** Description changed: This is to support Dell's new Atomic Docking and WD22TB4 in focal. - As fwupd 1.7.x efi splie is done, let use 1.7.4 for this. + As fwupd 1.7.x efi splie is done, let use 1.7.5 for this. + + In this SRU, it include source package: fwupd-efi, fwupd, fwupd-signed and + libjcat (LP: #1961864) [Impact] * Several components that are used in OEM projects need to use the fwupd to support firmware update. * This will follow the SRU exception in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/firmware-updates [Test Plan] * follow the steps in the SRU exception page. Need to make sure it still works well even if secure boot is on. * Given fwupd 1.7.4 is so new, I think we should extended the date in proposed channel like 14 days. * Plan to loop existing OEM project and also request for more regression tests. [Where problems could occur] * BIOS upgrade failed and brick the machine: We test the fwupd in PPA and this does not happen. Given past experience, this only happens as we use unstable/not-tested bios from vendors. * component fw upgrade and the component no longer working: Per OEM team experience, this only happens as we use unstable/not-tested fw from vendors, or there are special steps and we didn't follow up carefully enough. * component fw upgraded and kernel driver/firmware in the ubuntu the archive does not support it: This is possible but has rarely happened before. And this is so hard to know in advance if IHV didn't do their job well. - This only happened in case that the failed fw is not supported - in the previous fwupd, but it supported in the new fwupd, and - the new fw happened not been supported by existing - kernel driver/linux-firmware deb. - We will notify OEM projects to be aware of it, so it won't - break things. + This only happened in case that the failed fw is not supported + in the previous fwupd, but it supported in the new fwupd, and + the new fw happened not been supported by existing + kernel driver/linux-firmware deb. + We will notify OEM projects to be aware of it, so it won't + break things. * Other possible failures: those are well-covered in the SRU exception test plan. - - fwupd does not work as Secure boot is on. + - fwupd does not work as Secure boot is on. - dbus interface in-compatibility. [Other Info] * Two bugs will also be fixed with this SRU: lp:1954965, lp:1953573.
