** Description changed: Due to LP: #1928434 release upgrades to Hirsute are not currently enabled for any one. However, the release upgrade process is safe for most systems so we should create a distribution upgrade quirk which prevents upgrades to Hirsute which is hardware specific. + + [Test Case] + 1) On Apple hardware running Ubuntu 20.10 download the release-upgrader tarball from -proposed (http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hirsute-proposed/main/dist-upgrader-all/current/hirsute.tar.gz) [This is necessary because upgrades to hirsute aren't enabled yet.] + 2) Extract the tarball + 3) Run './hirsute --frontend DistUpgradeViewGtk3' + 4) Observe a message regarding upgrades not being enabled for Apple hardware and the upgrade exit + + This should also be tested on not Apple hardware to ensure that upgrades + can proceed for those systems. + + [Where Problems Could Occur] + The _test_and_fail_on_apple() also will prevent upgrades for systems where /sys/lcass/dmi/id/sys_vendor does not exist which is a new situation. However, until the shim bug is resolved that seems like the safest option for users. After the shim bug is resolved we'll disable this specific quirk. + + Additionally, if the quirk is poorly written it could disallow all + upgrades but we are testing for this by testing it on non-Apple + hardware.
