available, shipped with update-manager-core, of all the packages
supported in the ESM archive
- if the ESM archive is enabled on the system, use this source of information
about the extended support length
- if the ESM archive is not enabled on the system, direct the users toward
information about enabling ESM
Though the last part is a bit chicken and egg at this point, since the
precise archive is closing so the only place we have to publish the
updated update-manager-core package is in the ESM archive itself.
