** Description changed: + ==== Begin SRU Template === + [Impact] + Squashfs images published by Ubuntu on http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com + end in '.squashfs' and on http://images.maas.io/ephemeral-v3/ + the files are named 'squashfs'. + + When you boot an initramfs with rooturl it would automatically + determine/assume that content is squashfs if it ended in + '.squash' or '.squashfs'. + + The filter was just too strict and would thus not match + http://images.maas.io/ephemeral-v3/..../squashfs + + That meant a usage would have to re-publish the url. + + [Test Case] + Base this off of test case in bug 1711760 + + [Regression Potential] + Very low. + If a url does not match, rooturl would just complain and do nothing. + This just extends the things that match. + + [Other Info] + This does seem to be low importance. In fact it is, but its jsut part + of syncing cloud-initramfs-tools across xenial, artful, zesty with bionic. + + ==== End SRU Template === + The code that automatically determines a squashfs url is just to strict. You can explicitly declare it as squash with: - root=squashfs:http://<>/... + root=squashfs:http://<>/... but currently the automatic matching requires it to end in .squashfs or .squash. This doesn't match urls like - <url>/squashfs - <url>/my-squash + <url>/squashfs + <url>/my-squash which are as obviously squashfs urls as others.
