Public bug reported: [ Impact ]
- Currently, every supported Ubuntu image since Noble contains the file /etc/cloud/build.info which provides information about the build_name and its corresponding serial. Ex: build_name: server serial: 20250821 - This file provides crucial information about the image which is used by subsequent processes. For example: CPC test automation uses this to check if the image is a pro or FIPS image - Since this file was introduced in Buildd images in Plucky, Jammy images do not contain this file - We would like to add this file into Jammy Buildd images to meet requirements for cloud images, including Buildd images - The proposed plan involves changing the build file in livecd-rootfs to insert the /etc/cloud/build.info file at image build time [ Test Plan ] - Check if the current Jammy images contains the /etc/cloud/build.info file - With this change, all newly generated Ubuntu images should contain the above mentioned file [ Where problems could occur ] - If any of the user’s process involves creating a folder with a similar path, ex: if they have an automation which creates a folder cloud in /etc [ Other Info ] ~$ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS Release: 22.0 Initial draft MP created here: https://code.launchpad.net/~allenab/livecd-rootfs/+git/livecd- rootfs/+merge/492718 ** Affects: livecd-rootfs (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Description changed: [ Impact ] - Currently, every supported Ubuntu image since Noble contains the file /etc/cloud/build.info which provides information about the build_name and its corresponding serial.
