Trusty verification using the ubuntu-advantage-tools package from
trusty-proposed:
*** 2 0
500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-proposed/main amd64
Packages
a) enabling esm
Installation works, but enabling esm is not a good experience:
"""
$ sudo ubuntu-advantage enable-esm <redacted>
Running apt-get update...
W: Failed to fetch
https://esm.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty/main/binary-amd64/Packages
HttpError404
E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones
used instead.
$ echo $?
100
"""
Since there is no ESM for non-precise Ubuntu releases, it fails
correctly with a 404 error. Is that acceptable?
b) MOTD
There is no mention of ESM, precise, or looming end-of-life in the MOTD when
logging in, so that's good.
** Tags removed: verification-needed-trusty
** Tags added: verification-done-trusty
** Description changed:
The ubuntu-advantage-tools package is a bit odd as it was first landed
in precise to support the ESM effort inside canonical. [0] In order to
bring this package up to date across other series in ubuntu, it has been
recommended by the Ubuntu Foundations team to land into trusty next,
then forward-port pocket-copy to all supported series until we get to
the devel release.
The version here:
https://github.com/CanonicalLtd/ubuntu-advantage-script/releases/tag/v2
... has all on-disk bits correctly working, for all series, but no-ops
on any release other than precise (ESM is only for "unsupported" LTS
releases as it were). This is a request to land ubuntu-advantage-tools
into trusty, then pocket-copy it to supported series of ubuntu once that
is finished.
[Impact]
* Allow ubuntu-advantage users to access the extended security
maintenance script with a simple command line tool. This script needs
to hit precise machines and be easy for ubuntu-advantage customers to
enable, thus basefiles was chosen as a home.
[Test Case]
* Run ubuntu-advantage, it should print out help
* Run sudo ubuntu-advantage enable <token> (without sudo it will warn you),
but you need to be an ubuntu-advantage customer to get that token. In the end,
the script simply adds and removes an /etc/apt/sources.list.d entry.
+ * Verify that the MOTD does not contain any mention of ubuntu-advantage esm
or precise and its end of life
* you can contact me ([email protected]) if you would like a token for test
purposes.
[Regression Potential]
* Low, this is a new script, not included in any automated startup
paths.
