Added SRU Template, waiting for MP review to complete ... ** Merge proposal linked: https://code.launchpad.net/~paelzer/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools/+git/open-vm-tools/+merge/352237
** Description changed: + [Impact] + + * Without SRUing the never version users get issues running on more + recent hypervisors. + + * This is not backporting a single fix, but the version of a latter + Ubuntu release + + [Test Case] + + * TL;DR is "use open-vm-tools" but that can be quite complex for the + variety of potential Host versions. + * VMWare already tested this from [1] for Bionic and Cosmic and called it + good. + * We tried upgrading and the setup that I had available, everybody that + has different setups is invited to test theirs. + * I'd recommend to give this some extra time in -proposed to see if + anybody comes up with issues on this. + + [Regression Potential] + + * It is a new version which might contain new issues, and other than in + most MRE cases this isn't a just a stable-release (Of courese we are + not switching major releases, but also no pure fix release). + + * As agreed back when processing bug 1741390 the real verification of + open-vm-tools for having the test matrix and project ownership is on + VMWare which verified this from [1] already. + + [Other Info] + + * After bug 1741390 was sort of first of its kind last cycle this now is + the first on the agreed regular updates not only into new -dev releases + but also as SRU to the latest LTS under [2] "Long Term Support releases + we regularly want to enable new hardware" being "virtual hardware" in + this case. + + [1]: https://launchpad.net/~ci-train-ppa-service/+archive/ubuntu/3333 + [2]: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Other_safe_cases + + + + --- + There is a new Upstream version available. - https://github.com/vmware/open-vm-tools/releases/tag/stable-10.3.0 + https://github.com/vmware/open-vm-tools/releases/tag/stable-10.3.0 We should at least merge 2:10.2.5-1+b1 from Debian. And might go for 10.3 of above then - needs to be checked if it triggers any major issues. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1784638 Title: Merge latest Open-vm-tools from Debian and check if we can go for 10.3 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools/+bug/1784638/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
