** 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 1.7.5 for this. + As fwupd 1.7.x efi split 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. * Other possible failures: those are well-covered in the SRU exception test plan. - 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.
